Good Evening

I am wondering if anyone can help with the details surrounding the Death of George Stark 22 November 1891 in Molong. George was a carpenter, he was married to a Margaret Smith Taylor born 1856 Scotland. Any information would be most gratefully received.

Regards

There is no death in the name of George STARK in NSW in 1891.

Is this what you mean?

STARK memorial headstone at East Calder (Saint Cuthbert) Church https://cs.billiongraves.com/grave/George-Stark/2940797
George STARK died at Molong NSW Australia 21st November 1891

which matches the NSW death 8338/1892 George STACK

Except that the registration of the indexed death  is after the start of 1892 and the surname is incorrect.

National Probate Index – Scotland  1893
STARK George 3 February – Confirmation of George Stark, Master Joiner, sometime residing at Avie Lodge, East Calder, afterwards Carpenter, Molong, Colony of New South Wales, who died 22 November 1891 at Molong aforesaid, intestate, granted at Edinburgh to Margaret Taylor or Stark, Avie Lodge, aforesaid, Executrix dative qua relict    Value of estate £116.9s.

I would suggest that the death was not registered until 1892 and has been mistranscribed.

I wonder if this is the same George.

If you search the NSW bdm's for a death for a George and no surname, date 21 Nov 1891 and district Molong.....this is the only result.  His death was registered a day prior to the death date shown on the probate entry.
