Where Is He Buried in NSW
« on: Tuesday 02 October 18 17:51 BST (UK) »
I am searching for the burial site of LAWRENCE WILFRED HAGUE, JR. born 1916, died 2 July 1968 in Redfern, NSW.  On his death certificate, it indicates the cemetery, Field of Mars, but searching that site online, I can find no record of his interment.
Can someone please help me find exactly WHERE he is buried?   Thanks for your help.

I’ve phoned the cemetery and they couldn’t find him on their computer.

I have sent an email, as they suggested, and they will check their handwritten books.

Morning:  One and the same, Wilfred/William.   Death certificate has him listed as William, though his baptismal records have Wilfred, Jr.  as does his military records and other documentation.  I believe this is just a mistake by the informant.
Thanks for contacting Field of Mars.

If you put (just) Hague into the search field you will find him there in the C of E section plus details.

Yes,  excellent, it now shows that entry. It must be as a result of the email Jamjar sent as it was not included in that index back several days ago.

Thanks to EVERYONE who responded and contacted Field of Mars.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated.  Interestingly, Lawrence changed his religious denomination from Church of England to Roman Catholic while in the military, and yet he was buried in the C.of E. section anyway.  Again, many thanks.

Hi again.. having worked on WW1 research projects its possible that whoever took his details when enlisting ( eg next available private!) made the error of RC instead of C of E as the men did not fill in the forms themselves, they just signed. Lots of men, army in a hurry to provide troops.
