The fact that the inscription on the tombstone says Father and Mother, gives support for your contentions. Good luck with it all.

Hi Bob, Ray is absolutely right. I found two people in the same unmarked grave (mother and infant son) with different death dates by going to the Rookwood Anglican Church office. They did a check for me and were able to give me six more family members in unmarked graves from their records. All denominations keep their records at Rookwood so it is worth checking with them as well as looking at a Rookwood CD which is in a lot of libraries. Good luck, Julia in Bulli -----Original Message----- From: aus-nsw-se-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-nsw-se-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ray Sent: Sunday, 25 March 2007 1:20 AM To: aus-nsw-se@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NSW-SE] Leslight Marriage And howdy once more Bob.
