Thank you Wizard 28 for that information my GGFather John Pollock married in Newcastle NSW on 20 June 1872 on his marriage certificate it said he was a mariner, also it does not have his parents names on it or his age. But i can,t find him on the ship he came over on either, an no one knows when or where he died.so how do i get a death certificate then as he has a son with the same name who died in 1913.
Thankyou again kind regards pat

This is birth of John Pollock the son

13520/1874 POLLOCK JOHN JOHN MARGARET MAITLAND


Okay I think I know whats confusing

John James Pollock b 1844
parents James & Margaret

John James Pollock b 1874
parents John & Margaret


The 1913 death is John James b 1844 who married Margaret Brown and his parents just happen to be James & Margaret.

The John J Pollock 1913 is not the son of John & Margaret but the father b 1844


It's easy to be confused when the have same or similar names. The best idea is to get a copy of the death certificate for John J pollock died 1913 Kiama and find out who he is.


This death is possibly the son John Pollock

15596/1941 POLLOCK JOHN JOHN MARGARET CHATSWOOD

The John James Pollock that died in 1913 is aged about 40 years.
He died after trying to save his wife from drowning. He made it back to the beach then dropped dead. His wife was pulled from the water and was not breathing, but was resuscitated. The town raised money for the wife and children.
An article where the rescuers were rewarded suggests that Mrs Pollock later died of heart failure

Hi Morgan
Yes this is what is puzzling me my GGGgrandfather uses his name as John Pollock, James Pollock and John James pollock on his marriage certificate it,s John Pollock Married a Margaret Brown in 1872 in Newcastle NSW. But where he died no one in the family knows.As they say he just left one day and never came back. And i don,t want to order every death certificate on a John Pollock.
Kind Regards Pat

Unfortunately sometimes you have to get the paperwork to verify the details.

You can get a transcript copy of the death for John 1913 & Margaret 1914 from this site it costs $18-$20 and has all the details, much cheaper than ordering it through the NSWBMD I think they charge $40-$45 for a certificate.

www.joymurrin.com.au

The prices for the transcripts may have gone up from last year but it's a really good research cost saver.

Thank you all so much for helping me with this problem and yes i will order the death certificates and go from their.
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter.
Kind Regards Pat
