    3. Hi Paul, With the way the data is presented it's pretty obvious that it is photographs of headstones - photo number, names, born, died, age, spouse - that sort of data is rarely available on a burial register. Also, the data does not include any PLOT reference which many people photographing headstones do not have at their fingertips! Be grateful that someone has taken the time and effort to do all of this work for descendants and family. BUT if you investigate these entries further, and follow the link to DATA you will end up on the Box Hill Cemetery site - use the link to Find a Grave or Memorial and then you DO find further information which is obviously from the burial register. It certainly includes your Ellen COOKE who was buried 24 Sep 1958 AND the other two people in the same plot - Mabel Veronica and Richard John WALSH. Regards .........

However, this shouldn't be a reason to omit a photo of a gravesite (or the web page be headed that it is a headstone photographic record, not a burial record, which it could be misconstrued as.) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GENANZ-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
