Melbourne Hospital Deaths 1867 - 1880

Found this site by accident, what is interesting is that it mentions the origin of birth (most UK)  and the ship that they arrived on too. An example entry:

"George Whistler, labourer, aged 41, native of Hampshire; arrived in 1872, by the Tararua, from New Zealand; died October 8 [1872], of cancer of breast."

During the years 1867 to 1880, the Melbourne (Australia) ARGUS newspaper printed monthly lists of deaths that occurred at the Melbourne Hospital, in the state of Victoria, Australia. These lists included mainly residents of the colony, as well as visitors to Melbourne at the time of their deaths. Most of the names in the lists are of foreign born residents or visitors. Each entry includes, in the majority of cases, names, aliases (if any), age, nativity, date of arrival in the colony, vessel arrived on, date of death and cause of death.

Hi Trystan

The link on this posting does not appear to take me to your suggested  context. Could you check it please as I would love to peruse it.

Cheers

Val,

it does work, just checked it:

.... names in the lists are of foreign born residents or visitors. Each entry includes, in the majority of cases, names, aliases (if any), age, nativity, date of arrival in the colony, vessel arrived on, date of death and cause of death. Beginning in late 1997, I commenced compiling and printing these lists, arranged alphabetically, and in two-year lots....
