PUBLISHED IN THE MOUNT ALEXANDER MAIL 07 DEC 1855. William was the youngest brother and it's likely that he and Daniel headed for the Victorian goldfields after Daniel's release from jail. No evidence of their travel has been discovered but William did return home as he married in 1864.

Death January 9, 1857 (aged 27 years) Age: 28

Address: Golden Point, Forest Creek, Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia
Cause of death: Consequences of stabbing on 27th Dec 1856
Burial
Address: On Forest Creek Goldfield between Castlemaine and Chewton. A goldfields cemetery primarily filled with children who died from lack of clean drinking water and disease. The gold output was not great, hence the name. The record of burial appears on findagrave. It is also in an 1988 book, The Pennyweight Kids by A R McMillan which includes a collation of records resulting in lists of burials. Danial Vick's is among the list of possible burials.
