Coroner's Inquest.
Sylvia Alice May Crispin was born in 1901 at Macksville, New South Wales, Australia, to parents Charles Crispin & Charlotte Florence Gill. She died in 1902. Below is a copy of the Registers of Coroners' Inquests, 1796 - 1942, for Sylvia (Thank you Ancestry.com.au!)
Date when held: April 2, 1902. Where held: Commercial Hotel, Nambucca. Date when received: April 8, 1902 Age: 9 Months Where born: Taylor's Arm, Macksville, NSW, Australia. Locality of Death: LS "Nambucca" on voyage from Sydney to Nambucca. Verdict: Natural causes, probably failure of the hearts action. Sylvia was my first cousin, 3 times removed. Poor little thing. After she died, her parents Charles & Charlotte had two more children before moving to Illinois, USA.
My first official video about my genealogy is up! Sorry it took so long :)

Great Genealogy News!
Firstly, findmypast.com.au are working with the NSW State Records to digitize and publish wills from NSW from 1800 to 1952. They will hopefully be online later this year. This is super news! My Australian side of the family comes from New South Wales, and I have no idea if any of my ancestors left wills. This will be a big help!
Check out the article from Gould Genealogy here. Secondly, the Queensland Birth Death Marriage registry now allows you to purchase a certificate and download it instantly! The digital copies are $20, while a full historical certificate (posted to you in the mail) is $28. This is going to make researching Queensland ancestry much more easier & convenient.
Gould Genealogy's article about it is here.
For me. there is only one ancestor of mine who lived in Queensland - my Great Great Grandfather David Gill. He grew up and married in NSW, but for some reason, his wife moved to & died in Victoria, while he moved to & died in Queensland. He died in 1922. I'd love to see if his death certificate has any clues. I went to order his death certificate moments ago, and it gave me this -
Historical Death Image unavailable? Whyy?! Oh well. I guess I'll wait a few days and check back then. If it's still unavailable, I'll order the certificate.
