Title: Ipswich headstones - WARWICK COMPLETED
Post by: Lallygirl on Thursday 23 April 09 17:15 BST (UK)

Hi
I am looking for someone who lives near or in Ipswich that can look up two headstones for me. I need to find out a more accurate date of death. I spent 4 hours looking through a whole year of Brisbane courier newspapers today on microfiche looking for a funeral notice without any luck. I am hoping with a correct date of death I might find something in the correct newspaper that I might of missed the first time.

Ultimately I am trying to find living relatives.

Patrick N Warwick died 1965 age 59 ref 4.0142
Lily E Warwick died 1969 age 61 ref 4.0142

I found these references on an Ipswich General Cemetery Headstones Index on Microfiche

Patrick Noel Warwick marred Lily Ellen Augustine in 1929.
In the 1936 electoral rolls they were at Murgon Queensland and had moved to Ipswich by the 1949 electoral roll.

thanks for any help
Jackie



COMPLETED
I rang the Ipswich City Council and they gave me the burial dates and the phone numbers for the local newspapers. I am going to place an add for family members in the local newspapers and see if i have any luck.

thanks

You  could  try  phoning  the cemetery and  getting details  there, they should be able to look  at  the records and tell you  further details.

Sometimes  headstone will not show date of death

Thank you Jenn

The phone number you gave me was the fax number  ::) I googled the correct number and was given the burial dates. They also gave me the numbers for the local newspapers - so if i do not have any luck with a burial notice in the archives again for names of living children - then I will put an add in the local newspaper for local relatives.

thanks for your tips and help
regards
Jackie
