Offer:Toowoomba QLD Headstone Photos
« on: Wednesday 07 February 07 11:35 GMT (UK) »
Toowoomba burials are listed online at:

http://www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au/index.php?option=com_gravefinder&Itemid=46

If anyone finds an ancestor there and lets me know, I will go with my digital camera and take a photo of the headstone (if it exists and is legible!) and email it to you.

I've been bedevilled by an Internet dropout that lasted days, and showery weather, but I did go to the cemetery yesterday and have a wander around.

Nola, I've found and photographed the headstone you are interested in.  If you pm me your email address, I'll send it to you.

Sandy, I had a look for a few of yours, including the oldest ones, but they are eluding me.  I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't have headstones!  I am going to contact someone who knows a lot about the families buried in the cemetery and see what he can tell me.  I'll be back in touch with you soon.

i will do that, as soon as I get another spare moment.

Sandy - don't give up, I am going to speak to that cemetery expert and maybe he can shed some light.  Otherwise I'll look for the ones I haven't yet looked for.

Nola - I got a message that you had sent me a pm but it isn't showing up on my pm index.  I don't understand that at all!!!  ??? ???  Computers!!  ::) ::) ::)  If you could resend the pm, maybe I'll get it the second time??  ::) ::)

Cheers
