Thanks for the death details, Janette. That "44 years in NZ" looks as though it could be correct, seeing that it is a very specific figure. Who was the informant, which sometimes shows how reliable the information is likely to be?

There was that one Wm Starkey passenger to Vic. arriving in 1891, who I put in a previous message.

Did you see the marriage details which Carol posted for James Starkey & Margaret Lewin? It was very kind of her to look up the record.
Margaret Lewin's father was as expected, but James Starkey's father was James Starkey Farmer. So the John Starkey family I suggested was wrong.
