George is buried at the same location as Joseph at Bendigo Cemetery.
http://www.bencemtrust.com.au/search.aspTo help your friend I have downloaded George's death cert...and it is a typical example of how one shouldn't base information on death certificates as fact.
George died on 30 Jun 1904 in the Bendigo Hospital from influenza and pneumonia 3 days. His was a miner whose father was Joseph NEWTON and mother Mary NEWTON maiden name REDDEN. He was buried in the Bendigo Cemetery on 3 Jul 1904 and the informant was the undertaker Thomas SAYER. George was born at Arnold Street, Bendigo and spent 7 years in Qld and 21 in Victoria.
I initially dismissed this registration as not being your George as according to the certificate, he married Alice
FOSDYKE in Charters Towers when he was 21 years of age and issue of the marriage were Mabel 6 years and Bertram 4 years.
Taking into account that both George's parents were deceased I wonder who gave the undertaker the information. I assume that Mabel is Frances Mabel b. 1898 and Bertram is George Herbert born 1900.
Unfortunately Qld certs are expensive. What is the name of George's brother from whom your contact is descended?
I can find no marriage for a George
NEWTON to an Alice
FOSDYKE anyone on the Qld bdm's.
What do other chatters think?
