William Davey THOMAS - Kangaroo Flat - Inscription?

[leccy]

Hello all!

Does anyone have access to inscription indexes for the Kangaroo Flat cemetery (Bendigo)? I understand that a lot of things have happened to the cemetery over the years.

I would like to know if there is a headstone/memorial for my ggg-grandfather William Davey THOMAS who died (in a traffic accident!) in 1907 and who, according to The Argus funeral notice was to be buried in Kangaroo Flat.

I couldn't find William Thomas listed.

His death was in Melbourne, so maybe he was buried down there??

I can see his death notice but not the funeral notice.

Yes, that's him!

There's a funeral notice a day or two later, which of course i cannot find now, which talks about the funeral leaving for Kangaroo Flat. Which appears to be where things end for the moment.

Oh well, I won't make a special visit but if I'm in that area I'll pop in and take a look

Thanks folks,

Les :-)

Les was his wife or other family member buried at Kangaroo Flat?  Perhaps you could see if he is buried at the same location.

Good idea!

I've just realised that I haven't traced his wife properly. Some more digging to do there.

Thanks for the nudge.

Les.
