Can anyone help with this question? The Mitchell Library holds a photograph of Devonshire Street Cemetery which looks to be intact and everyone appears to be going about their usual day-to-day activities. The Photograph is dated 1902. The City of Sydney Archives holds a photograph which shows the bodies being exhumed. That photograph is dated 1901! I also understand that in 1901 relatives (or others) were only given two months to arrange for exhumation and removal of remains. Any remains not claimed in that time had the headstones destroyed and the station was built over the remains. If that is the case, it would seem that there could not be a photograph of the Cemetery taken in 1902 still intact. I may have some misinformation or misunderstood something. Can anyone straighten the apparent discrepancy on these archival photos for me please? Kerri

Julie, There seems be some confusion sometimes as I have only recently learned that messages don't always arrive sequentially and some can be held up for a considerable amount of time - counted in days, not just hours. I think I have caught up with the order on this one now.

Iceland is near Norway, my Charles Anderson was born in Norway, the spelling was Andersen, but was spelt wrongly here in Australia. There are LOTS of Charles Andersons from Norway and probably Iceland too. Barb

Hello There, I have a Charles Anderson married Emma Tunn in 1872 Vic and it says that Charles was born in Iceland!, does any one out there know where this place is please?. Charles Anderson died 1892 aged 35 years and is buried in Williamstown Cemetery in a public grave, parents unknown. Shall await your most welcome replies. Regards Glenys

Hello, I have a relative that, according to her death certificate, was buried in 1891 in Mildura Cemetery. Today, there is no record of that burial taking place. Would there have been another cemetery other than the one that is there today? Her name was Elizabeth Belsar Thanks Debbie

I think Iceland is near Greenland.

Can be confusing, but Surry Hills and Cleveland Street where Ann Hughes died in 1860 are in inner Sydney. Surrey Hills is a suburb of Melbourne, near Box Hill. Neither of these small suburbs would have their own cemetery. Cheers, Cathie

Good Morning; As I was reading old cemetery files last week, I ran across one for Ulina/Ullina Private Burial Ground. Both spellings were in the old file. The file noted that the burials were in a private burial ground on the Ulina Pre-emptive Right of 320 acres in Portion A and B, Parish of Chiltern West, County of Bogong. The address noted in the file was for Chiltern Valley, via Chiltern for William Withers who had written to the government of the day. Most of the file dealt with a request in May, 1909 by William Withers, for permission of the Public Health Department in Melbourne to bury his mother upon her death, in the private burial ground on the property with her husband in his grave. With the information in the file was a map showing the location of the burial ground, plus of the burial ground itself of about 29 perches, noting the location of the graves and the names of most the 26 burials in the burial ground up to 1909. William Withers noted that the burial ground was used by the family and others. He could not identify 7 burials noted for grave 2, graves 4 to 7 and graves 11 and 12. Most of the burials noted were for the Withers family members (13 graves) but others listed were for: children of George Chandler, Mrs Chandler, Mrs Munro, M.M. and M.E. Maynard and Mabel Pleming. No dates were supplied for the burials, just the names. The burial ground was located near Black Dog Creek. In his last letter to the Minister of Lands William Withers noted his mother had lived there since 1843. Just thought List Members might be interested in the brief notes on the old burial ground. These old burial grounds keep turning up all the time as I research the cemeteries/burial grounds in an area. I would be interested in knowing if the burial ground still exists, or any other information anyone might have on it. Regards, David ------------------------------------------- David Weatherill Bundoora Victoria Australia

Barry, How absolutely kind and generous of you to go to so much trouble. I am most grateful. That certainly is interesting information. I am sad that neither of those two mentioned are my Anne's. She is an interesting person with and incredible background. After ages searching for details of her death, I have only just come to be aware of the details and therefore was able to gain access to her burial details. I really do appreciate the trouble you have gone to - it seems my Annie's grave must have been long lost.(As were so many others). Isn't this a fascinating subject - old graves are just so interesting. I didn't think I would be fortunate, but it was worth a try. Kindest regards, Kerri -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barry Stephenson Sent: Friday, 17 October 2008 8:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES] Location Kerri, The most likely burial place for Ann Hughes would be the Sydney Burial Ground (Devonshire Street cemetery). The cemetery no longer exists and the site is now occupied by Sydney Central Railway Station. Given the facts; Ann died Cleveland Street Surry Hills NSW 1860. her death was registered at Chippendale. The Old Sydney Burial ground was located at Elizabeth and Devonshire Streets Sydney and it was the main burial ground from 1819 to the late 1800's. Surry Hills is on the eastern side of Elizabeth Street, Chippendale was to the west of the cemetery and Cleveland Street run within one klm south of the cemetery. The remains would be taken by horse and cart so they would not have gone too far in that period to bury someone. I looked up a book entitled Sydney Burial Ground 1819 - 1901 by Keith A Johnson and Malcolm R Sainty, published by the Library of Australian History Sydney 2001. The book is about the relocation of remains and headstones from the Burial ground to other cemeteries. In the book there are two references to Ann Hughes' but neither are your Ann. 1). died 12.12.1841 and was buried in the C of E section and later the remains and headstone relocated to La Perouse C of E (Bunnerong cemetery) the other 2). was an application by Ann Hughes it seems for a plot next to her husband Frederick (died 1865) and daughter Susan (died 1868) in the Presbyterian section. The remains and headstone later relocated to Rockwood C of E cemetery. The book only seemed to cover anyone who had a headstone which along with the remains were removed to other locations. It also states that remains may have gone to other cemeteries and not where the headstone went. Google Devenshire Street Cemetery and you will find more information on the cemetery. Hope this helps.

This is the Burwood Cemetery, and I think you can access details through www.lilydalecemetery.com.au this site also has Yarra Glen & Healesville.

This is probably Burwood Cemetery which is online through Lilydale Cemetery website. However it only gives locations. But at least it is useful for confirming if your person is buried there.
