This is interesting, so this narrows down his death.

Thanks for the replies people. Yes, indeed, a load of Jersey Janvrin family were big fishing/ shipping merchants and one side of the family were the big players in and around Nova Scotia, so much so that an island took the name. Daniel I believe was more in the banking arm of the family. There was a banking crash in 1870/ 1880s ish in Jersey and may explain the move to Oz.

Order a copy of the file as it will no doubt show his date & place of death - wherever it may have been  :)

Thanks, most helpful. Frustratingly not searchable in ancestry.
