Goobang Cemetery

Hi. I'm looking for transcriptions for Goobang Cemetery (near Parkes NSW). Nothing shows up on the internet, but from what I can see of old Rootsweb mailing list archives, the transcriptions are about, and held by a lady named Julie.
The person in the cemetery I am looking for is Ann Durkin died 1877. Could be under the name of Ann Johnston.

Shelley, suggest contact local FH group, if not successful here.

If you Google Parkes family history group you'll get various ways to do this.
Try Forbes fh  also.

They may have a copy of the transcript or at least know who you should contact for the info.

Hi Shelley,
So you are quite certain that the Goobang Cemetery is her place of burial?

Thanks Sue. I'm doing this for a friend, and she says that Ann's previous husband of over 20 years was buried there 2 years earlier (George Bartlett). Also, Ann died in the same area.

Hi Shelley

A little more from an online tree

Death  27 Apr 1875  43 years
No Mistake Lead, Parkes, New South Wales
George died of "exhaustion from general breakup of his constitution" which he was said to have had for 5-6 years. He was buried at Goobang Creek cemetary.
On George's death certificate it says his children were illegitimate.

I can't see a date that this report was written

There is no MI transcription at GOOBANG for Ann DURKIN, JOHNSTON or BARTLETT.

Ann's death is registered at PARKES as Ann J DURKIN:

DURKIN Ann J d. 1877 age 46yrs PARKES #5206

Julie Dern is the lady who did the transcriptons 15/10/1999.

Thanks very much for that information, Merlin.

Cando, missed your reply before. Sorry. Thanks for that information.
Emails to Julie (possibly old email address) come back "undelivered." 
Cheers
