Sue did you find a Betsy or Elizabeth Larter buried on the 11/2/1856 at Milton possibly in the Presbyterian cemetery. She died at the Immigration Depot (Commissariat Store) 115 William St. Brisbane Queensland Australia 9/2/1856 Regards Colin Larter -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sue Sent: Wednesday, 14 March 2012 10:42 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] Thomas Henry chambers 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.
