Sarah Jones married a Caleb Humphries in 1859 in Victoria Australia. Sarah died in 1873 & is buried in the Ballarat Cemetery( New) Private d, Section 11, Grave 20 on the 14th September 1873. Would there be anyone who goes to or lives nearby the Ballarat Cemetery in Victoria Australia that could possibly lookup a possible headstone for her.
I know that Caleb died in 1899 & was buried 9th April 1899 at Box Hill Cemetery
Thank you.

Transcriptions of headstones at Ballarat Old and New Cemeteries does not list a Sarah HUMPHRIES. She is certainly buried there but no memorial.

Thank you Cando for looking for me, this lady is a difficult person to find. I might try finding her marriage certificate to Caleb Humphries which will have her father's name & occupation on it Thanks again Ellen
