    2. Kerry Raymond

    3. Barbara is right that there was a list created when they were trying to relocate the graves, but it's far from complete. The original cemetery was not run by just one organisation, but by a number of different church groups, who didn't appear to keep particularly good records, so even 100 years ago they didn't have a very clear idea of who had been buried there. Possibly of interest to this conversation is this document at Qld State Archives: http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Search/SeriesDetails.aspx?SeriesId=1886 1 which is described as: This series consists of Brisbane General Cemetery (Toowong Cemetery), Brookfield, Moggill and Lang Park portion plans showing the position of burial plots. Each plan contains a portion number and plot numbers. The Lang Park plan includes names of deceased. I believe that some family history societies may have compiled lists of people known to be buried at Lang Park based on whatever information was available, which might include the information gathered back when they were trying to relocate the graves, as well as death certificates and funeral notices obtained through the research of their members.

There is a full listing of people buried there set out In a Queensland Government about the middle of the 1910s, as the Government contacted known families for them to advise where the persons were to be moved to. It is understood that a lot went to the "new" Toowong/Brisbane General Cemetery" and others were taken to where the families requested. This list if also set out by Religion. I can't remember the exact date of the list but do recall seeing it, I know we had a copy from the Gazette at GSQ rooms but could not find it a while ago when I went looking for one of the members. Are these gazettes on line as I know we have them on our computers, and State Archives have films of the gazettes in their microform room where the computers and printers are located.

However they are only those that could be found in 1914 when the cemetery was being demolished. there are a mere 600 names listed out of at least 10,000 So.. with time I have whittled the list down from over 30,000 deaths in the time frame that the cemetery was open to just over 10,000 that are still not located for certain. If I could scrounge up $40,000 I could get the information from the registrar. Sue.

    3. Kerry, we have all of the information you suggested :)) as I said earlier I have been working on this for a long time now and have a extensive list of those thought to be buried in each of the seven milton/ paddington cemeteries aka Lang Park. I am also good friends with the archaeologist who led the excavation of more than 300 graves when the latest development would have destroyed them in the foundation piling for the new stadium, the remains discovered were interred in the Toowong cemetery and a memorial plaque put in place. It is hoped that with grant funding we will be able to finish our project by confirming with the death certificate those that we have remaining on our list. The informaion would then be published on a searchable CD. cheers Sue Sent from my iPhone On 14/03/2012, at 8:37 AM, "Kerry Raymond" <[email protected]> wrote: > Barbara is right that there was a list created when they were trying to > relocate the graves, but it's far from complete.

    1. Re: [AUS-QLD] proxy burial register for Paddington Cemetery (the old Brisbane General)
    2. Kerry Raymond

    3. Can I suggest putting it on the WWW rather than on a CD? The WWW is accessible to more people than a CD would be. And with the WWW you can put up whatever information you already have and update it progressively as new information comes to hand. With a CD there is no easy way to publish updates.
