Does anyone know if a burial record or search exists for this cemetery?

My relative died on Penrhiwfer Road, Williamstown 1906, while visiting relatives. She doesn't appear on the Trealaw search, which is where I thought she was.

Soar is just 1.4km from where she was staying.

Her parents and siblings are interred in Abersychan, I'm unsure if this would be too far for them to have returned her remains to be buried with them.

Miss Elizabeth Holmes, died: 13 Feb 1906 (aged 22)

Many thanks

Thanks Allan!

This is likely the closest i will get.

‘The Adelaide was a 640-ton teak sailing ship built in Calcutta in 1832. The owner was J Somes of London. In 1839 it sailed to New Zealand under Captain William Campbell. It was among a group of ships carrying settlers which were to rendezvous at Port Hardy on d'Urville Island on 10 January 1840. They were sent after the Oriental. The others in the group were the Aurora, Duke of Roxburgh, and Bengal Merchant, plus a freight vessel, the Glenbervie. At the rendezvous they were be told of their final destination. The Adelaide had 176 settlers on board. She sailed from London on 18 September 1839 and arrived at Port Nicholson on 7 March 1840. She arrived at about 4pm in the company of the Tory and Glenbervie.
She made three voyages bringing convicts arriving on 8 August 1849 (300 to Port Phillip, Tasmania), 16 April 1855 (260 to Western Australia), and 13 May 1863 (210 to Gibraltar, Australia).’

The ship Aurora was also used as a convict ship. The Aurora was a three masted barque, a reasonably fast sailing ship of the day.

‘My’ convict was transported on the Aurora in 1835 and carried 300 convicts, the Adelaide carried 304 convicts so it is highly possible that the Adelaide was also a barque. The image attached is of unknown sailing barque from that era.

Looking for the plot number of my sister who died at birth. Apparently she was buried at Griffith General cemetery.

There is no marker and we’d like to do one.
