Dear Bill, Many thanks for getting back to me about this: I have to confess I'd forgotten all about it! I've searched the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park site, but there's no record of any O'Reillys being buried there (or even Gosling, her maiden name) - although there are about a dozen or so who have been cremated, but none of them belong to the O'Reilly clan I'm interested in, so it's still a bit of a mystery where she is. What I will do is email the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park direct and see if they can shed any light on where Rose can be. I'll let you know what response I get from them. I've yet to find any trace of the other O'Reillys, they all seem to be keeping their heads down for some reason! Thanks again for remembering about this; if I can't find her or any others in the family, I may yet find myself out there for a holiday! Best regards, Phil

Dear Philip, Some time ago, many months in fact you asked where Rose O"REILLY was buried. It is some time since I had a day out researching but yesterday I looked at her death and funeral notices in the SMH as it was on my list. Her funeral was from St. Michael's Church DACEYVILLE to the BOTANY Roman Catholic Cemetery on Tuesday 15 Aug 1989. I think I suggested at the time that Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park, which is on line, was the most likely cemetery. That is the new name for the old Botany Cemetery, which is not at Botany, it is at MATRAVILLE. Hope this helps.

Hello again Marg, Thank you for that extra little snippet. Arthur Joseph Williamson died in 1943, according to the index. District is given as Sydney.

Hi Listers, Can any Lister direct me to an index or details of admissions to the Parramatta Female orphan School 1835-1840?

Hello Listers, I would like to contact anyone connected to my Hinchcliff family. I have Andrew HINCHCLIFF who was born c1824 at Morley, Yorkshire he married Elizabeth Davis. Their son John HINCHCLIFF b? married Laura Ann GRIFFITS in 1871 at Redfern. Laura was the daughter of Henry GRIFFITS and Elizabeth NORTON and she was born c1850 at Buckinghampshire, England. John was Mayor of Strathfield in 1890 and 1892. John and his father Andrew were wool brokers in Young Street, Sydney. In 1887 John built "Mount Royal" and he died there in 1895. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Jan Senior

Hello Marg, Thank you for your reply. Alexander was born in Greymouth, New Zealand in 1899 and I think the family moved to Sydney about 1901. The BMD index entry I saw gives his death as 1955, district Ashfield. I will be sending for the registration details to confirm that he is the correct person, although I feel sure he is as the parents' names on the index match. Can you tell me how to go about getting the probate record, please? This is my first foray into researching in New South Wales.

Hello Di, Thank you for your reply. According to the BDM indexes, Alexander Williamson died in 1955. The parents' names on the index match with what I already know. He would have been 56 years of age. I will be sending for the registration to confirm that. At this stage, I don't know whether he was married or not.

Good evening list, I have just received a copy of the death registration for my gt aunt, Clara WILLIAMSON. She died 13 November 1932 at her residence, 33 Murray Street Croyden, in the municipality of Burwood and was buried in the Church of England Cemetery, Rookwood. I would like to know if there headstone inscriptions available for this cemetery, or if anyone could have a look for me and maybe photograph any headstone that might be there. It seems that Clara had only one son, Alexander, who was an architect in Sydney. It's also possible that he never married, but until I send for his death reg, I won't know. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family, please? Many thanks for your time Ailsa Petrie Hamilton New Zealand
