Thanks Prue,

The informant was a G Loughrey, Assistant Manager Lidcombe State Hospital & Home (where Alfred died).  Like you say he probably didn't know anything about Alf's family.

I will post a new thread to see if he had a gravestone.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks OzyBob,

I have posted a separate thread asking for a look up.  If no joy there, I have just read another post which gives the email address for Rookwood, so I may email them for the information.

I have also sent a reply to someone asking them to photograph his grave if they see it on their visit.  It would be nice to find out the location of the grave for them.

Thanks again.

hello  there

I  find it a  bit  odd that  gordon alexander merrall is also listed as gouge-merrall  on  his death details on  the  nsw  bdm's

so  had a  little  look around

and  by  the bdm's  Daisy  was  married  prior to  alfred merrall

she was Daisy Doig  when she married Raymond G Gouge in 1908 reference no 4572
he died in 1909

so it is possible that  there could be children  to  this  union  as well 

Maybe alfred  divordced Daisy?

regards Jenn

Thank you - you are all very kind and helpful.  ;D

Jenn, his cause of death was chronic myocarditis.  He was born in Leicester, England - 1884, Jan quarter, Leicester 7a 202.

Eds - any information about Alfred, Daisy and/or children would be great, thanks.

Debbie - that would explain why no children listed.  Would I have to order a transcription to find out where Nancy would be buried or would there be cemetery near Waverley?

Thanks again.

Hi Fek33,

There is a major cemetery at Waverley.  Has fantastic views over the ocean.

The website is here:  http://www.waverley.nsw.gov.au/cemetery/, however they don't seem to have a database of burials on it.
