Thanks , I have this info on James Milligan. The James that belongs to the Milligan Purdeet family are saying they have his death in Castlemaine the same as my James.
I have a letter from the Benevolent Society to say he was from Mildura so I am convinced that he he is my James but would like some proof that he is one and the same.

The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : Fri 27 Jan 1922

Mr. Barton Milligan, an octogenarian,
missed from the home of his daughter, Mrs. C.
Coombes, on Tuesday evening. Search parties were
sent out and the old man was found on Wednesday
morning near Koorlong, seven miles away. He
was much exhausted. He has shown evidence of
lack of memory lately, and apparently had for-
gotten where he lived. He is little the worse for
his adventure.

Thank you for your response , they were married after James birth, if its the same one, which I am 80% sure.
Yes Castlemaine is in Vic and its him for certain as it has Mildura on the certificate.
It is a bit confusing when names are similar. I have no idea where James was living before he came to Wentworth and Mildura. Thanks again.

There is only 1 death for a 'James Milligan' in 1923. That's if I'm right thinking Castlemaine is in Victoria
