Hi Darlene, thanks for ure offer of help!

Don't know if u can help me but i do have a few names id liek checked out if possible. The dates are a bit vague i'l admit but i'm going on what i know...

Elizabeth HURST d abt 1880 aged roughly 30

Alfred HURST d either 1940's or 50's was born in 1874

Also if there are other Alfred HURST's in 1970's or 80's i'd be interested in them also.

I know they might be a bit of a needle in a haystack case but thoguht it would be worth trying.

Thanks in advance for helping!
Jen :D

Hello,
This is the only Alfred Hurst I have found, died 7 June 1934 age 73 with his wife Alice died 8 December 1908 age 51.
Sorry..............

Cheers

Hi Darlene,  :D

I am searching for Sarah Matthews who I'm told was buried at Rookwood Cemetery.

Sarah Jane Matthews, (nee Carey)

Born about 1848 Middlesex/London

Died 2 August 1908 Waterloo Sydney

Married William Lea Matthews in 1867

Religion Church of England.

Thankyou Darlene,

margaret :)

I originally posted this on Census Lookup and Resource Requests Board a few days ago, which was the wrong board.  :-[

Hello Margaret,
I found a Sarah Matthews died 8 Aug 1912 age 57 with a William Matthews died 8 Aug 1912 age 57. As you can see by the above dates and ages there has most likely been a mix up with the transcription?
If you think they are yours then please let me know and I will post the grave details for you.
If not there are other Sarah's listed but none close to your death date?
I found one Sarah Jane Matthews died 1945 and her husband William Matthews died 1907.

Hope this helps?

Cheers
