| Thanks Maureen, | Oh, what a pity. | Still the questions of where did the TAMIOT info come from and what happened to | the tombstones, remain unanswered. | Do you (or someone else) know the next line of research to follow. | Any help would be appreciated. | Rade - Melbourne. | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: Maureen Martin <momartin@bigpond.net.au> | To: <AUS-TAS-SURNAMES-L@rootsweb.com> | Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 8:52 PM | Subject: Re: [AUS-TAS-SURNAMES] Launceston Charles St Cemetery - Visit | | | | Sorry Rade the Charles Street cemetery has been long gone. | | | | Regards | | | | Maureen Martin in Launceston | | | | | | ----- Original Message ----- | | From: "Graham Cooke" <radeau69@hotmail.com> | | To: <AUS-TAS-SURNAMES-L@rootsweb.com> | | Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 6:04 PM | | Subject: [AUS-TAS-SURNAMES] Launceston Charles St Cemetery - Visit | | | | | | > Would some kind soul who lives in or close to Launceston and can visit | the | | Charles Street cemetery please check some graves for me. | | > | | > The TAMIOT gives these five entries (Name - Date died - Charles St | | Cemetery Plot Location): | | > | | > George RANKIN - 3 Jan 1837 - LN05/0518-1 | | > Alexander RANKIN - 8 Sep 1877 - LN05/0518-2 | | > Esther RANKIN - 10 Jun 1852 - LN05/0518-3 | | > Elizabeth RANKIN - 2 Jun 1852 - LN05/0518-4 | | > Barbara RANKIN - 22 Sep 1877 - LN05/0518-5 | | > | | > Alexander and Esther were married and the others are three of their six | | children. | | > | | > The numbering system leads me to think that there is only one location | and | | thus possibly only one tombstone or monument.
