Hi. Can someone check for Evelyn Hope Finn in the Ballarat Cemetery. She died in 1967 in Ballarat.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Lisa,
I have searched the Database of Old and New Ballarat Cemetery and the Crematorium and cannot see the name.

The only female burial with similar criteria.....
Finn, Mrs Annie 17/7/1967 aged 91 years.
Others may be more successful.

Hi Sue,

Would you be so kind to do a look up for me?  I have two brothers that I know buried in Ballarat; John ROBERTS died 29 Jul 1867 and Jeff ROBERTS died 20 Aug 1894. I have both their death certificates.  On John's death certificate a brother named Thomas ROBERTS from Ballarat East is the informer.  I have searched through the index and cannot find Thomas. I do not know if the brothers are buried together, but I am hoping Thomas is not too far away. 

These three were born in County Kildare, Ireland to Henry ROBERTS and Alicia LOCKHART.

Thank you!

Hi Sue,

Thank you so much.  These brothers have been hard to locate. It looks like I will have to try ordering the records.  The BMD index for both of these Thomas Robert's do not list parents, so I was hoping the MIs and burial locations would give some sort of clue.  Thank you, again.
