Dear Geraldine, Is it possible that there is a grave for my G/father - Arkles William POPE sometime after 1920. I cannot find anything on him at all after this time.

Hi Deborah Searched the QLD Electoral Roll for 1900, but no result. I did find a William Fisher resident in Emu Creek 1884 if that is any help. Have you your grandfather's marriage certificate? It would show occupation. This extract is from "Pioneers' Country" by Glenville Pike. "In Dec 1897 the QLD Govt. gave the Chillagoe Co. approval to construct the railway...the Co rushed ahead to erect smelters and develop its leases but spent too little time and money on prospecting and testing. The report that half a million tons of ore estimated to yield 17,000 tons of copper, 1500 tons of lead and a million ounces of silver lay waiting, caused a boom on the Southern stock exchanges and a rush of men and their families to Chillagoe. Within a matter of months there was a bustling township among the craggy limestone bluffs on the bank of the permanately flowing Station Creek....The railway was completed in 1901" Hope this helps, Judy - for Cairns Historical Society.. > My grandfather was married in Chillagoe in 1908, under the name of George > Cunningham FISHER, aged 25.

I would encourage everyone who is recording lone graves, to forward a copy of the information to the Qld Family History Society. They have a 'lone grave' collection for the whole state, which makes finding an entry much easier if you don't know *where* someone's headstone might be. Contact <[email protected]>.

This search for John MAHER is driving me to distraction! Does anyone know if the cemetery at Cumberland has any extant headstones? [Cumberland was a gold mining area about 20 miles from Georgetown, Qld] My John MAHER was working as a bushman on Green Hills Station [Cumberland] when he died on 17 June 1887. Apart from the fact that his death certificate states that he was born in West Maitland, NSW, there is little or nothing else to give any connections. There are many MAHER families from Maitland, however all seem to have their full component of family members accounted for! Has anyone a claim to this John MAHER buried at Cumberland N Qld?

Just a note to say hello to all! Have been away working and have lost contact with many of you. Hope all is well with you and yours. Still seeking my VINCENT connections, and although this location is a little south-west of north, I hope someone may have some information about this fellow. There is a "Blazed Tree" on the site of the Queensland 1891 Barcaldine Shearer's Strike camp. I have been given information that the name "W. VINCENT" is emblazoned into the trunk of a tree. Does anyone know this "W. VINCENT"? Possibly one of the shearer's? PS - Barcaldine is way west of Rockhampton and east of Longreach, in Queensland.
