I doubt this is the correct John's death as his wife Margaret would have been well past child bearing years to have given birth to a dau c1900.  She was baptised in 1842.

I do find it strange that there are ten public trees alone on ancestry and no mention of John James's parents.  Surely one of the researchers would have purchased a marriage or death certificate.  Probably been copied from each other anyway.

It would have been helpful if the OP had been a little more forthcoming with information as we have no idea of what research she has done.

I can't identify either John or Margaret on the  NSW 1903 electoral roll.

It was John James and Margaret's son who died in 1913 according this person's research.  Perhaps John was known as James :-\

There are no John POLLOCK's deaths in the Moruya district so is it possible he was ill and placed in an institution.

POLLOCK John
