Thank you, Darlene. I do appreciate you doing that lookup.
I also had a response from Cass, who provided web sites where I could do deceased searches - and I found both there. I had no idea that deceased searches were now available for Rookwood - over the years I've looked online but decided it may never happen, so it's great to discover this resource. Now - if they could only get Woronora up . . . that would be wonderful.

Cass,
Thanks so much for that very useful information! I had actually visited the Catholic site the previous day, but had failed to notice that a deceased search was available.
I had, over the years, checked periodically for online Rookwood resources, but to no avail. It is wonderful that this resource is available.
BTW, I DID find the information on both my great-grandparents - one on the Catholic site and one on the Independent site (religion separated them in death as it had in life - after 10 children, they parted ways).

Meegan,
Thanks kindly for the offer to stop in at Woronora - much appreciated.
I've just learned that a cousin in Sydney (I'm in Canada) is willing to go by there, and that apparently it is not that far from where she lives.
However, if that doesn't happen for some reason, I would love to take you up on your offer - which reinforces what I've always believed, that the genie community is one of the very best I know for helping one another.
Thanks again,
Jillian
-
Jillian
That's fine, if your cousin doesn't get there quick enough for you just let me know, as i said i go past every couple of weeks on the way to visit my parents.
I like to go and visit my relos there every now and again I have a chat with them. see if they can give me any hints to find things, I swear one lot of great grandparents have been helping me. now i need to get another great grandfather to let me know where to look for his birth.
I agree the genies are a very helpful lot.
meegan
-
Thanks, Meegan.
It's great that you've been getting some help during those chats!
If I ever get back to Oz I am definitely going to go and visit Rookwood and Woronora. My family was never interested in visiting the departed, but I would actually like to . . .

Thanks so much for this information.
With regard to Nellie Evans you mentioned, I wonder if you could give me the details there too please. I know her husband's name was Bert, but there could be a William in his name as well.
I'm not sure of dates of death, but would imagine 1970's, it could be that they were cremated.

Hello Darlene
I first asked about Sally Fieldhouse (see post no. 34) on 3rd Jan 08.
Since then I have got the death cert for Sally Fieldhouse and it states she died on 25 Aug 1903 and is buried at Church of England Cemetery, Rookwood. Date of burial is 26th Aug 1903. Are there two cemeteries at Rookwood. I'm a bit confused here ???
Undertaker was Charles Kinsela.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Hi Chris
Rookwood is a HUGE Cemetery, it is divided into sections each area administered by their own trust, so you have the Roman Catholic area, the Church of England area, Jewish , Independant (Methodist, Baptist Presbyterian) etc etc area. So Death Certificates may record a person being buried in the Church of England or maybe the Roman Catholic Cemetery at Rookwood.
As each Section have their own Office and keep their own records, if you only know that the person was buried at "Rookwood" but are not sure of which section, you have to contact each Office to find the location of a grave.
The Crematorium also keep their own records.
If you wish you could down load Google Earth (it is free) and it will give you an idea of the area Rookwood covers, it is the size of a normal suburb, full of roundabouts and one way streets.
Hope this helps
Cass
-
Hi Cass,
Thanks for letting me know all that about Rookwood. I will have a look on Google Earth. Maybe I should be contacting the Church of England section at Rookwood to find out a plot number.
Cheers, Chris

Hi Darlene
Could you possibly have a look so see if there is a transcript for a MARY HATTON who died in 1926. Mary's husband was Thomas A Hatton.
Regards
Webby
-
Hi Darlene I hope all is well with you now. I know you couldn't find my relatives(Rosebridge). As I was going down to Sydney (we live in QLD) and try to visit the cemetery I thought I would ring the cemetery office and they were able to tell me my GGrandfather and G.Uncle were "scattered to the four winds" so it saved me a wasted visit as there was no plaque. Thought this may be of some use to people looking for plaques.

Hi Darlene,
If you're still doing Rookwood lookups, would you mind searching for:
Emma Ivanhoe HARDWICK d 1957
Thankyou
Tom
-
Tom you may get a better response if you post on the main board Emigrants to Australia....this section is intended for resources only.
Cheers
cando

Tom
I had a look on the Rookwood disk and sorry to say no records for Emma
Hardwick, remember it only records details of headstones, if no headstone there would be nothing on the disk and it does not include details of the memorial plates at the Crematorium.
Have you checked the Catholic and the Independant sites, you can do a burial search for those sections of the Cemetery on line
Good Luck
Cass

All the best,
Tom
