Hi
Glancing through your previous posts I gather you are looking for photos of headstones at St Kilda Cemetery.

If  they exist I may be able to help with a transcription of wording on Monumental Inscriptions there, but not photo.

Hi Roflia 

Transcriptions of the MI's at St Kilda was completed in 1987 and and there are many entries where the transcriptions are noted as being almost illegible or headstone crumbling etc and at least some of the inscription has been noted as that date. 

Today those headstones may not exist as they may have been deemed to be unsafe and removed.

I have found the graves at St Kilda cemetery can be hard to find as not all are numbered and for the ones that are, the number was engraved into the stone which had since been eroded by the weather which makes it very hard to find and read.  For my family I have two numbered graves to get an idea of the numbering system in that section and simply counted up to the number of the grave I am trying to find and assume that the vacant bit of earth is the grave I am after or cheer silently when I find a headstone.

I'll send you a PM

No need to keep it a secret!
If you want someone to go all over St Kilda cemetery taking photo's, it would help if you have the numbers and referances if Possable
Then they might know what they are getting onto
From Cando's post they might find their is nothing but a plot of ground

if you my post it says I have the plot numbers

[Neil Todd]

What I meant in post was put the numbers up on Your Rootschat post and then those that have the information can see if there is any information on them IE Cando or Sue. If their is no information on them there is nothing to photograph because there is no headstone. If they are recent then there may be more of a chance.

Rootschat is a shared site where all can help! Getting off your posts to the PM system is confusing and no one ever knows if the subject has been achieved and completed.

My thoughts anyway
