Mount Gravatt Qld., Cemetery Records - EDWARDS
« on: Thursday 05 July 12 02:40 BST (UK) »
I am hoping that sks with access to Mount Gravatt records can tell me if there is any more data available on the two following internments:

Estelle EDWARDS 15 May 1981 age 71

James EDWARDS 23 Sep 1987 age 79

I believe they are in the same grave so any information on any MI would be very helpful.

Estelle was nee OLSEN and my grandmother's sister

Thank you

The cemetery records themselves will not indicate whether or not there is an MI.

You appear to have taken the information from the online database

http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/community/community-support/funeral-planning-and-grave-search/grave-location-search/index.htm

Mt Gravatt Cemetery -   Lawn,  Portion L7,  Grave#669
EDWARDS James    Interred 23 Sep 1987    79 years
EDWARDS Estelle    Interred 15 May 1981    71 years


You would need someone to visit to see if their is a plaque.  Hopefully a chatter lives in the area.

Occasionally cemetery management offer a grave location photo service.  Perhaps give their office a call - 07 3403 7765.

Cheers

Hi Darryl (and Cando)

I can pop over to see if there is a headstone for Estelle and James. Maybe next week, if that's ok?

Thank you Cando and Ruskie for your replies.

The info does indeed come from the Brisbane City Council data base Cando, you have helped me before and thanks again.

Ruskie, that would be marvellous and very kind and generous of you, I look forward to hearing about what you find.

Hi Daryl,
I have been unable to get to the cemetery so far this week due to rain - I will see how it goes tomorrow if weather improves, but I do have a few things to do, so may not make it till next week. Hope this is OK.

Whew, I managed to get it to work!

I popped over to the cemetery between showers today. I have more images - if you would like more send me your email address, though there's not much of genealogical interest I'm afraid.

Hibiscus flower is from my garden ...  ;)
Area looks to have been recently mowed hence some grass on the plaque.

Thank you so much Riskie, its good to have the image with confirmation of dates. The middle name confirms that this is indeed my Great Aunt and her husband.
