Thanks, Meegan.

It's great that you've been getting some help during those chats!

If I ever get back to Oz I am definitely going to go and visit Rookwood and Woronora. My family was never interested in visiting the departed, but I would actually like to . . .

Darlene,

Thanks so much for this information.

With regard to Nellie Evans you mentioned, I wonder if you could give me the details there too please.     I know her husband's name was Bert, but there could be a William in his name as well.

I'm not sure of dates of death, but would imagine 1970's, it could be that they were cremated.

Darlene,

Thanks for that, not ours, but how strange that someone else has all those christian names the same as my aunt.
