ANY RChatter going to Rookwood need camera & fh outside the square thinking

And a big thank you from me as well 

I have checked all the 1883 Jane MI's at Rookwood and there is nothing for Jane NAPTHALI in that year so no headstone.

Cass I think there should be a Row number for the location ie Catholic Mortuary 1 Section 6  Row ** Grave#466

Ah...Adjoining burial sites to James NAPTHLIA - from the website

This should help 

Catholic Old Mortuary 1  Section C  Row 18  Grave#467

Should be easy to locate if the headstone is still there as the MI's were transcribed between 1981 and 1992.

As a point, Jane Napthali's (Nee Batwell)  husband was James Napthali.

He died in 1885 reg no: 3084.  (Leichardt).  Searches so far have not turned up where he is buried.  I have ordered a transcript of his death certificate in the hope it may turn up something,

The lass did not mention the row number, but glad you found it. I don't think the Cemetery records rows only grave numbers,  next question how do the row numbers run. I see from the Rookwood disk that the Haplin grave appears to be on the end of a row, so it should not take much trouble to find the grave. From Google Earth Section C looks to be small with only about 30 rows of graves.

Hi Everyone, 

My OH followed up on Andrew, any sudden death ought to be subject to an Inquest.   

Andrew's inquest was held 18 August, in Sydney with H Shiell presiding.   Andrew’s death noted on the index as 7 August.  He was aged 30, born United States.  He died at Waterloo.  The verdict sadly shows he took his own life.   

  But the admin details also show that there were delays between when the death occurred and when the coroner was able to schedule the formal inquest.   
  Oh says that I should also mention that the City Coroner was not hearing these cases in a formal court room, but on location.   
  So for example, a death at PA Hospital, the inquest was noted as held at Camperdown; a death at Sydney Hospital was noted as held Sydney; a death onboard a Schooner was noted as held Sydney; a death at Forest Lodge, inquest held Forest Lodge; a death at Darling Harbour, …. Inquest at Sydney;  death Millers Point, inquest Sydney:

  So my OH went through the index (almost chronological order ) from June to Oct 1883, none found that could be for Jane.   

This suggests to both of us at least, that perhaps she had been attended to by a Medico and that he was able to certify her death without the need for an inquest.  The burial register at Rookwood may be the only 'official' record available. 

Cheers,  JM
