William & Catherine BRIDGES
« on: Friday 05 December 14 05:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Can't find burials for either William or Catherine !
I have tried all the indexes & sites I can think of  :(
William BRIDGES died Dec 23 1884, Brunswick, Victoria.  Father Daniel.  Mother Sarah Covington (Coventon)
Catherine BRIDGES (Olley) died 1872 Melbourne, Vic.  Father George Olley.  Mother Jane Bland
Found an entry on Trove in The Argus 31 Dec 1872  which states her death in the Benevolent Asylum, of a tumour.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Melbourne General Cemetery seems a likely place.

You have a dod for Wm.  Where did that come from? 

Death certificates detail where and when buried.

Good morning!
Thanks for your replies.
Cando, I found William's death details on a site called firstfamilies2001, many years ago !
I was just helping out a contact who is writing a book about the Bridges family & didn't want to purchase the certificates myself :-\

Cheers,
Lynne

Why not send an email to the Melbourne General Cemetery.

Had a reply from Melbourne general,  both buried in the Wesleyan section. In unmarked graves.  Thanks for the suggestion Cando.

That's OK...not many cemeteries in the inner suburbs in 1870's and 1880's.  Always worth asking as their customer service is excellent.

Cheers :)
