Just checking if anyone in the Bendigo area has any plans to visit the cemetery sometime soon, would really appreciate some photos.
George Pallett 09 Apr 1878 - Section: Mon C3 Grave No: 3586
Thomas Pallett 20 May 1870 - Section: Mon C3 Grave No: 3586
Mary Ann Pallett 16 Apr 1909 - Section: Mon D3 Grave No: 3586
George Percy Wiseman Pallett 12 Jul 1890 - Section: Mon F3 Grave No: 11531
William Pallett 11 Dec 1894 - Section: Mon F3 Grave No: 13272
Also looking into William Pallett who married my 3rd great aunt Sophia (nee Cole). I found a Bendigo Weekly article from last year that has some information on him. It states he owned the Live and Let Live Hotel, located in High Street in late 1880 and also the Royal Hotel at 10 Forest Street around the same time. The Royal Hotel closed in 1916. William died in Bendigo in 1894 (will have to try and get a photo of the headstone one day) and his wife Sophia ran it for a while before transferring the licence in 1902 and she later moved to Albury. Does anyone by chance have photos of these two pubs from around 1880?

You should find this interesting: http://www.bendigoweekly.com.au/news/a-singing-licensee
>:( Just read that you have already found this, but I'll leave it here so it doesn't get posted again.
-
Yes, but thank you though :)
-
I will probably be going past the cemetery in the next week.
Don't get your hopes up too high though, that section of the cemetery has very few marked graves remaining, there are a few but its mostly just featureless stony ground now.
I will see what I can do.

Yeah I totally understand that, thanks for taking the time to check for me though.

I wonder if anyone has the resource for the photos of headstones in Bendigo Cemeteries?
https://www.bendigograves.com/
It would save Paul searching for unmarked graves in mostly just featureless stony ground
This group MAY be able to help with photographs.

I have those photos for you, you struck the jackpot.
The family must have been fairly well off, unlike my great grandmother and her baby twins buried in the same section with nothing to mark the spot, probably just a wooden cross that is long gone.
That Mon C3 grave 3586 is stacked with people.
G. Percy W. Pallet is the only one in a family sized plot.
William Pallet's headstone looks as though his wife left room for herself but wasn't buried there, (remarried?) The inscription at the bottom is almost impossible to read because of the black algea but could be picked out by doing a rubbing, from what I could make out it basically says that they would be together again in the tomb.
Thanks to the very helpful volunteer Sexton for pointing me in the right direction.
As Cando mentioned the Bendigo family history group has a wealth of information as well.
There is a Pallett St in Eaglehawk which may be named after one of your family, possibly George as he was a builder and may have been subdividing ground.
PM me your Email address.

Great news Paul. :)
I find it so frustrating searching bare ground for at least a grave location.
I've had great help in the past from the family history group.

May be worth finding this publication - perhaps the local group can help.

The Mount Alexander Mail 12 Dec 1894
Mr William Pallett, the landlord of the Royal Hotel, Bendigo, was found dead in the city
baths on Sunday morning. The deceased was a native of Bendigo and 36 years of age. He was a Freemason and a member of the All Saints' choir for many years, and was prominent in musical circles.
An inquiry was held, at which evidence was given that the deceased went to the city
baths for a warm bath. The caretaker noticing that the water was flowing out under the
door opened the door and found Mr Pallett dead in the bath.The medical evidence was
to the effect that the deceased was drowned, probably having been overtaken by an apoplectic fit.
William had no real estate in his deceased estate

You can search here for a digitised probate file - mainly furniture, no mention of hotel property. I suggest he was the licensee and was renting the hotel.

Mount Alexander Mail 17 May 1899
On Saturday morning Mrs Pallett's Royal Hotel, in Bendigo, was entered by a thief, who
stole £7 from one of the drawers. The house keeper, Mrs Matthews, was awakened by a
noise, and saw a man in the act of taking her watch from the dressing-table. She at once
jumped out of bed and followed the burglar, who, however, escaped.
Still there in 1900

The Annals of Bendigo can be found in the family history section of lots of libraries, if not an inter library loan would probably be possible.
The Tim Hewit book should also be available the same way, I have it here somewhere but it has obviously wormed its way behind another book.
I presume by the conflicting information in the Castlemaine paper and the Bendigo Advertiser that William died in the Bendigo baths which were not far from Forest St.
Paul

His death notice states he died Forest Street, Bendigo but that was his residential address :)
I have to go out now but will have another look through my resources later.

I have family tree for Bendigo Pallett’s going back to 1700s
I have some photos of grave and will be visiting again in near future. There is a picture on a heritage cemetery website. The Pallett’s actually built the mortuary chapel in Bendigo cemetery. Bendigo was originally called Sandhurst .

Hey Steve
I did a road trip a couple years back and visited the cemetery and got most of the headstones then, also photographed the chapel. Would have been nice to see what it looked like inside
Dale,
I had some of the Daddo's come up in a DNA test, thought that was pretty cool. Was good watching when Cameron on WDYTYA too
