Australia / Boroondara Cemetery record query.
« on: Monday 14 February 22 08:12 GMT (UK) »
Please could someone offer an explanation on the term 'placement" in relation to a record I've found for a family grave.
I am looking at records of four extended family members buried at Boroondara General Cemetery, the burial date of two of them is recorded as burial and the burial dates fit with their dates of death. The other two are recorded as placement, one died in April 1959 and the burial record says placement 6 April 1961, the other died December 1983 and placement 26 Jan 1984.
The only explanation I have come up with is placement means ashes placed in the grave. Am I on the right track and is there a way of confirming this if I am.
Many thanks.

Thanks again Keyboard86. Have this baptism and parents William and Jane Bright in the 1841 & 1851 census. Eliza isn't with the family in 1841 and in 1851 she is living in Acton.

Thank you, very helpful.
If I'm on the right track, the father of George Edward (spouse of Eliza Bright) was also named George Edward and died in 1840.

The Common Room / Goble Marriage 1854 or 1855?
« on: Friday 12 February 16 09:53 GMT (UK) »
I'm pondering on two marriages records for George Edward Goble and would like some help deciding which of the two is more likely relevant to my research. (Or are both of them 
)
From the both the 1861 & 1871 census I know the spouse of George Edward Goble (b. about 1830 Rolvenden, Kent) was Eliza (born about 1828 Willingale, Essex). They are enumerated as residing at Finchley and Finchley Park, Middlesex.
I appear to have a choice of two marriage records ................ June 1854 St Pancras, 1b 80 and 1855 Chelmsford, Essex 4a 131. There is another record for a marriage of George Edward Goble in 1854 with two other prospective spouses which I have discounted as neither have the forename of Eliza.
Any thoughts would greatly appreciated

The Lighter Side / Re: totally tempted to tell
« on: Saturday 21 November 15 10:26 GMT (UK) »Is there anyone with an 'in' to people who write articles for popular FH magazines, who could write something about this which would perhaps alert sloppy researchers to take more care?
I second this suggestion and add my own suggestion that Ancestry be petitioned to make the default for their Tree's Private. My thinking is a large numbers of public trees are only public because that is the default when a tree is started.

I'm happy with East Prahran. You've also given me another means of tracking down place name abbreviations.
Thanks Andy.

Could someone suggest what a Victorian place name abbreviated to Epra might mean, it doesn't appear on the two sites in the Vic Resources section.
