**COMPLETED**** THANKS!!!!!Burial Lookup Melbourne Matilda GALE 1853

Feel a bit like I'm asking for someone to look for a needle in a haystack.....but, I'm trying to locate some information on the death of Matilda Gale (nee Turner) who died in November 1852 in the Melbourne area. She was born in Caversham Oxfordshire in 1824 and emigrated with her husband William Crook Gale aboard the Lady Macdonald, which arrived in Melbourne on 13 July 1852.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
thanks so much

Death
GALE
Matilda
Father Turner John Mother Mary
26 years Born Oxfordshire

Where did you source her date of death? I note this death of a child in 1853 but there is no birth registration.
GALE
Robert Mcwilliam
Father William Crook Mother Matilda TURNER
5 months Born Collingwood 1853 Reg#1849
Her death certificate will detail her place of burial. You can purchase online [$17.50] and immediately download an image of her death certificate.
Info on Vic certs

The first burial in the new Melbourne General Cemetery was on 31 July 1853 so a likely place of burial if she died in the inner Melbourne area would be here, if she died in the latter part of 1853 or the Old Melbourne General Cemetery, who no longer exists.

Claire you could contact Melbourne General Cemetery and ask if they can help with burial info for her in
1853
. One of my ancestors was buried in Nov 1853 and they were most helpful with information, however I did have the date of burial from his death cert.
mgcATnecropolis.com.au replace the AT with @
Good luck

Thanks for the tip about the cemetary. I just downloaded her death entry. looks like she died from dysentary, which she'd suffered with for 90 days. This was about the age of her newborn son when she died. He was probably sick also, which is why he died soon after.
thanks again!!
