Sorry Neil but I am new at this and don't understand threads etc. The questions I have asked previously were asking for info about Ephraim and Ellen but the look up I am asking for about rookwood cemetery is to try and find out what inscriptions if any are on her headstone if she indeed has one.. My apologies if I have gone about it the wrong way..

Ellen's funeral notices:

Do you know who all these people are?  Surely we can work out her correct surname from this.

Well, a memorial for Ellen in 1917 is from her daughter and daughter's husband "E., W., WILLCOX".

The daughter was Emily - her funeral notices (AKINES has changed to AKINS, and we are back to WILLCOCKS).

Some confusing relationships in there.

...and I can't find her death reg.  :P

Just a thought but i wonder if a email to the cemetery could be worthwhile. I have had terrific help from some cemeteries so hopefully Rookwood might be the same.

Neil ::)

Ellen was quite old when she married Ephraim and possibly had multiple previous marriages/relationships.
