Australia / Re: James DALLEY d.31 Dec 1911 Sydney, NSW
« on: Sunday 26 October 25 21:16 GMT (UK) »Following on from Neale1961. IF this is your family there is a newspaper article on the death of John in Charters Towers.

There most likely would not be a headstone for John and over the years the steel markers with grave numbers on them are rare to find. Actually the cemetery is in pretty poor condition which is a shame as the people buried there were the back bone to the town. I live in Charters Towers and if this is your family i am more than happy to go have a look for you.
Burial register ... no headstone but does give a plot number

Many thanks your very kind offer. I am assisting a friend with her family research. Her father, John (known as Jack) died when she was a teenager and Jack's father (James) died when he was 7 years of age. So she has no information on her paternal side. I am waiting for the arrival of the marriage certificate of James and Ellen Dalley, (Sydney 29 Dec 1885) to confirm that I am on the right DALLEY family line. Will be in touch, thank you. Bonnie.
