COMPLETED: Off to take photos at Rookwood, this weekend.

I'll be out at Rookwood most likely, tomorrow, but possibly Sunday.

I'm happy to do headstone hunting.

Oh Jamjar ;D

I'd be most grateful if you see if there is a headstone for the following
Anastatia FLANAGAN
Mortuary 2
Area 2
Grave 1972

In the "nice" mown part I think :D

Many thanks
Annie

I know the feeling.  :(

Is that the correct spelling of her name?

There are two E's. I'm hoping it the easier of the 2. Not that I mind either.  ;)

Well sometimes spelt as Anastasia, Jamjar

EDIT: death entry was for Anastasia

Hi Jamjar,

I would be most grateful if you could see if there is a headstone for Ann McGrath. She was buried in the Anglican section of the cemetery in 1884.

Thanks and regards,

Elfie ;D

Oh, the Anglican section. My favourite area.  ;)

For your records:

Area   Anglican(AN)   
Section   R
Grave No:1082

Date of interment:    27/10/1884

I don't like my chances. The area in which she is buried is Crown Land and was used for public burial. I wonder if it means for people who couldn't pay to be buried.

I'll check it out, but if the grass is too long and the graves are to scarce, I'll never find a number for the grave.

 ;) Ah yes, the Anglican section.

So the R stands for Crown Land? What you said would account for why the rest of her family are buried together in Rookwood Independent (Old Ground). I am still waiting for her death certificate, but from what I have gathered her family was not financially well off.

Thanks Elfie :)
