Would some kind person with worldwide ancestry membership be able to look up the death of a William Boston in Australia...Not sure what part of Australia but he was born in 1824 in Suffolk, UK...

Thank you

If he's the one who was the son of Shadrach then there's a tree on Ancestry with quite a lot of info and a photo of the grave .....

Jules, there was more than one William Boston that died in Australia and the records (as you can see from the above) don't always give the age at death.

What else can you tell us about your William?

Jules, if you're not a member of Ancestry then you can possibly see that tree I mentioned on their free spin-off site Mundia http://www.mundia.com/gb/
