Hi Keith, et al, A trip to Windsor Library would answer all your questions, and more, as there are probably other cemeteries which are not covered here. Some I know of but others not, so you will need to do some follow up !! Providing you live within a reasonable distance ? the best way to "get a feel" is to grab some local maps and/or a good street directory, jump in the car and do a cemetery crawl :) There are also a number of small private (family) cemeteries in and around the Hawkesbury, and some various church and lone graves. I have cut and pasted the ones you queried, leaving the others as per your original post ..... > General Cemetery - /, Maroota > General Cemetery - Sackville Ferry Rd, Sackville North These are one and the same and it is actually known (today) as Sackville Cemetery, on Sackville Ferry Road, Sackville (North). Dedicated on 2nd December, 1899. Not a big one and under the care of Baulkham Hills Shire Council http://members.optushome.com.au/dianep/sackvillenorth.htm > St Thomas's CE Cemetery - Tizzana Road, Sackville http://members.optushome.com.au/dianep/sackvillereach.htm or http://www.hawkesbury.net.au/cemetery/st_thomas/index.html > Old Methodist Church Cemetery - Chapel Hill Rd, Sackville http://members.optushome.com.au/dianep/sackvilleold.htm > Presbyterian Cemetery - /, Pitt Town > Pitt Town Cemetery - Avondale Road, Pitt Town The top one you refer to is the one on Old Stock Route Road, Pitt Town, bounded by Avondale Road and adjoining Scheyville National Park. It is only small http://members.optushome.com.au/dianep/oldstockroute.htm The other one at Pitt Town is St. James Anglican Church Cemetery and it is located on Old Pitt Town Road > Wesleyan Cemetery - /, McGraths Hill High Street/Charles Street, McGraths Hill http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/cemeterytour/ (sponsored site with pop up ads) > St Albans General Cemetery - /, St Albans > St Albans Old General Cemetery - /, St Albans The old one is on Settler's Road, before you actually reach St. Albans. The new one is past the St. Albans township, but not sure ? if this is still called the Settlers Road > Laughtondale Cemetery - /, Wisemans Ferry Wisemans Ferry (Laughtondale) Cemetery Singleton Road, Laughtondale > MacDonalds River Cemetery - /, MacDonalds River General Cemetery, Macdonald River, also known as Jurds Private Cemetery. Settler's Road, Central Macdonald http://members.optushome.com.au/dianep/jurds.htm There is also the old St. Joseph's (Catholic) Cemetery, and a couple of graves at St. Judes Church, at Central Macdonald > Cemetery - /, Londonderry Londonderry Road, Londonderry > Richmond Lawn Cemetery - Dight Street, Richmond There is also the old Presbyterian cemetery on Jersey St at Richmond (just up the road from the Lawn Cemetery) > Presbyterian Cemetery - /, Windsor Church Street, Windsor (near the railway line) > Lower Portland General Cemetery - /, Lower Portland There is a fairly large cemetery on West Portland Road. According to Johnson and Sainty in their book Sydney Burial Ground 1819-1901, there was/is ? one called St. Roses c.1840, Half Moon Reach, Lower Portland Head The following are only a *maybe* ..... so do follow up !! > RC Cemetery - /, Sackville Reach Don't know this one, but that's not to say there isn't one :) > Methodist Cemetery - /, Kurmond A small private one on Comleroy Road, Kurmond > St Gregory's RC Cemetery - /, Kurrajong St. Gregory's Church is on Grose Vale Road/Line of Road. Don't know about the cemetery .... > Upper Colo Cemetery - /, Colo This is a small church and graveyard on Comleroy Road > Belmont Park Cemetery - /, North Richmond There is the Archibald BELL grave off Grose Vale Road, but don't know if this is the one you mean > St Stephen's CE Cemetery - /, Kurrajong St. Stephen's Church is on Willow Glen Road (off Grose Vale Road). Don't know about the cemetery ... Others I know of include : St. Johns, Wilberforce Holy Trinity, Spencer Our Lady of Loreto (Catholic), Upper/Higher Macdonald Bailey Family (private), St. Albans Chaseling Family (private), Knights Retreat * Brown Family Cemetery, River Road, Lower Portland * William Daley's Grave, Cattai * Private burial ground, Cattai (The above * three are under Baulkham Hills Shire Council) I thought I read once of one at Leet's Vale (possibly a family one) but as I can't find the reference I'm not sure And there are probably others as well ....

I am trying to help a friend find the birth place, date and parents of her ancestor Henry BROWN who married Elizabeth Agnes PARTON in Sydney in 1872 Ref. No. 372. Henry's marriage certificate gives no details of his parents but lists his birthplace as Maitland. His death certificate says birthplace Morpeth. I can't find an obvious entry in the 184 Henry BROWNs listed on the NSW Pioneer CD and seek the help of this list. I would love to hear from anyone who has a connection or can point me in the right direction for further research. My friend is quite happy to exchange info.

List address aside Robert (like it or lump it), new subscribers who may be unfamiliar with mailing lists often confuse the subscribe/unsubscribe address with the mailing list address. It happens all the time, not only with this list but others as well. Part of the job description means forwarding them on.

Hi Rod, Many thanks for the info about poor Mr Drinkwater - it's great to have the exact date of death. According to the BDMs Edward Joseph DRINKWATER died at Windsor in 1892 so this is probably the same person. Good to see that the community rallied to help his poor widow and children :-) I'll have a look for a death notice in the Sydney papers now that I've got a death date - I could get lucky - but I think I will have to bite the bullet and get a transcription of his marriage certificate to find out his parents.

Dear Jan, Can't help with the parents of Edward DRINKWATER, but while checking entries for the index to the Windsor & Richmond Gazette, (which is not yet published) there is an entry for Mr Drinkwater in for 7 May, 1892 on page 4 column 4 that reads... Sudden Death at Rouse Hill A man named Drinkwater died on Tuesday at Rouse Hill, near Windsor, under peculiar circumstances. Whilst eating a piece of meat one day last week some hard substance like bone scratched the throat. He felt slight pain, but took very little notice.The throat got worse, however, and Mr. Law, chemist, advised him to get medical advice, but this was of no avail, as he gradually sank and died. There are several other entries for Mrs Drinkwater, .... A concert in aid of the bereaved wife of the late Mr. Drinkwater, Rouse Hill, will be held there shortly. There is also a Return Thanks from Mrs. Drinkwater for the support given by the public for her benefit and a full description of the concert, but nothing that identifies if the Mr and Mrs Drinkwater are your group and nothing that sheds light on their Christian names let alone his parents. We just thought we would mention it anyway, just in case it leads you somewhere, maybe a check in the Parramatta newspaper of the time could be worth a look.

Hi all, Does anyone have any DRINKWATERS at Windsor in their research? Edward Joseph DRINKWATER married Emma MAULSBURY in Sydney in 1873. They had at least 8 children, the first five born at Ryde, the last three born in the Windsor area - Arthur in 1883, Elsie in 1886 and Alfred J. bonr 1888 Edward died in 1892 in Windsor. Unfortunately his parents are not listed in the death index. I haven't bought his marriage certificate yet - I am trying to find out his parents' names as I am hoping he is the son of William DRINKWATER and Jane HANNON who married in Hobart in 1840. His brother William settled in Grafton. Snatching at straws, I know :-) but there's no sign of him in Tasmania or Victoria. Cheers Jan
