Ballarat cemetery..Who is in the grave?
« on: Sunday 05 February 12 09:15 GMT (UK) »
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a bit of a mystery! I have a George Snowball died 1906 buried in a grave with a Monica Ruth Usher. I can't work out the connection between them. Any help much appreciated,

Hi Annette, according to her death notice in the Argus, Monica Ruth Usher died 11 Nov 1874, aged 15, so I'm guessing it was just a case of re-using the grave some 30+ years later on and that there was no relationship.  Dazey

Hi Annette

A bit strange isn't it?

Monica Ushers father, mother, brother and sister are all buried in
Area A Section 4 Row 2 Grave 1
Why not her?

I can't see any relationship between Monica and the Snowball family.

Given that the age on the cemetery database is incorrect, I wonder
if there has been an error in the entry of the details.  ???

Maybe contact them and see what they say.... I'm not much help I'm afraid  :-\

Thanks for the help. I will contact the cemetery. There is a link I think through the Murphy line but I just can't work it out.
