Robert, it appears as though their website must be down for maintenance. I regularly use it as a registered member and tonight is the first time I have had trouble. There is now a message saying "Access temporarily unavailable and we apologise for the inconvenience". I also note that Eastern Suburbs Cemetery are doing maintenance and updating on their website as well. So perhaps you might have to wait a while for your answers. Sorry hope this helps. P.S. I am not associated with the cemetery - just another searcher. Good Luck. Tracey. I've visited the Rookwood Cemetery site a couple of times now and had to register etc, but I don't seem to be able to get past that point to search? Regards; Robert KEMSLEY Please remember to snip most of the earlier message before you post any reply......

Does anyone else regularly used this site and how do they fare with searching Rookwood? Regards; Robert KEMSLEY

Good evening Marg in Sunny Alberta, Canada; It would seem that I didn't thank you for the favour you did me (Wed 3 Nov) in using up some of your credits to seek out information from findmypast re my WALTON'S in the Shipping Records, for which I am ever so very grateful and I found most interesting. Please accept my sincere apologies and once again; thank you ever so very ,much. Kindest Regards; Robert KEMSLEY.

Dear Faith, The Death records that appear like that indicates that the parents were unknown to the informant therefore not recorded. You can get a transcript which is cheaper, and often quicker than the registry. There are three agents on the website. I use www.marbract.com.au and have found Marilyn very good, as I believe the others are too. Maybe she changed to www.transcriptions.com.au over recent months. You will get more information in that the date of death, cause of death, place of burial/cremation will all be recorded. Parents (if known) and also marriages along with children, name and age, with numbers of any deceased children. I can't help with the Electoral Rolls other than you really need to know the Division and Sub-Division back in those times, and if they moved, it was often difficult to find them again. Defence people have a habit of being transferred interstate also. Have you checked the NSW Probate Index to see if they left a will, or had assets to leave? Papers for Probate Packets will be found at State Records, Kingswood. If you are not familiar with them on www.records.nsw.gov.au you will find a help sheet, called Archives in Brief No. 84. There is a later one too, which is about number 119.

Hi all I have someone born in Australia N.S.W 1913 died 1952 was in the Navy from about 1935 to 1948 I can not find them on the electoral rolls is this normal for people in the forces ????????? I have found his brother who was not in the forces. Also can some one tell me when you do an online search of the NSW birth deaths site if it brings up the name and age that some one died like this 13558/1912 RALPH THOMAS 73 YRS WOONONA WOONONA If you order the certf. will there be more info on it ?????? I can not find were he was born and who were is mother and father were. I have his marrage certf. that has nothing on it and depending on which site you go to online he has different mother and father listed. Thanks for your help Faith

Faith, If your man was not in the country he would not be on the Roll's The death that you have found! 13558/1912 is the reg number and the year..his name..age..and the place he died! Take a look at this site http://www.jaunay.com/bmd.html it gives info for each state and what is on for the relevant years. Depending on where your looking and if the information has been verified/confirmed which is quite a bug bare as a lot of people are not confirming their "own" work and just putting up what they have been given.

Dear Jo, Further to my message this morning. Half asleep I calculated incorrectly. The death is outside the restricted period. I was on my way out the door to State Records when I replied this morning so jotted down the details. Records for Rookwood Asylum are not too many, but the book that could have contained details, is not one that can be issued for the use of Readers as it runs into the restricted period. The Archivist looked and there is no James Kennedy SLOANE therein. Sincerely, Bill > > This is a query about the Rookwood Asylum.

Hello list, I too would like a birth look up from the CD please It is of Millicent Smith born about 1912 to parents William and Ruby Smith of Glebe. Regards Max Bancroft

Dear all This is a query about the Rookwood Asylum. I wondered if anyone had access to the admissions register for the Asylum. I have a James Kennedy Sloane dying there on the 25th June 1897. On his death cert it states he was buried in the Presbyterian part of Rookwood cemetery but i have not been able to find him at the cemetery. I am wanting to find out where he was in NSW before being admitted to the Asylum. He was a Miner and a publican here in New Zealand until 1884 and also earlier on in Heathcote, Victoria. The years of his life from 1884 to 1897 still elude me. Cheers Jo

Dear Jo, On www.records.nsw.gov.au there is an Archives in Brief ( four page Help Sheet) dealing with Asylums. There is a 120 year restriction on access to records. If you can prove, by way of certificates, that you are directly related to the inmate you can get access by application to the Health Department. On that approval will have to be the name of a person who you want to look at the records for you in view of where you live, unless you are coming here yourself. You may well find that he was in there as someone who was simply old, and unable to care for himself. Also I think that Asylum was probably what was later to become known as Lidcombe Old Men's Home on Rookwood Road, now Forensic Science establishment.

Hi everyone I am new to the list and researching Frederick Thomas who married Ellen (Nellie) Louise Allworthy Allen on December 29, 1883 at Balmain, NSW. I have found that they had at least three children, Elizabeth Ida born 1885, Balmain, Frederick Hugh Harries born 1886, Balmain and Henry G.H. born 1889, Balmain who died 1892 in Balmain. Elizabeth Ida died 1965 in Burwood, NSW and Frederick Hugh Harries died 1961 in Sydney. Frederick the father died 1934 in Drummoyne and Ellen died 1933 in Drummoyne. I would love to hear from anyone that might have information on this family. Wendy Main Ontario, Canada

Could someone please look up a birth for me from the CD for post 1909 births. I am looking for Marjorie Genevieve GLENNAN/Glennon born about 1910/11. Mother's name is probably Margaret. There may not be a father listed. I'm interested to see if there is a second name or initial for the mother and also where the birth occurred. Many thanks, Jenny [Brisbane]
