      According to the Burial records Farrow Longstaff, aged 65 years, was buried on 29th November 1919 in plot no. 259, Section 6 of the North graveyard.
      I have yet to transcribe the headstones in Section 6 so don't know if he has got one or not. However, plot no 259 should not be too hard to locate. I'll have a look and, if there is a headstone, try to get a decent picture of it.

Hi Pat

Thanks fot that, can I just double check the date, a relative told me he died in January, the burial is November, is that right?

If you could check if he had a headstobne that would be great.

Cheers

       I've just had a walk along to the graveyard to check for a headstone - there isn't one. In fact there are very few in that part of Section 6. I photographed a couple of headstones that were in roughly that  location and checked the information on them against the database to make sure I was in the right area; the location was confirmed, so no luck.

       There aren't many Longstaff burials in Blackhill cemetery so I've attached a PDF showing them all. You can confirm Farrow's details from that. People are usually buried within 3 or 4 days of their death, so unless there was some reason for Farrow to be put into cold storage you may have been working on the wrong date of death.

Hi Pat

Thanks for checking if he had a headstone & the other Longstaffs.  There's at least 1 definite relative on there as the address is the same as Farrow's.

Cheers

Hi JayG,

I have just started doing my family tree and have found that Farrow Longstaff is my great great grandfather.  I have my great grandparents marriage certificate and he is listed on it.

Could you tell me how you are related to him.

Thanks,

Paul

Hello,
I am looking for any Fidgeons or McAnnellys/McAnaneys or any variants of both names buried in Blackhill cemetery in the 1800 & 1900s.
Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi Pat

I'm also trying to locate ancestors buried in Blackhill, in particular Scott & Harkness families.  When will these be available to search on line like the old graveyard?  If you have time to do look-ups on these I would be grateful.

Many thanks
Linda
