What do people know about Peechelba Cem - I have a Henry William Densley who died there, and according to http://www.rootsweb.ancestry com/~ausvsac/Peechelba.htm there are only two headstones. Wonder why? Regards, Jo.

Hello all I have now completed the Railton Anglican Cemetery (north-west Tasmania). The Railton Catholic and Uniting Cemeteries will be following soon. See below for links. With kindest regards, Ria. -- Dr Ria Kotynia Headstones from Cemeteries of Tasmania http://www.ozgenonline.com/~riacaroline/ Partner Site of Australian Cemeteries http://www.australiancemeteries.com/

Not strictly Queensland, but not that far south of the border is the NSW town of Murwillumbah. A Catholic cemetery was established there in about 1930 and operated until about 1990 (when it was full). Most of the graves in the cemetery have headstones - which is good news for the family historians. You can find the headstone photos in the usual place, accessible via the Photo Caption Search: http://www.chapelhill.homeip.net/FamilyHistory/Photos/ When indexing them, I noticed a few dates of death that clearly precede the opening of this cemetery, but I can't say whether or not the people involved were re-interred into this cemetery or whether they are just memorialised on the headstone. There are also, of course, some dates of death after the closure of the cemetery, but presumably into an existing family grave. Previous to the opening of this cemetery, local Catholics were buried in a Catholic section of the Murwillumbah General Cemetery. That cemetery opened in the 1870s and closed around 1930 with over 2000 people buried there. In 1977, the Murwillumbah General Cemetery was converted into a park (Murwillumbah Sacred Park) - I presume that any remaining headstones were removed at that time (certainly there are none remaining today). However, for the family historian, all is not lost, because the council placed what appears to be the burial register on a series of plaques inside a small brick shelter. I say "what appears to be" because the plaques do not explicitly say that it is a burial register (the information might be from monumental inscriptions). Note it is not clear if the date given is a date of death or date of burial. We have photographed all of these plaques: http://www.chapelhill.homeip.net/FamilyHistory/Photos/Murwillumbah_Old-NSW/ We have not yet indexed these photos (so nothing will be found using our Photo Caption Search), but as the information on the plaques is organised alphabetically by surname and we photographed them in alphabetic order, it is easy for you to check for anyone in these lists. Just step through the photos using "Next". Enjoy! Kerry & David PS: If you are researching the Murwillumbah area, you might also find this site helpful: http://www.brandis.com.au/genealogy/gendata/tweedhd/index.html which has listings of 11 cemeteries in that area.

Hi Dave, I must have stuffed that one up. I was referring to the recording of the burial locations withi a cemetery and not the actual layout of the cemeteries. The Cemeteries an Crematoria Act of 2003 was amended in 2005 to cover the recording of burial locations within cemeteries. Yours, Garry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D Weatherill" <djweath@bigpond.net.au> To: <australia-cemeteries@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 31, 2010 9:05 AM Subject: Re: [AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES] Grave Locations > Gary; > > There is nothing in the cemetery Acts from 1850 to just recently that note > anything about how a cemetery should be laid out.

For some Bendigo deaths, try the Ballarat Cemeteries. I found mine there. Barb

Templestowe Cem is a bit weird. My Dad and Grandparents are their in Cremation spots, Mum and I have our places paid for. The garden bed dad is in is called The Chivers Rose Garden, a couple of times ago when we went they'd removed all the blinking roses and put some sort of trailing pine sort of thing in. Without letting us know. Now I don't know about you, but I'd prefer roses, and it's part of the reason we took the location. As I said they're weird. Don't get me wrong, the cemetery is always so clean and well kept, but they have their own ideas... Regards Jo.

The list, received a reply re: Templestowe cemetery deceased searches, have included the reply" Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. In the future all deceased records will be accessible through the Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust website (www.gmct.com.au <http://www.gmct.com.au/> ) however at this point I am not aware of the timeline for this to be up and running." Re this website there are quite a few cemeteries listed on this site. Regards Bernadette Salter

Gary; There is nothing in the cemetery Acts from 1850 to just recently that note anything about how a cemetery should be laid out. It would appear it was left up to the Trustees how they wish the cemetery to be set out. As the Trustees changed the initial set out it was kept or either changed. The big issue was in the records kept by the Trust - maps, cemetery plans and who was buried where. Also many of the records were lost over time re plans/locations. Of interest was that I was looking at a 10 acre cemetery in a small town where families took a "section" of the area for their burial area and you walked from area to area, sometimes quite a distance. As result there were large areas between each family section. There are a number where the cemetery is set out in religious denomination areas, usually graves in marked rows. Most small cemeteries I have researched seem to be that the person responsible for the burial went to the Trust and noted the burial to take place in this spot, or the Trust noted the spot. Usually no map of locations was kept. The 1890 Victoria Cemetery Act 10 July, 1890 [54-Vic-1072]notes in Section 48, (Page 161-162) "All burials within any cemetery under any law for the time being in force relating to public cemeteries shall be registered in a book to be provided and kept by the trustees for that purpose, and in such register-book shall be distinguished in what parts of the cemetery the several bodies are buried; and such register-book shall be indexed so as to facilitate searches for entries therein; and every book and document purporting to be such register-book or a copy or an extract therein shall be received in all courts as evidence of burials entered therein." This is probably the closest re locating burials, but there is nothing regarding the set/layout of the cemetery being legislated. The 1890 Act was a consolidation of all previous cemetery acts. With a number of early burials in cemeteries in the gold mining, early pastoral eras, etc, burials were undertaken very quickly in any position as the living had to continue with their existence under harsh conditions. So I think you will find that there are a plethora of cemetery layouts within the thousands of cemeteries in Victoria. All this adds to the issue.

As I was reading the old Victorian cemetery files held by the DHS Cemeteries Unit Archives, I came across a small file on a cemetery proposed at Beckworth, which would appear to have been situated near Clunes, Victoria. In November 1859 a number of residents wrote to the President of the Board of Lands and Works, from the Stirling Hotel, in Beckworth. "The petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the Parish of Beckworth humbly shewith that there is a large agricultural district, with a population very much scattered. That in some portions of the district the people are very far removed from any place of Worship, from any school house, and from any place of burial for the dead - the distance being in many cases, from four to five miles; also, that at some seasons of the year, the state of the roads is so bad that it is impossible for children to travel to school, and they are, in consequence deprived of instruction, by the ordinary means of Day and Sabbath Schools. In these circumstances, we, your humble petitioners beg to approach your honourable Board, and pray that you will take these matters into your favourable consideration, and be pleased to grant us a portion of land as a site, whereon to erect a suitable school house and Chapel and form a churchyard or cemetery." The petition was signed by 14 petitioners. On 30 November 1859 after consideration by Board of Public Health a recommendation of 10 acres of land be set aside for a general cemetery at Beckworth noted on a plan prepared by the Board. The map shows that the cemetery was part of the Clunes Pre emptive Section. The cemetery land was near Section: 1 of the Section. The last section of the file notes that on 12/12/1859 the recommendation went to the Governor in Council who approved the site on 19/12/1859. After that the old file ceases. I was interested in knowing if anything happened regarding this proposed cemetery and if there were any burials in it? Looking at the old map in the file I was curious if the cemetery might have been picked up by Clunes as the cemetery for the area. Just a thought. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, David

Hi All, I'm always amazed at the systems Trusts use to locate a grave within any given cemetery. Some of them seem to be invented by a combination of Monty Python and the Goon show. Some of them go to great lengths to avoid simplicity and get really complicated. At one they number the graves as pairs, that's not so bad but then they go DOWN the rows with their numbers instead of along the rows. Another they count four graves, two back to back to another two, as one compartment and then number the compartments. Yet another they number the graves in chronological order and use big maps with every name marked on them. Names of cemeteries not given to protect the perpetrators. It's quite common to count two rows, back to back, as one row. I've seen a few where they have the odd numbers in one row and the even numbers in the row opposite. It's quite common to split rows up into different sections with no indication where they split. The Victorian Garden cemeterys (as in Queen Victoria) have the trusts really bamboozled, such as St. Kilda, Brighton, Cheltenham Old. Sale cemetery did pretty good in this regard. Legislation was introduced in 2005 in regards to cemetery record keeping but it is pretty confusing and widely ignored. If anyone has got some interesting ones I'd like to hear about them. The normal system of location is the "Postal" system where Suburb, Street, House number equate to Section, Row and Grave number. Why re-invent the wheel ? I'm looking for the craziest system. Yours, Garry.

Oh, Rats, thought it was a good one. Darn it. Happy New Year. Love JO.

Hi Jo, thanks for that, but it does not list all people buried in Bendigo cemeteries. Most of my relatives buried in Bendigo are not listed. Happy New Year.

Hi Dorne Thank you for that info. This is what info we have. We would just like to find the wife. I saw the Deane bit but wasn't sure about it. I did a search for Stratford as parent but maybe I can't see the wood for the trees. It would appear that he returned home to his family before he died and they were not sure of the first name.

Hi Jackie I think it must be a mistake because I found my lady coming into Victoria in 1857 aged 19 which would make her about 1828 or 1829 birth and if she died in 1903 that would work out.
