Hi Ron

We have the Cootamundra Cemetery Inscriptions book that was released in 2011.  The book lists all graves with inscriptions on headstones and was transcribed by members of the local historical society.  Just to confirm, I've checked the book for the name Hickey and as you noted, there aren't any.

I think the only information you may get is from one of the funeral directors. You could try the funeral director Bruce Smith at Smith and Rinkin in Cootamundra, who may be able to help or give you some advice.  Bruce has been in Coota for many years and would be the best person to contact.  Their number is 02-69421028.

Good luck with your search.

Sharon

Thanks Sharon
Yes I have spoken with Bruce and yes a great person he was only able to tell me the dates of the funerals and their Register number but he had not see the actual Register. With this info I was lucky enough to locate the Burial Register for Cootamundra Sept 1884 to Aug 1940 in which I also found names, dates and cost of each of my families  burials but not the locations at the Cemetery. I have contacted Bruce and advised him of the location of the Register

regards
Ron
