Got a reply from Port Pirie regional council and they said it's def. a private grave so that's a relief.

Hi Bevan5540

Welcome to rootschat ;D

The Council has updated the website as when I searched previously for maryland004, Joseph's 1943 burial record was not listed.  They do have a notice on the cemetery database that not all records are listed.

I think the grave may be unmarked as his burial is not noted on the website which has photos of headstones etc. at Pt Pirie.

Cheers

Hi yes that would be great. Hope I;m not too late. Regional council confirmed it is a private grave with  lease that runs out in 2045. As you quote, lot 95 grave 1  is the location. I'd have thought if it was private it would have some kind of marker, someone paid for the lease so the3y mut have cared about him, Anyway if you can have a look that would be fab.

hi again. Yes I have been to the cemetery and the grave site was easy to find. It is an unmarked private site. A mound of earth only. Having a look was no problem as I was on my way there anyway.
