Hello Anne, Thanks for that info, but I am surprised there is no record of Cue on the Wang. Cemetry cd. because I have visited the grave of my great grandfather Ah CUE who is definitely buried there. It is possible that his son Henry Cue went to China (or interstate) and died there, but he was not full blooded Chinese, having been born in Wangaratta in 1889. I know he was alive in 1926 at the time of his mother's death but that is the last record of him. I believe he never married which makes it all the more difficult to find him. Thanks again Anne, I will bear your suggestion in mind.

Hi Barry, I find this most curious as I checked both the burial register and the Memorials Index on the Wangaratta Cemetery CD and could find no mention of Cue. I'm not saying your great grandfather is not buried at Wang - seems to me there's a problem with the info on the cd.
