Thankyou Lynda

Could it be pauper?  Meaning poor

[lynda conniss]

Thankyou for the reply
I thought it may be that but would it still be recorded as a paupers grave in 1975
I also have a  record that he died on the Murray river near 051 haven't got a clue what  that means

All places in NSW have code numbers.
015 is the number for Albury.

In case you are still wondering, yes PAUP does stand for Pauper. There are a couple of different Pauper sections in the cemetery. See this map:

If you emailed the cemetery they might be able to tell you if indeed it was a "pauper burial" or if this just a current name for the section.
