Thankyou Neale1961.
How do I get the details of the inquest?
Carol

I think you need to apply through the NSW archives

[carol80]

I will send them an email and see if I can get any information but I am not a relative so will see if I can act on my friend's behalf.
Thank you
Carol

STEVENSON  HUGH MURRAY 12780/1958 BORN LISMORE DIED GOSFORD GOSFORD

[sparrett]

Most likely born in NZ, as you would already know, Hugh appears  on the 1958 NSW Electoral Roll living at 80 Uralba Lismore. No others of the same name there. A linotypist.

Before that, in 1954, he was at 290 Pt Chevalier Rd Grey Lynn Auckland New Zealand with family members. A linotypist.

This ad from 1954 suggests ( in that year anyway) , there were lodgings for boarders at 80 Uralba.
Seems to be for males only.

The distance to Gosford from Lismore is about 600  kilometers.
