Title: Beaconsfield General Cemetery, Tasmania
Post by: george12 on Tuesday 02 September 14 08:12 BST (UK)
Wondering where the grave site plan and burial records can be found for the Beaconsfield General Cemetery in Tasmania.
Would like to locate the grave of Christina WALDUCK nee Lewis who died in Nov 1942 - some records indicate she was buried in the Methodist section however she is possibly in the Presbyterian (one record says this and her mother was a Cameron from Scotland) She is the 2nd wife of Thomas Henry WALDUCK but is not in the Walduck grave near the front gate.
Also looking for the gravesite of William Henry MICHAEL who died in Apr 1907. His wife Caroline Ferris MICHAEL nee Browne died in Nov 1910 and son Henry Frederick MICHAEL died in Nov 1902 - they are  in the Methodist Section at Beaconsfield and likely to be together.

Grateful for any assistance.

Many thanks - will contact West Tamar Council with details of the relatives of interest.
Hope they have the plot numbers not stated on their list for some people in the cemetery.

Appreciate the help

Their database is headed Burials/Cremations/Memorials

There may be no plot number if ashes were scattered etc.
