Daniel KILBY appears to be James KILBY's brother who died at Branxholme in 1891.
There is another interesting KILBY passenger record for a group depating Melbourne for New Zealand on the "Thomas Worthington" on 20 July 1854 with passengers including; Daniel Kilby (33), Mrs Kilby (31), James Kilby Snr (37), James Kilby Jnr (8).
James & Susan KILBY were in Melbourne and Branxholme where 11 children were born from 1854 to 1875 prior to having the butcher shop in Casterton in 1882.
