Sussex / Re: Martha Knight Brighton Workhouse Burial Query

Thank you for the reply to my message BumbleB, the information about Brighton Workhouse is very interesting.

I’d really like to find Inmate Records but they seem  difficult to find.

Sussex / Martha Knight Brighton Workhouse Burial Query
« on: Saturday 27 July 24 07:36 BST (UK)  »
My 2nd Great Grandmother Martha Knight died on 6 November 1873 in the Brighton Workhouse of Typhoid which she had for 10 days.
I am attempting to find where Martha was buried, I have searched extensively unsuccessfully and The Keep have searched burial records where Workhouse Inmates Burials were done with no success. They suggested she may have been buried in a church but I’ve been told that as Martha was an unmarried mother this would not have been allowed but not sure if this is true.  The Keep also asked if I had an address for her.  The last address I have for is 1871 Census Cuckfield Workhouse.  I have found it difficult to find Workhouse Inmate Records also.
I am reaching out to see if anyone can advise me if there is anywhere else they could suggest I can look.  I live in Australia so most of my United Kingdom research is done online.  I also have My Heritage and Ancestry subscriptions and use Family Search.

Australia / Re: Karrakatta Cemetery WA is being "RENEWED"
« on: Tuesday 18 February 20 06:59 GMT (UK)  »
As I said before I have family buried in Karrakatta Cemetery.   I visit regularly and the Renewal is not being rushed nor the whole cemetery destroyed.  Small sections are being renewed at a time over many years.  Headstones that have been disposed of are illegible and broken.  The remainder are being placed tastefully throughout the Cemetery.  My husband passed away two years ago and his ashes have been placed in a garden in the renewal area.  There are headstones scattered throughout gardens, a number of very old graves remain some with the original headstone and some families have replaced the headstone with a plaque. So many people panicked when they first heard about Renewal at Karrakatta myself included but after contacting the cemetery and looking at the plans which are available for everyone to look at I realised nothing will be done without permission if current  contacts for graves are given to the cemetery administration. The maintenance of Headstones and grave surrounds is the responsibility of the interred’s family not the cemetery each burial plot has a 25 year lease from the first burial that takes place of the three deceased allowed.  When the lease expires a fee is payable to lease the plot for a further twenty five years but this is very seldom invoked.
My husband has family buried in Karrakatta over many years that have never had headstones placed on their graves. 
For those interested in records only Karrakatta Cemetery has an excellent online search for records.

I live in Perth Western Australia and have family buried in Karrakatta Cemetery.  There are many graves that have fallen into disrepair they are sunken have damaged  surrounds and headstones.  The contact details for these graves are not current on the burial records, families either never visit or there are no families left.  If people have family buried at Karrakatta they need to ensure a current contact or contacts are kept updated with cemetery administration.  If anyone wants to see what is happening with Karrakatta Cemetery have a look at their website.  www.mcb.wa.gov.au

Thank you so much for the information about Richard Nichols.  No I don’t have their Wills.  I have found probate records but not the Will are you able to tell me how to get copies please.
