Hi,
Fawkner is a very big cemetery which is on two sides of a main road, Epping on the other hand is a very little country cemetery. I have generations of ancestors at Fawkner and visit my mother, grandmother and g.grandmother quite often and am happy to take photos for others while I am there - I have taken 100's of photos since offering and know my way around Fawkner quite well now although a few still stump me now and then, especially when they are in public unmarked graves, trying to pin point where the grave actually is can take quite a bit of time but have never not found one yet (eventually). I have had some wonderful help from members on this site and this I feel is the least I can do to repay them back.
Regards,
Jillian

Hi Jenn,
Thank you for your kind words but it was my pleasure - for those who don't know who "Honest" John Gilbert was, he was a comedian on a show back in the early days of Black & White TV in Australia called Sunny Side Up, my grandmother, mother and myself all watched it religiously every week and were always in fits of laughter when watching the comedy skits with Sidney Heylen, "Honest" John Gilbert, Bill Collins and Rosie Sturgess - this was the least I could do for him after all the pleasure he gave my family so long ago. Rest in Peace John wherever you are, you were wonderful.
Cheers,
Jill

Hi Jillianstella,
Could you please send me a photo of a headstone now at Fawkner Cemetery.
The deceased, John Boucher originally buried at Old Melbourne Cemetery on 3rd June 1853 was re-interred at Fawkner Cemetery in January 1900. However another reader said it was probably moved in 1922.
The headstone gives the dec'd name as John Thomas Boucher and there's a reference on the stone regarding Tasmania.
I first found the headstone photo on billiongraves as part of ancestry Library Edition, alas this has now disappeared from the LibraryEdition site.
Many thanks for your help. Can I help you with anything from Tasmania?
Kind regards

I also take photos for people in Western Australia, mainly Karrakatta Cemetery. It is very rewarding giving back
Would it be possible to take photos of:
Laura Eliza Peake
Fawkner Memorial Park
Rose Garden No.2 Comp Roses Y 300
If you could post them on billiongraves that would be great
Kind regards

Hi,
Your request is on my next list, I have never posted anything on billiongraves before but will give it a try. I'll let you know when i've been.
Cheers,
Jillian

Hi Shorttie6
I have photos for you of Laura & Herbert Peake's plaques but I take photos with a camera not a phone - have no idea how to upload from my computer to Billiongraves, looks like the site requires for them to be done through a phone app. If you would like to pm me with an email address i'll send them off to you asap.
Cheers,
Jillian
