Hi Jo, no Isaacs listed on the memorial record for Emerald cemetery. The earliest date on a memorial is 1882 but that is on a large family memorial that most likely was created well after the event. The memorial dates seem to start in the 1890's. It's quite common for a memorial to list previous deaths in a family or people buried elsewhere. Yours, Garry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "joko" <joko@tadaust.org.au> To: "Aus Cem" <AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 12:59 PM Subject: [AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES] Emerald Cem > Hi I've looked at the Emerald website, and the name I'm looking for is not > there, I'm not very surprised it's Jacob Isaacs a Jewish boy born and died > 1862 - I googled "when was Emerald Cemetery Gazetted" and got a website > that > said "late 1800's" which is so not helpful.

Thanks Garry - I think he may have been buried on a farm, the only reason, apart from not being buried at emerald that I'm thinking this is that his father was listed as a farmer in an 1850 census - so maybe. Have just started looking for this litte fellow, only found him yesterday, so I've got a long way to go. Still I like to find out as much about the little ones who die young as I can, they never have much in their family tree entries, but SOMETHING - so I'll keep looking. Cheers Jo.
