Early Goldfields Deaths 1894-1895 Registered in the Yilgarn District (Southern Cross) but died elsewhere.
In the early days of the Western Australian Goldfields it took a number of years for Registrars to be appointed to the new towns as they were established. Southern Cross was the nearest point for the registration of any Birth Death or Marriage registration until offices were set up in each town. The next to be appointed was Coolgardie in 1896.
Some names on the is list will be duplicated elsewhere on this site but it is valuable to know that even if a death is registered as ‘Yilgarn’ ,eg, Southern Cross it still may have occurred some distance away and some time may have elapsed for someone to be able to submit the information to the Registrar.

Thanks Moya – I always wonder when visiting an old cemetery how the people died.
I am currently assisting my mother in compiling the Old Onslow Cemetery records including reason for death. She started the initial booklet (available at Onslow Goods Shed Museum) over 20 yrs ago. Now in her 90th year she has decided “this is the year to get it completed and published”.
Hi Jo.
Thats a great effort, tell her well done.
