Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane, QLD
« on: Wednesday 30 December 09 02:19 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone live near Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane?  My great grandfather is buried there and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to take a photo of his grave for me?  I am not 100% sure if there is a headstone or not but I'm hoping so!

His name is Alexander Morrison Coventry and his plot is:

Portion 5, Section 4, Grave Number 14

Alexander died 6/1/1944 and was buried 11/1/1944.

There may also be the name Peter Hanson on the grave. 

I'm in Melbourne so if anyone would be willing to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Kind regards,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

I do not see a MI for either of these gentlemen so you may be out of luck with a monument. (No Coventry's at all)

Good Luck.

Cheers Kris  :)

Hi Andrea,

I live near Toowong Cemetery and would be happy to take photo if the rain every stops.  Not complaining about the rain as we need it so badly.

I realise that this thread hasn't been visited in a few years, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed ......

I'm looking for photos of the gravestone of:

Samuel Meuros McCall, died 5th October 1935 age 50 & Daisy McCall, died 10th January 1929 age 43.

They are both interred in the same grave: Portion 8, Section 23, Grave No. 24, Toowong Cemetery.

I'd be really grateful in anyone could find the time to help me out.

Anne

P.S. I have a copy of an aerial view showing the location if it would be of any help.

Hi,

Sorry I can't help this time as we have moved away from Brisbane in our retirement.

Hi Andcarred,

Thanks for your reply.

I'll keep hoping there's a Rootschatter in the area who doesn't mind a wee wander around cemeteries!

If you don't get any joy from a volunteer at the website Cando gave you, try G....gle for Friends of Toowong Cemetery.  They don't say they will take photos but they may know someone who will.

I know at least one person in the organisation who is into FH so might do it.
You can only ask.
