Help needed to locate a marriage &/or death for William John PRICE born abt. 1852 in Wales. William is the first born child of John Price and Eliza Rudge who married 12/4/1851 Merthyr Tydfil. John and Eliza travelled with William to Australia in I believe appr. 1852 and set up home in Victoria. All other children were born in Victoria and remained there. In 1904 Eliza (his mother) died in Maryborough, Vic. and William is listed as being 50y.o. There are marr. & deaths recorded for William Price's in Vic. but they don't appear to be our William. He seems to have vanished so he possibly has moved interstate. As he was a miner, Kalgoorlie seemed a possibility and there is a death recorded for a William Price in 1905.(age 53 which ties in) at a Coolgardie Hospital but d.c. doesn't provide any clues. Hospital admission docs have been destroyed I believe. This William may not be him either.
Hope you can follow the story and any help greatly appreciated.
many thanks, 
Wendy
