Thanks, Trish, for those kind words! :)  That trip outback is still resonating in my consciousness and will for a long time.

Thanks also, Trish and sparrett, for the links.  As a result of the link sparrett provided, I have been having a lovely time looking at photos of ancestors' tombstones in Sherwood Anglican Cemetery in Brisbane.  Excellent photos and transcriptions!

Toowoomba cemetery is one of those online.  Go to www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au and click on "Gravefinder".

Hi
I have had another request for a gravestone to be spotted ;D

Again this is for a lady living in N.Z this time.Unfortunately for me it is  Flaybrick cemetery/Memorial Birkenhead never been to it.Too far for me to go, as i don't drive.Does anyone live a bit nearer to it than me? Dawn has today sent me the sec/plot number, and would like photo if possible.I can put you in contact with dawn if you can do this.

Thanks to Keith Bateman for alerting me to this thread.   :)

Yes, Celia, I can most probably arrange a photograph of this plot, so long as Dawn isn't in a mad hurry (ie sometime over the next couple of weeks?).   Do you want to PM me the details?

cheers

Paul

I know Ireland is a big country,but if Scattletrap or anyone else who lives anywhere in ireland and goes walkies around cemeteries. I would be truly gratfull if you would keep  an eye open for any McCloy Name on any gravestons in any cemetery. I only got as far back as 1810 in glasgow,when my G.G.Grandaftherr Richard McCloy was born.Then later generations dispersed all over scotland. I am still no further on with his Father Alexander McCloy(died Scotland 1860)..Beacaus the line came to a full stop in 2001 due to no records being found of his birth in1792. I have a small reference somewhere on Ireland in regard to Alexander .It has also been suggested many times that Alexander May have come from Ireland. So as said any McLoys will do ;D
