A John Campbell who died 14 Jul 1875 had an inquest.  52 years, Scotland.

But I think this is probably death 10542 / 1875 so can also be ruled out. Location doesn't fit, either.


Going up in number based on sparrett's suggestion, 10474/1875 appears to be Michael Deakin who died 30 July (if my calculations are correct) and inquest was 2 August.

Hi jorose,
Thanks for your reply.  Many thanks.  Your attachment from the deceased's daughter suggests this was not the person I'm seeking.   Back to searching, about 20 years now.
Regards

Hi jorose,
I am sure you have the right DEAKIN as listed on the Vic BMD index. And again we see the Geelong area and mid to late July death.

The reduction/elevation by index number is laborious but does occasionally give a useful hint when worked with Trove.
