This death doesn't quite stack up against the rootweb link you posted Chris, wonder if they got it wrong - the age looks right:

Ephraim Ryles
Death Place: Willenabrina, Victoria
Age: 86
Father's Name: Ryles Ephraim
Mother's Name: Margt Newcastle
Registration Year: 1897
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration number: 10888
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1811

Not sure about that death Chris, with no ages given not easy. However, there is an Isabella Lackenby living Biker, Newcastle with husband Thomas in 1851 and she was born 1795 so if the death is her she is too young.

Hi Chris and Ann. I have looked more closely at the information you have found. Firstly, the 1841 census would be right as the death records for all the children mentioned in this census occur in Australia which would be correct. For Catherine - looking at the 1841 census plus her death record put her year of birth at 1812 not 1808.
This rules out Joseph Saunders & Isabella Turner being her correct parents which supports the death record of a young Catherine Saunders from these 2 parents.
All Australian records support Catherine's maiden name to be Saunders or Sanders.

The death record that Flip posted for Ephraim Ryles would be correct as the place of death ties in with where some of his children were living at the time. I assumed that the mother's name of Margaret Newcastle had somehow been mixed up with a place of birth (Newcastle on Tyne) and her correct name was Margaret Wright as reflected in Ephraim's baptism record.
