Hello all, I have just received the death cert of Amelia Mary Machen who died on 23rd June 1901. Her death cert says she was buried at Melbourne cemetery on 25th June 1901. However, Melbourne General cemetery says there is no record of her burial under any variation of spelling of her surname. e.g Macheu, Machi? etc. I am trying to determine where she is buried and who she is buried with. Another alternative is that she is buried at Brighton where her son is, and the death cert gives the wrong info. Any ideas? -- Jenny Boyer Harkaway, Victoria

Did Melbourne General check the actual book, or just their computer? They have the actual burial books at the cemetery. Lyn

Have yu tried fawkner? It was "New melbourne" for a few years and is searchable on line presume they checked St Kilda???and Springvale, they usually do.
