*COMPLETED*Cemetry Records Victoria*COMPLETED*
« on: Monday 16 February 09 11:22 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone let me know where I can obtain cemetery records for the area around Ballarat, Bendigo.

 So far I can only find one Cemetary List for the whole of Victoria?

Many Thanks

Yes I am looking for those at Kyneton, my ggguncle Jesse STOPPS died at Kyneton in 1879 and I am trying to trace his sons George and William who were born in 1848 and abt 1850.

There is a family of STOPPS in St Arnaud who I am trying to connect with these. An Eric STOPPS died in 1956 and could be a link?

Links to  most cemeteries in Australia

http://www.ozgenonline.com/aust_cemeteries/

and Victoria

http://www.ozgenonline.com/aust_cemeteries/vic/vicsec2.htm#anchor238860

Unfortunately the two cemeteries you name do not have online data.  There is a contact for the Kyneton cemetery and an offer of lookups for the St Arnaud Cemetery.

Hi Barry

This is my favourite link for Oz cemeteries but only one in victoria so far. They are referenced on the site mentioned by terra
http://cemindex.arkangles.com/.   (This is probably the same  one that you mentioned finding)

I found a couple more children - apologies if you already have them

Didn't find William's birth but I found a death in NSW records
William Stopps infant 1847 ref V18471449 32B melb St James C of E

Baptism George Stopps Father Jesse mother Jane Sth Yarra 1849 ref 16544 St james Melb C of E
Baptism James Stops 1845 ref 14047 same parents and church
Baptism Lewis Stops 1847 ref 15348 same parents and church
Baptism Rebecca Stopps  1852 ref 17626 same parents and church

Trish

Edit: Some early Victorian bdms are also on the NSW site - until Victoria separated from NSW, I think. The church records are held in many libraries and research centres in Australia if you wish to check them.
I don't know if this is yours
James Stopps married Annie Sullivan 1869 ref 1328  (one of them listed born Melbourne)
There are also some children born to James and Annie Sullivan if relevant

Many Thanks for the information  -   however

Trish,
I have found the Infant death of William, he came with Jesse and Jane in 1844 with a sister Elizabeth who was born in1839,but William died at the age of 5.

I have also found George born in 1849, Rebecca born in 1852. Where did you find James and Lewis, I am unfamiliar with the references you gave this is a very good lead for me!!

I have also found another William born in 1878 to a Jane but this might be the wrong one as Jesse would have been 58 when he was born.

Regards

Barry M
