Hi Bill, Thanks for the reply. It appears that there is a transcription of a simple headstone for Clarendon and Edith, but perhaps not quite the gleaming white polished marble edifice in a well-kept graveyard that I was imagining ! In any event, if anyone does get the chance to find the last resting place of my relatives, it would be greatly appreciated. If it turns out to require an Indiana Jones exploration to track it down, then please don't spend unnecessary time on my behalf ! Best wishes, Mike Gould Leicestershire -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Sent: 16 February 2011 20:19 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ANS] Photo request - Old Wesleyan section of Rookwood Cemetery Dear Mike, As an afterthought, and it is a wonder someone else did not do this previously, I looked at the Headstone Inscriptions for the Rookwood Cemetery, which were done many years ago. There are no QUAIL entries at all on it, so the chances that there is no headstone to be found are quite high. The book on Rookwood Cemetery says that it is the biggest cemetery in the world, still operating. When it was gazetted in the 1860's (I think), it was way out in the backblocks from the city. With the urban sprawl it is now close to the geographical centre of Sydney suburbs. Sincerely, Bill >> >> Is anyone able to take a digital photo of a headstone for me ?
