Hi all, According to his burial certificate, Edward SLANEY, farmer of Wilberforce, son of James SLANEY (Guildford 1816), died on 3rd December 1854 aged 32. However, he was not buried until 3rd February 1855 - some two months later! I have not been able to find any record of a Coroner's inquest or anything to explain the circumstances of his death or why it took two months to bury him (unless the dates on the certificate are incorrect). Any ideas would be appreciated. Angus

Hi Angus I have an ancestor like this, but in this case his remains were buried 3 months later, and family story is the result of wild pigs.... came home from WW1, partied on the Balonne River with mates, went of to find a good tree... must have hurt him self in some way, and the pigs came in for dinner.
