Maud Mary PARSONS nee CROWLEY bur/d 7 Dec 1910 MAREEBA PIONEER CEMETERY
« on: Sunday 05 November 17 04:11 GMT (UK) »
A long shot I know but nonetheless here goes.

I am missing some detail concerning Maud Mary PARSONS nee CROWLEY bur/d 7 Dec 1910 at Pioneer Cemetery, Mareeba, Queensland.  Maud was the first wife of Ernest Howard PARSONS. 

I haven't  been able to locate a memorial/head stone for Maud and wonder if anyone goes to the Mareeba Pioneer Cemetery and if so who might be able to take a photograph of Maud's headstone [assuming it still exists].

Maud was the only daughter of John William CROWLEY and Mary KEATING whom, at one stage owned Curraghmore Station.

Thanks

Westy

Mareeba Pioneer cemetery has been indexed and photographed here

http://austcemindex.com/cemetery.php?id=536
Mareeba Pioneer Cemetery appears to have been established shortly before the turn of the 19th century. It contains inscriptions that range from 1896 to 2007. Approximately two-thirds of the burials here are unmarked.

Complete as at 2009-11-30 Inscription Count 2624 Image Count 873


The inscriptions/photographs are here

There is no picture for Maud Mary Parsons - so probably no headstone.

Hi Westy
Saw your post about Maud Mary Crowley and her headstone.  I have found that in some cases headstones were not erected due to lack of funds.  I am not directly related to Maud Mary, however my GGgrandmother Mary Groves was John Crowley's 2nd wife.  I have been looking for members of the family from both marriages.  Are you related through the 1st or 2nd marriage?
