    3. Tracey, Agnes's death certificate should list her place of burial, but she was buried in the RC section at Sandhills, the old Devonshire Street cemetery; she died 25 February 1862, and when the railway line was put through in 1901 she was re-interred at Bunnerong (cemetery across the road from Botany Cemetery at Matraville). Memorial inscription (from Bunnerong) reads: Agnes WILSON died 25 February 1862 aged 44 years, also Esther Caroline her dau, died 30 November 1862 aged 18 years Source: Sydney Burial Ground 1819-1901 (Elizabeth & Devonshire Streets) and history of Sydney's early cemeteries from 1788, by Sainty & Johnson Hope this helps Alison :-) Sydney Australa ======================= On 27.10.2012 10:07 PM, tracey_e62@exemail.com.au wrote: > I am trying to find information about where a cemetery woud be.
