I  have re-read all postings and I can't see reference to Sarah Jane Gilmore. Where is she hiding?

I wonder why Benjamin wasn't buried with them? 

Is that everyone now?

Sarah Jane COLE must have been born a Catholic. This may be why she chose to be buried in the Catholic Section.  I think around then, and well in to the 20th century, there was a strong division between Catholic and Protestant religions so religious beliefs may have overridden family.

Sarah COLE (GILMORE)'s birth would appear to be around 1839. No GILMORE on NSWBDM but a Sarah GILMER for 1839 with parents William and Jane which may be her misspelt.

I think you have all provided me with enough information to start putting it together. Thanks everyone for your contribution. Have a great New Year.

Yes, there was a strong division where death and marriage was concerned. I'm wondering if Benjamin wasn't catholic also.

I don't know if something happened in the family over religion  but I remember as youngsters, if we wanted to really stir Lionel up, we would ask his opinion of the Pope or Catholics. That was enough to get him going on a tirade for about five or ten minutes! Ha Ha.
