Event: Death
Father: John Alexander
Mother: Margaret
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Birth Place: BELFAST
Death Place: BALLARAT
Year: 1872

I'm not sure if the age on the shipping record or the age given on his monther's death certificate is a more accurate indication of when Linden was born.

So far I can't find a birth for either James or Linden or a death for spouse John Alexander. Nor can I find a marriage or a death or anything on Linden after 1886. Nor can I find a birth for Margaret, or the deaths of her parents James abt 1866 and Ellen (nee NEWELL) abt 1868.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Fred
