Hi. Not sure how old this feed is but wanted to let you know that I researched and wrote a book on the Lunts Vale Cemetery at Little Billabong, NSW. This is the same cemetery that shows on the may adjoining Henry Adams's Inn where Patrick Carr was taken. The vast majority of the graves are unmarked. The cemetery is now in the median strip of the north and south bound  lanes of the Hume Highway approx. 30 klms north of Holbrook. Did you ever have any luck obtaining a death certificate for him? I did not come across his name in my research. Cheers.

Hi Cheryl, No was never able to locate a death or burial registration unfortunately.  Was fortunate I managed to obtain the information I did. Thank you for your information, I like you am still keeping an eye out for some clue as to his whereabouts. Thank you for this information and should I ever find more information will let you know.

I wonder if there are any details at the NSW Archives on the Inquest into Deaths index cards for him?

I have been doing some more searching since your post ....😒😢.....time wasting!!!! You would think he would have been registered for a death as was well documented in papers. I am in the West so makes it difficult to search, the NSW register searched for me with no result (well hope they did!).
Do you have relative interest in the Lunt's Dale Cemetery? Reading the Winston-Dunstan Biography of Two Villages between 1847 and 1873 as many as 140 bodies are buried there in unmarked graves in this remote area, was suggest the strength of the beer could have been the cause. LOL.

Hi Suzi. In my research I confirmed 47 burials for the Lunts Vale Cemetery and have all of their individual death certificates. When Jonathon Winston-Gregson did his groundwork for his thesis, he used what was called a "sounding stick". Unfortunately this method does not differentiate the difference between an old rabbit burrow/warren, tree root etc. so in the scheme of things now and with modern technology the sounding stick is not considered to be accurate at all. Even on the 1858 map the cemetery in todays measurement is 45m x 83m. In April of this year I launched my book "Stuck in the Median Strip .... Remembering Those Buried at Little Billabong, NSW" at the Little Billabong Public Hall. It was well attended. I also had two notice boards erected at the rest area. One is a brief history of the district and the second is all the names and dates of death of the confirmed burials. I will keep looking.
