Thats ok

Bit hard to read now but the headstone has done quite well for having to deal with our Tasmanian weather for all those years.

Hi Johngirl

With a bit of manipulation I think I got it all except for a word before maria which was just too weathered to read.

This is what I picked up.

Erected to the memory of / JAMES CUTHBERTSON / Native of Darlington / County in Durham England / who departed this life / August 1 - 1899 / In his 70 th - Year /  ? MARIA, / beloved wife and mother / Died February 5 1909 / In her 81st Year.

Hi Johngirl

I wonder if I could take you up on the offer of that headstone search, the people I'm interested in is;.

 Thomas HEDGES, dob Abt 1792, death July 28 1880, Hobart, burial Sandy Bay Cemetery 1/8/1880. Convict arrived Almorah & Pilot 1817.

Mary Ann Elizabeth Hedges, dob abt 1796, death 15 May 1858 Hobart buried 20th at?

I found both lots of death details in trove.

I believe Mary Ann Elizabeth Hedges is Ann Elizabeth hedges nee HARWOOD  also alias Elizabeth Adams convict arrived Morley 1820. But they had a turbulent early history together and it may be another person entirely

just in case others are following the hedges family, can you reply on post "Death of John HEDGES dob 1821?"

Hi Robert,

The Sandy Bay Cemetery or Queenborough Cemetery as it was known was closed in 1944 and the land redeveloped(I think it is now part of the Hutchins School Sports Ground  )There are a few headstones that were relocated to the Cornelian Bay cemetery so I will go take a look for you in the next few weeks.(just concentrating getting the children back to school this week  ;D0I will also go to the library and see if I can find where abouts your Mary is buried.As she passed on quite a fews years ago the Cemetery she would have been buried in probably has been made into a carpark but I will check for you as some of the very early Cemetery`s still do exist.
