Title: Obit needed Townsville QLD for Robert James Wright 1923
Post by: rebelsher on Friday 09 January 09 21:20 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone - I need an obituary for Robert James Wright who died 12 Dec 1923 in Townsville, QLD.  He's supposedly buried at the Townsville Cemetery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I  wil  check with  the cemetery on Monday but it would be sometime till I  can get to James Cook University  to  look  at the Townsville Daily Bulleting records.

Details  from  Townsville Cemetery  located at Belgian Gardens Townsville

Robert James WRIGHT
aged 75 years birth place Armagh Ireland last address Garbutt Townsville
Church of England
grave 4 F number 238 no headstone
buried 14/12/1923.

It is possible  there may not be an obituary for  him  but possibly a funeral notice or death notice might be in  the Townsville Bulletin.

Hope this is of some help to you

Oops, sorry about that. I see where you said earlier it would be awhile before you could check the Bulletin records. Thank you.
