Not getting much traction in location the burials of Sarah Frances Reeves nee Lyons & her husband James Dansey/Dunsey Reeves.

As per the QLD BDM electoral rolls Sarah's death was registered in 1984.  The 1980 Electoral Roll has Sarah & her husband, a salesman living at 24 Maryvale St Townsville.

I am unable to locate James death nor a burial and actually I am not getting much traction on them as a family. According to their marriage certificate James was born about 1896 in Penge, Kent, England and as yet I have not located his birth.

All assistance gratefully received.

Hello Gerry,

Thanks so much and rather interesting.

I am wondering if James Dansey Reeves age is correct and perhaps he is a son named after his father?  The record notes:

James Dansey REEVES, 62.
Buried, 3rd September 1992.

This would mean this James was born in 1930. James & Sarah were married in 1923 so this must be a son??

The person:

James George REEVES, 71.
Buried, 21st July 1967.

Would have been born about 1896 which lines up with what I know about James Dansey Reeves.

Your thoughts?

What other Reeves are buried there???  Does it give any indication of a relationship to Sarah & her husband??

Hello Gerry,

That worked a treat and many thanks.

I wonder if anyone will ever photograph the headstones?
