Ada,

I have found out why there were two records with the same item/description
number. If there were two separate inquests held in the same year, one
for a male and the other female, the same title/description numbers were
used. When ordering the record online if you check the item description
page it will display the gender....you will then know which one to order. I
did view both inquests, one was male and the other female, one died in
Huntly, the other in Castlemaine, but both in the same year.

Jenny
