Census_1859YorkJohn Clark 556 appeared on the 1859 York census at York, Western Australia, on the premises of Thomas Robins.2 
Research A number of descendants on Ancestry have him dying 9.5.1871 or 10.5.1871 in Beverley aged 44.

There are two deaths registered to two John Clarks in the York district in 1871. Reg 4968 aged 58 and reg 4969 aged 52. Jan James only has the latter one in her York Deaths 1842 - 1935 and York Burials 1843 - 1935. Curiously Jan's list has the death occurring 9.5.1871.

I'm not convinced that enough is known to allocate that death to #556.
