Title: Photo request - St Kilda Cemetery
Post by: Sally_404 on Thursday 03 October 13 15:22 BST (UK)

Would it be possible for someone to take a photo of a couple of graves in Melbourne's St Kilda Cemetery? The graves are in the Church of England section of Compartment B, which according to this map:
http://stk.smct.org.au/Assets/Files/St%20Kilda%20Map-V3_DPMG%20-%20FINAL.pdf
is in the north west quarter of the cemetery.  The graves are those of Mary Frayne(c 1830-26 Nov 1907) and John Frayne(1825-27 Apr 1900) and are numbered 168 and 169 respectively.
with thanks,
Sally

Hi Sally.

I am also researching this line of Frayne's and in particular Nathaniel which is I think the eldest son of John and Mary Frayne who died in NSW.

Hi,
I'm descended from Joseph, their second son. I'll PM you with more information.
