Dear Peter - As always, thanks heaps. I agree with you that Martha Ann was most likely buried here, with her parents, siblings, and numerous in-laws as well as her husband. Best wishes, Carol.

She doesn't appear in the Old New Norfolk Cemetery book I have nor Stephens St (St Matthews). A possibility she was buried in one of the Methodist cemeteries in New Norfolk but more likely she's somewhere close to her husband...

The funeral service will be read at the Wesleyan Chapel, at 3 o'clock THIS DAY (Tuesday)." William was married to Martha Ann Childs and they had two children, a son, William Henry Sunderland Cook, b. 1874, and a daughter, Florence Mary Cook, b. 1875. Sadly Martha Ann died in the New Norfolk Asylum 24 February 1884 - she'd been admitted by her father the previous December according to her case file, online at the Archives website. I have two questions about this family and hope someone can help. Firstly - where was Martha Ann buried after her death in 1884? Could she be buried here with her husband or were all burials held somewhere in New Norfolk? (William Cook's gravestone hasn't survived so I have no idea where he/they might be buried.) The next question is the fate of their daughter Florence Mary Cook - I have her brother's details and know who his descendants are but can't find a thing about Florence after her birth. Fingers crossed someone can help, and best wishes, Carol Brill, Briggs Road, Old Beach. ------------------------------- AUS-Tasmania Mailing List Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/ Contact Admin AUS-Tasmania-Admin@rootsweb.com Search the Archive (type AUS-Tasmania in the list box) http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-TASMANIA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this message.
