More Cornish who died in The Melbourne hospital 1867 - 1880.

For further details re the source of the info, explanation of codes and
names of other patients (as a lot may not have given their place of birth)
etc. see http://hub.dataline.net.au/~tfoen/meldeath.html

I have searched the Victorian BDM Indexes for any addition info and have
included that after each name.

It may be possible to find some of these among the List of Assisted British
Immigrants 1839 - 1871 on the PRO of Victoria's website

Kindest Regards ...... Corinne in Melbourne, Australia.
