Look up, Rookwood Cemetery..

I wonder if EPHRAIM was the informant on ELLEN's Death Certificate.

Whoever it was. It would be interesting to see what they knew about  ELLEN.

Hi Cando.. I am a little confused.. In one of your posts yesterday you mention Emma Mansfield buried 20 June 1916 and I think you said that Emma was your mum and then you posted again and said "typo" should be Ellen..
I called Rookwood Cemetery yesterday afternoon enquiring about Ellen and I was told that Ellen is indeed buried there but the date of her burial was June 29 1916.. Interestingly, they also told me that there are two others buried with her at the same site. Can you enlighten me at all???

Excuse me butting in - Cando is not related, she is a very clever researcher on the forum.

The "My mother" is the inscription on the grave of Ellen.  On  the gravestone it says ...


Ellen MANSFIELD
20 June 1916  72 years
My Mother

Emily WILLCOCKS
11 Feb 1922  61 years
My wife

William WILLCOCKS
6 Oct 1931  80 years
Husband of above

Thank you for that Ros.. I didn't realise the information was from the gravestone and it was obvious that Cando could not be Ellens child because of Ellens death being in 1916..

That's OK Kimmiedad - the information comes flooding in on this forum  (they are so clever  )
and it's often too fast to absorb properly for most of us.

cheers,
