Bendigo Cemetery photo request
« on: Wednesday 29 June 16 10:09 BST (UK) »
Just checking if anyone in the Bendigo area has any plans to visit the cemetery sometime soon, would really appreciate some photos.

George Pallett 09 Apr 1878 - Section: Mon C3 Grave No: 3586
Thomas Pallett 20 May 1870 - Section: Mon C3 Grave No: 3586
Mary Ann Pallett 16 Apr 1909 - Section: Mon D3 Grave No: 3586
George Percy Wiseman Pallett 12 Jul 1890 - Section: Mon F3 Grave No: 11531
William Pallett 11 Dec 1894 - Section: Mon F3 Grave No: 13272

Also looking into William Pallett who married my 3rd great aunt Sophia (nee Cole). I found a Bendigo Weekly article from last year that has some information on him. It states he owned the Live and Let Live Hotel, located in High Street in late 1880 and also the Royal Hotel at 10 Forest Street around the same time. The Royal Hotel closed in 1916. William died in Bendigo in 1894 (will have to try and get a photo of the headstone one day) and his wife Sophia ran it for a while before transferring the licence in 1902 and she later moved to Albury. Does anyone by chance have photos of these two pubs from around 1880?

I will probably be going past the cemetery in the next week.
Don't get your hopes up too high though, that section of the cemetery has very few marked graves remaining, there are a few but its mostly just featureless stony ground now.
I will see what I can do.

I wonder if anyone has the resource for the photos of headstones in Bendigo Cemeteries?

https://www.bendigograves.com/

It would save Paul searching for unmarked graves in mostly just featureless stony ground

This group MAY be able to help with photographs.

I have those photos for you, you struck the jackpot.
The family must have been fairly well off, unlike my great grandmother and her baby twins buried in the same section with nothing to mark the spot, probably just a wooden cross that is long gone.

That Mon C3 grave 3586 is stacked with people.
G. Percy W. Pallet is the only one in a family sized plot.
William Pallet's headstone looks as though his wife left room for herself but wasn't buried there, (remarried?) The inscription at the bottom is almost impossible to read because of the black algea but could be picked out by doing a rubbing, from what I could make out it basically says that they would be together again in the tomb.

Thanks to the very helpful volunteer Sexton for pointing me in the right direction.
As Cando mentioned the Bendigo family history group has a wealth of information as well.
There is a Pallett St in Eaglehawk which may be named after one of your family, possibly George as he was a builder and may have been subdividing ground.
PM me your Email address.

Great news Paul. :)

I find it so frustrating searching bare ground for at least a grave location.

I've had great help in the past from the family history group.
