I just took these on as a challenge with the Vic Death indexes 1921-1985,
and got zilch!

Cannot get deaths for the WHITE or BRIGGS family - or any children.

The only possible is this:

Surname: JONES
Given Names: John Ebenezer
Father: Jones Thos
Mother: Martha LEWIS
Death Place: FLEM (ie Flemington, Melb suburb)
Age: 74
Age Code:
Year: 1948
Reg Number: 6156
Event: D

I don't know if anyone else can come up with any other possibilities????
Maybe the next generation all lived beyond 1985???? Bit unlikely. None of
their children appear to be there either.
