Sorry remittance not admittance. The old grey matter not working!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lyn Craig Sent: Saturday, 6 November 2010 6:23 PM To: 'Ironside'; 'Goldfields Mailing List' Subject: RE: Ballarat Cemetery (was RE: Avenues of honour) Hi Paul The last time I was at the Ballarat Archives I came across this abbreviation. It was explained to me that OGNK stood for "Old Ground Not Known" - no section or location numbers known. My lady was ill and died in hospital 1869 and it was also explained that she may have been buried in a paupers grave and that the hospital made a monetary admittance for the burial. Maybe others can through some more light on the subject for you. Hope this helps.

I had taken that it stood for "open ground not known" but not sure. There is a section on the map shown as open ground. Seems to appear on older burials.

OK, it has been very slow on the list of late so here is a little puzzle I have, there may not be anything in it but would be neat if I can find out once and for all if he is part of the family or not. On the Ballarat Cemetery CD there is a James Todd, Blacksmith age 67, buried 13/5/1873 New Cemetery Location OGNK. Now, if he was either 47 instead of 67 years old or the date was 1893 instead of 1873, he would fit into the family very well. Perhaps someone could have a look at the applicable CD for me. His parents may be George Charles and Hannah (Ann) Todd and born in London. Paul in Sydney
Paul, from what you're saying, you should call up the cemetery and get them to check the dates of burial and on hte headstone for you. They might just have all of that without having to go look at the stone. At worst they'll make you write and possibly send a fee.
