Notes
James Lawrence Taupin lived for only two months, before passing away in Armadale on 28 December 1906. He was buried the following day on 29 December in the Anglican section of Kelmscott Public Cemetery.
Young James' father, Laurence Taupin of Collie, had been left widowed after the death of his wife Gertrude on 14 November 1906, only a few weeks after James' birth at Collie hospital.
Gertude Taupin was 34 when she died. Her parents (James Taupin's maternal grandparents) were Matilda and James Oldfield of Doodlakine. Gertrude had a sister in Armadale (Mrs Gouldthourp) which may explain why James was buried at Kelmscott Cemetery.
