Good Morning Dorne; Sorry to take so long in getting back to you re your request. I have been flat out these last few days and just getting back to my work on Heidelberg/Warringal Cemetery. Your people are buried as follows: Sent: Friday, 24 September 2010 5:54 PM To: australia-cemeteries@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES] SAGS (AGC Index) reference number meaning? Hi Folks, I am aware that the information on the AGC Index is not always correct (I suspect it is wrong in this case too), I wondered if somoneone on the list may know what the SAGS reference number refers too for the BRADLEY's buried at the HEIDELBERG cemetery e.g; REFERENCE: C7/11/1 P167 Regards, Dorne.

Good morning David, Wow, I cannot thank you enough; thank you so much for going to all that trouble. The best part is that it was worthwhile asking as they are Summer Robyne's family and the information you have given confirms what I have found but also supplies more information for her in "new" family members. Thank you again. Regards, Dorne. Dorne SAUNDERS Dornes1@bigpond.com

Hi Dorne; Glad the data was of some help. I know of the AIGS database. I think I know where the information came from - G.P. Townsend's MIs for the cemetery completed in the early part of the 20th C. Not too sure though how the AIGS prepared the codes for each entry.

Hi David, Thank you for your reply. I am at a loss to know where the data came from too. Whilst researching my own BRADLEYs, I found one buried at CAMPBELL'S CREEK, on attempting to obtain further information from the cemetery I was told by the gentleman in charge "the information must have come from the headstone as no one had accessed our records from the day the cemetery began". Unfortunately some years ago I was helping a lady with her family tree, I found information of three family members buried the same day. I found the parent's deaths but not the daughter mentioned as being buried the same day. Unfortunately the parents died in a tragic accident and the daughter mentioned was the lady I was helping with her tree; apparently her name appears on the headstone as being their daughter, not that she died. The BRADLEY information I queried and you have kindly supplied mentions a John and Hannah BRADLEY, the AGC Index reads as though they also died 5th September 1879, they were in fact children of Thomas and were still living after his 5th September 1879 death. Thank you to both you and Alison for your assistance, it is kind souls like both of you that make genealogy an enjoyable experience for researchers. Regards, Dorne.

Hi Alison, Thank you for you generous offer, David has replied, in detail, of the BRADLEYs relating to my SAGS query therefore there will be no need for you to go to SAGS for me. Thank you again for the offer. Regards, Dorne. Dorne Phefley SAUNDERS (AUSTRALIA) Dornes1@bigpond.com
