Geelong VIC Cemeteries
« on: Saturday 21 June 08 06:32 UTC (UK) »
Have just found this online (and found the resting place of one of my mystery people!).  Thought it might be helpful: - do you have a relative who "went missing", with the possibility he/she went off to the goldfields?  This is where many of the prospectors and their families were laid to rest: -

That's so generous of you, Scruffy!  Thank you!

I have a relative in Geelong Eastern - Mary Ann Tatham, ref 95242, C of E - but she may not have a headstone, so finding her may be difficult.  The website isn't working properly for me tonight, so I can't get the full "position" reference, it's just saying "COEO*X***X".

Mary Ann died in December 1857; she was the wife of Duncan Dunbar Tatham, and the mother of infants Justina and Duncan John.

Cheers
