Well I think you may need to obtain actual documents rather than just rely on indexes. Ancestry and other commercial websites have indexes which are compiled by mixing indexes from many sources all in together, so some 'data fields' are dropped or mangled or simply not displayed at all. And I suspect that some of those commercial websites have obtained some of their indexes without considering that some are not even based on 'official records'.
I added to an earlier post, so perhaps I should add it here again .... this is what you can find on official records from Vic BDM
...
The free to search online index of Victoria's deaths has
Maria KING's death at age 54, and registration as ref 4679/1879
It includes 'Place of Birth" and lists that as Liverpool.
It has her parents as Maria (unknown maiden surname) and William EVERETT
Info on VIC BDMs is usually very detailed... See the following thread:
https://www.bdm.vic.gov.au/research-and-family-history/search-your-family-history
NB Liverpool may refer to Liverpool NSW or to the one in the UK....
