Lost in Queensland (I think!!)

Monumental Inscriptions at the STANTHORPE CEMETERY mention 18 or 20 PIERPOINT's by name.

I am happy to provide the details if they are of interest

Hi Trishhh

Sorry about the delay in replying to your post, but Christmas and New Year happened to get in the way. 
Thanks for information - I'll add it to my collection which is in dire need of some attention. I have used the Australian newspapers (before it became Trove) to find out quite a lot about the family and I know that there are many more articles, some of which I have downloaded and again I need to check what I have and what I need to download.

Hi Gerry
Thanks for the information. Again, my apologies for the delay in posting my reply.
I believe that George and family worked on the railway until it reached Toowoomba and then for some reason left - whether it was a voluntary decision to leave the Queensland railway or whether it was forced I don't know. It could have been the lure of the goldfields at Stanthorpe, but whatever the reason the family seemed to have made a success of their lives in Stanthorpe.

Hi Sue
 
Sorry about the delay in my reply.
I would be interested in the monumental inscriptions in Stanthorpe cemetery, if you can find the time. I already have a photo of George and Harriet's headstone.
