Don't know if this is of any help but the only death recorded for a Daniel MEREDITH was in 1899. He died in Clunes aged 65 years. His parents were recorded as unknown. I expect this will be your Daniel.

The birth of Joseph MEREDITH born c1870 in Clunes is not recorded in the Victorian Birth Index.
This may seem strange but there was a Joseph Meredith THOMAS born in Clunes in 1870. The mother was recorded as Mary THOMAS. Father not recorded. I feel there will be a connection. Source: Victorian Birth Index, Reg #22047.
Hope this is of some help. If your not in a position to follow up through the indexes I'm happy to help you if I can.
Forgot to mention there was also a Joseph MEREDITH and Margaret SINCLAIR married in Ballarat in 1895. Source: Victorian Marriage Index, Reg #4978.
Thanks so much for the info. I think you have solved the mystery of Joseph Meredith's birth record. I've never been able to find anything in the Victorian Indexes and the info for Joseph Meredith Thomas matches what I have. I'll definately follow this up. Thanks again :-)
Your thanks is my reward. If you hit another brick wall give FTC a call.
And good luck with your follow up.
Regards.
