Hi OzyBob

You can search Perth & surrounds burials at the Metro Cemeteries board site:
http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/search.php

I've found Edward's burial at Karrakatta (main cemetery):
PRETTY, Edward age 63       Died  20/11/1913        MUNDARING 
Pretty, Helen Jane  97        12/04/1945        SUBIACO 

Also:
Helen Blanche 45        20/08/1926        MUNDARING 
No sign of Norman or Frank.  There are a few others who might be connected too.

I may be going to Karrakatta tomorrow.  I could look for them if you like?

Cheers, Jane

Hi there OzyBob,

You may like to contact the 2 'Pretty' families listed in the White Pages (Perth).
Also - the 'The West Australian' newspaper has a 'Can You Help' page on Mondays  (canyouhelp[at]wanews.co.au  ).

Hi OzyBob

Couldn't find any WALKER or PRETTY graves but I did find one of your BARKERS graves (3 in 1 grave).  However your ISP doesn't seem to like my ISP and is blocking the e-mail so I'll have to post the pics here instead

Cheers,
