Hi List, In 1860 my GGG grandmother was buried in Sydney in the "CATHOLIC CEMETERY". She lived at Chippendale so could this be the Catholic section of the Sandhills or Devonshire St. Cemetery? Or would there have been a cemetery attached to St. Benedicts? I have tried several times with email enquiries to the Catholic Cemeteries Board but they do not respond. If the burial was at Devonshire St any remains would have been removed to another location when Central Railway Station was constructed. Is there any directory as to where individual remains may have been reinterred? Cheers Peter Melbourne
