Newspaper report of Death: "NEWS AND NOTES. On Saturday, at the City of York Hotel, Ballarat, Dr. Clendinning held an inquest on the body of John Allaway, whose death, according to the evidence and the verdict of the jury, took place on Thursday instant, in his own house, Mopoke Gully, Ballarat, and arose from natural causes, being caused by extensive inflammation and mortification of the small intestines, arising from a strangulated inguinal hernia of the left side. The deceased was a native of Gloucestershire, a married man, with a wife and family, and fifty-three years' of age. His parents names were Jacob and Elizabeth Allaway. He was ruptured when fifteen years of age, but never wore a regular truss except of his own making. His health was good until last Christmas, when owing to a portion of some building having fallen upon him, the rupture increased, and his health declined rapidly" [2] Trove online newspaper article: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/72517202?searchTerm=John%20Allaway#
