Hello Roscow

A further note of possible interest to your research -

    * The remains of some 391 persons [of c.5000 burials] 'salvaged' from the former North Brisbane Paddington Cemetery were re-buried at Toowong Cemetery with an accompanying plaque.

    * The Toowong Cemetery re-burial site consists of 2 similar-size compartments - one was occupied by the 'subject coffin' and the other compartment by the remains of the remaining 390 burials.

The 'subject coffin' is the one that I have been researching in conjunction with the UofQ Archeologists.

FYI
