Hi Margaret, Back then it could have been the Old Melbourne which is now knows as Flagstaff Gardens of what is now Queen Victoria Markets, so if this is the case he could have been moved to Falkner or the new Melbourne General Cemetery. Just my thought but I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will correct me.
