I am very happy with all the replies I received. Thank you very much everyone.

Yes, I thought it was. I’d say someone has erred in their recording of the information.

To be fair to the Billion Graves website....nowhere on the page for Minnie is noted War Cemetery.  Only notes her entry as Karrakatta and gives the GPS and map.  Of course I may have missed it and admit I often do....put it down to my age     I am actually a contributor/member of Find a Grave and Billion Graves so am quite familiar with the layouts etc. I visited the page and turned the image of Minnie and Charles' headstone so it was easier to read and added Minnie's former married and maiden names.

Rachael Rebecca Nierses was born 16 January 1908, bap 31 January 1908 both at Jamalpur, Bengal. Father Charles Alfred Nierses and mother Lisette Agnes Nierses. Rachael married 1937 at Delhi, India James Henry Burchell. I could not find any relationship but they were all Armenians, mostly in Calcutta, India (pre-partition) which was at Independence in 1947.

Jacob Catchic Nierces is the beginning of the line for my research on this line. Scroll down on the link below to find Nierses.

It’s been changed on Billiongraves since we posted. However, you still get her in Perth War Cemetery on a Google search.

Thank you Jamjar.

Since there is an interest in the Nierses name only three Nierses of this line  have been found by me in England. Terrance Eustace Nierses, and  his sister Phoebe Estelle Nierses (Mrs Gordon Oliver Kerr) and the mother of the above Mabel Blanche Stark (Mrs William Arratoon Nierses). Widow Mabel died Hammersmith area, London (possibly Shepherds Bush), abt June 1937 and Mr and Mrs Kerr both died in England 1981. All were born in India except for Gordon Kerr.
