For “Residence” 1974 of John Albert Stiller
STILLER | John Albert | Death notice | 29APR1974 | Death | 73 | late of Matraville | Sydney Morning Herald | 30APR1974
Residence at death. The NSW death index row 3594/1974 gives only district code 001, so this is the only place evidence for the end of his life.

For “Died” 12 NOV 1911 of Wenzel Grenenger
Wenzel GRENENGER | DEAT | 12NOV1911 | 78 | late of Burwood
Birth c.1833 derived from the age. The Braidwood/Burwood Grenengers descend from him. CORRECTION (2026-09-07): the Wenzel Grenenger writing home from Masumba Wa Nkasi and Deda, Central Angoniland, British Central Africa in 1903-06 was NOT this man's son but his nephew - the Braidwood Dispatch of 10 March 1944 has him educated at Braidwood public school and staying in South Africa after the Boer War, and James Ernest Grenenger's 1918 obituary says 'another son is in South Africa'. The Braidwood Dispatch of 8 December 1950 reports the death of 'Mr. W. A. Grenenger, of Nyassaland'. Wenzel's own son Wenzel Edward B (#82915) died an infant in March 1874.

For “Died” 2 MAR 1859 of Mary Cook
Mary SAVILLE | DEAT | 02MAR1859 | 50 | at Lansdowne, Manning River
The Ryerson Index row, quoted in its column order: name, notice type, date, age, locality. Ryerson indexes Australian newspaper death, funeral, probate and obituary NOTICES; the row is the index entry, not the notice text. The date matches the Lansdowne plaque ('HIS WIFE MARY / DIED 2 3 1859') and the cemetery transcription exactly, and the locality names the place of death, which no source read before this one gave. The age of 50 gives a birth about 1809. Quality 2: a newspaper notice is a report of the death, not the registration of it, and the informant is unknown.

For “Died” 3 NOV 1927 of Julia Collins
Julia SULLIVAN | DEAT | 03NOV1927 | 81 | at Willoughby
Ryerson Index row: surname, notice type, date, age and place as printed in the newspaper notice. The age of 81 is the index's reading of "in her 82nd year".

For “Buried” 1859 of Mary Cook
Mary SAVILLE | DEAT | 02MAR1859 | 50 | at Lansdowne, Manning River
Cited on the burial as well, because the notice locates the death at Lansdowne, which is where she was buried; the two together are why the burial and the death now carry the same place.

For “Died” 15 NOV 1960 of Edith May Sullivan
Edith May SULLIVAN | DEAT | 15NOV1960 | late of Enfield
Ryerson Index row: surname, notice type, date and the place as printed in the newspaper notice. Same name in full, same year and the family's own suburb as the NSW registration in the Burwood district, so the two rows are one woman and the day of death is taken from here. Ryerson gives no age, so no birth year is entered.

For “Residence” 1960 of Edith May Sullivan
Edith May SULLIVAN | DEAT | 15NOV1960 | late of Enfield
Ryerson Index row. "Late of" in a death notice is the residence, not the place of death, which is why this is a residence and the death event carries no place.

William Cross TEMPERLEY | DEAT | 01JAN1963 | 79 | late of Canterbury

For “Died” 11 AUG 1956 of Harold Hampton Tydeman
TYDEMAN | Harold Hampden | Death notice | 11AUG1956 | Death | 77 | late of Fairfield | Sydney Morning Herald | 13AUG1956
Ryerson Index row (genealogy-cli ryerson command over ryersonindex.org, re-fetched this session), columns: Surname | Given name(s) | Notice type | Notice date | Event type | Age | Locality | Newspaper | Newspaper publication date. A 'Death notice' (not a funeral notice), so the dated column is treated as his actual death date, giving day/month precision beyond the civil registration's year. Age 77 implies b. ABT 1879. Also attests his OWN name as 'Harold Hampden' (contra 'Harold Hampton' on the civil registration and 'Howard Hampton' on a son's registration below) -- added as an aka name.

For “Died” 14 FEB 1961 of Frances Rose Tydeman
TYDEMAN | Frances Rose | Death notice | 14FEB1961 | Death | 77 | late of Fairfield | Sydney Morning Herald | 15FEB1961
Ryerson Index row, re-fetched this session, same columns as above. Death notice giving day/month precision; age 77 implies b. ABT 1884, a plausible contemporary of husband Harold (b. ABT 1879 per his own Ryerson row). Residence 'late of Fairfield' differs from the Auburn registration district -- a residence-vs-registration-office difference, not a contradiction; both are retained (placeId uses the registration district).

For “Died” 15 OCT 1973 of Hector Tydeman
TYDEMAN | Hector (Tim) | Death notice | 15OCT1973 | Death | | late of Fairfield | Sydney Morning Herald | 17OCT1973 || TYDEMAN | Hector (Tim) | Death notice | 15OCT1973 | Death | | late of Fairfield | Daily Telegraph (Sydney) | 17OCT1973 || TYDEMAN | Hector (Tim) | Funeral notice | 18OCT1973 | Funeral | | late of Fairfield | Daily Telegraph (Sydney) | 17OCT1973
Ryerson Index, three rows for the same man merged into one raw (same source/subject), re-fetched fresh this session and confirmed byte-for-byte, columns: Surname | Given name(s) | Notice type | Notice date | Event type | Age | Locality | Newspaper | Newspaper publication date. Two independent papers (Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph) both give a 15 Oct 1973 death notice, and the Daily Telegraph also carried an 18 Oct 1973 funeral notice -- corroborating the death date. Both papers also attest the nickname 'Tim', added as an aka.
