Victorian Deaths

[lisa23]

Hi. I am looking for Mary Frances McKeogh's death (think it is 1925 in Oakleigh) and her husband Joseph Patrick McKeogh death (think he died 1958 in Oakleigh). I was mainly looking for burials for them. I have checked Springvale, Oakleigh, Fawkner, Boroondara. Their daughter Ellen Winifred McKeogh was buried in Melbourne Cemetery in 1928. So I was thinking they are with her. Does anyone have the Melbourne Cemetery burials they could check for me please.

You need to contact the Melbourne General Cemetery's office to find that information.  There is no published resource for MGC burials.

There are no headstones for your people of interest at Melbourne General Cemetery.

Ellen Winifred's death notice does not mention that her mother is deceased so perhaps Mary's death was later than 1928?  Usually death notices mention that a family member is already deceased and in this case Ellen's brothers mention has (deceased) next to his name.  However it may have no significance whatsoever!

The family are together on the 1924 electrol roll in Oakleigh, but Joseph Patrick is with other McKeogh's in 1931.

I think they are more likely interred with their daughter at MGC.

Hi Everyone. Thanks for all the information. I will email the MGC and see if they can help me. The death notice of Ellen Winifred is unusual because like you say doesn't mention that the mother is deceased. I also found some notices of Ellen's brother whom died in the war and they keep putting In Memoriam's in the paper but after 1925 Mary Frances is not mentioned. There are too many errors in Ellen's death notice. All the children had 2 names but they listed them all as individual names. Many thanks for your help.
