Year of burial will help with record searches.

Sorry, I think it was in the early 70's.

There were a few deaths for a James SKELLY in the 70's but no burials located in Echuca for them.
Need more details to locate James death.
James year of birth, parents names, or marriage details would be a great help to find the correct James.
The haystack is big and the needle is small.

I think his full name was James Patrick Skelly, born about 1891. His wife was named Lillian Evans. His siblings are Agnes, Tom. Parents unknown.

Born: 1891 Dunolly, Victoria.
Father: Named as Thomas SKELLEY.
Mother: Named as Huliar MCCARTHY.

Ref: Registry of Births, Victoria. Reg #11800.

Note spelling of surname 'SKELLEY'
Mother 'Huliar' will be an index typo error and should be Julia.
Index spelling errors are common.
Certificates usually give the correct spelling of names.

Born: 1893 Dunolly, Victoria.
Father: Named as Thomas SKELLEY.
Mother: Named as Julia MCCARTHY.

Another spelling variation of SKELLY but safe to say this Mildred will be the sister of James Patrick above.

You mentioned your James had two siblings named 'Agnes' and 'Tom' so will keep looking and try and find the connection.

Do you have any further details for Agnes and Tom?

Ryl

No I'm sorry. All hear say. You have done a wonderful job, thank you. We were also told James is buried with his wife at Echuca.
