Hello List Just joined this list tonight. I am searching for a Robert Miles, b 1945 Parramatta NSW. I don't have very much info on this man. I do know that he is reported to have died in a motor bike accident about 1965/66 in New South Wales. Perhaps this could ring a bell with any MILES family researchers. Can anyone tell me how I would find his birth and death certificates. Sorry this is a bit vague, but I simply have no further details on this man. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Regards to you all Maria Brisbane

Hi Barbara, I visited Rookwood last week and asked the same question. It is the portion of the cemetery where paupers or people who didn't have enough money to pay for a burial are located. It is mostly grassed with bushes and plants in some places - like a garden. Generally there are no gravestones or marked areas where the graves are. However, some people have erected their own makeshift memorials which I am told isn't allowed unless there has been permission (and a fee) and they are taken down from time to time. You can check the row numbers as most are marked with a timber stake. Sometimes they are hard to read because they are weathered and the handwritten numbers have faded but you can pace out the plots and work out where someone would be in some cases. If you call Rookwood cemetery, the Anglican office will send you a map and show you where the MM section is. Maybe the other denominations have a similar service but I am not sure.

A photo of Mary Agnes BECK's grave would be fantastic! If she has a head stone mum would be absolutely excited! Another member found a burial record for a George BICK Dec 31st 1889 which sounds like my Great Great Grandfather. Apparently it was a public grave in Section MM. However, what is a public grave??

Hi, I was wondering if anyone was tracing the surname AH YET or AHYET. One in particular is a Tammy or Tommy AH YET or AHYET. He married a Mary Ellen Mable KENNEDY in 1884 Cooma, NSW. This is not my tree, but one of a visitor to my site. I'm sending this to the Victorian list also, because I noticed this surname in Victoria, especially the goldfields. Kind regards Julie Clift nee: Renton Tracking Our Family Footsteps through Time in Australia http://www.angelfire.com/ns/aust/
