Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane
« on: Sunday 03 August 08 15:38 BST (UK) »
A person I am researching, namely Mary Jane Ritchie [Clee] died 5 August 1966 and buried 8 August in Toowong Cemetery.  Is there anyone with knowledge of this cemetery who could possibly take a photograph of her grave.

Hi Roy,


Ritchie Daniel  03 / 09 / 1945  69 years 
Ritchie Mary Jane  08 / 08 / 1966  92 years 

Brisbane City Council records show that more than one individual is buried in this grave. Their details are shown above.

Cemetery Details
Cemetery: Toowong Cemetery
Street Address: Cnr Frederick St and Mt Coot-tha Rd, Toowong 
UBD Ref: Map 158 N13 
Portion Section Grave Number
30  45  26/27 

Toowong Cemetery is very, very hilly so lets hope this grave is in a relatively flat area or I'll have to get the hiking boots out. Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Thanks Megan
Please see next post by Andcarred who has found the grave location.  I appreciate you all who have taken interest in this topic.  If you are able to take a photo while visiting the cemetery then by all means, without offending anybody I will be most grateful whoever sends me a photo.

Best regards

Hi Roy,

I found the grave and took the photos yesterday.   The grave was in a very accessible part of the cemetery so no problems.   It is a double grave and the wording on the headstones has deteriorated over the years but should be readable.  Slight problem with the downloading onto my computer but I will get them to you in the next few days.

Cheers,
