Hi Angus That's not really what I meant but it is a possibility although the actual date of death may not have been known. What I meant was that if the area was flooded then a burial may have been difficult and therefore delayed. regards Lesley Uebel mailto:ckennedy@bigpond.net.au CLAIM A CONVICT http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/index.html -----Original Message----- From: aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Angus Lang Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 12:29 PM To: aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PJ] Delayed burial, SLANEY Hi Lesley, Thanks for the good suggestion - I will explore that avenue. Going missing in flood waters may well result in some delay in finding the body. Regards, Angus

Sorry, I should have mentioned that although he lived at Wilberforce, he was actually buried in the Old Cemetery at Pitt Town - I have seen his gravestone, or at least the remaining two-thirds of it.
