Dear Everyone, I am new to this list and am hoping that SKS will be able to send some information “down under”. Some time between April 1871 and August 1875 Charles Burton Newenham, sometime Sheriff of South Australia and his wife Mary Louisa née Darley, together with their daughter, Emily Grace, and her husband, Sir Charles Cooper, sometime Chief Justice of South Australia, moved to Bath where they lived in Pulteney Street. All four of them died in Bath: Mary - 28 March 1880, Sir Charles – 24 April 1887, Charles – 18 November 1887, Emily – 18 October 1906. In this context I have three questions: 1. Would there be any way that I could find out where they are buried? 2. Is it possible to find out whether there are any headstones, memorials etc.? 3. If so, is there a source of photographs of these headstones or memorials? Thanking you in anticipation. Regards, Michael
Dear Michael, Do you have their death certificates? According to Bath BMD http://www.bathbmd.org.uk/cgi/deathind.cgi Charles and Mary's deaths were registered in the sub-district of Bathwick, so it is possible that they were bured in St Mary's, Bathwick. Perhaps there is someone on the list you can suggest how you can look further. Good luck!

You could try Bath Abbey's archives. Are you sure of his date of death? The Australian dictionary of Biography gives it as 24th May 1887.
