Australia / Re: Martha Walker
« on: Today at 04:06 »When Martha WALKER dies, 1878, there is someone around with enough interest in her to place a death notice in the newspaper.
For all that Martha is said to be well known in Rockhampton, I do not see anything in the newspapers for her before or after 1878.
And there is someone around to put a headstone on her burial plot? The headstone is large.....so intended for burials later that 1878 suggesting....other WALKER family?
Martha is the first?...and only?....burial in this plot?
Apart from inscriptions on the headstones, do you have access to cemetery records?

What is the earliest connection you see for Martha and Rockhampton?.

You have birth certificates?
For each birth certificate you have, can you please name the informant, and any addresses that you see.
