Barry, the thanks should be to John S, not me. I do hope that my memory is correct about children's names being on Aussie death certs.

Edit, just checked. The death cert will contain number of children., so you will definitely get that info. I am pretty sure that the one I have somewhere had their names and birth years as well. BUT I cannot find it to confirm.
Barry,
Just to complete the picture see the link below for info available on Aussie BMD certs. They may be twice the price, but they have more than twice the info.
Hi Barry
I got the information from here

Sorry for the delay in replying a storm blew my internet.
There is also a newspaper report here about the death of Douglas Rhodes in 1935 he died from tetanus and was 12 years old
