Yes, I got it, Kelly!  :D

Computer's been in hospital for a couple of days, and now I'm crook too (just a bad cold!)  Going to bed.  Bear with me.  Will upload and send them tomorrow, hopefully, if computer co-operates!  Just fading fast at present...

The photos are on their way to you.  My computer told me your email address didn't appear to be a valid one, so I hope they arrive.  Let me know when they do!

Meanwhile, Anita, you're next!  When I manage to get there again - won't be for a few days - but when I can!

And Judith, if you ever work out where your folk are, I will try to find them if they're not too far away! 8)

Just letting you know I haven't forgotten you!  I have been unbelievably busy, AND battling a bad cold.  After the weekend, it is high on my list of priorities to get up there!  It's actually quite pleasant walking around the cemetery looking for graves - I enjoy it - just need to have the time!!!  :D :D

Anita

I looked for your folks yesterday - only found one of the gravestones, unfortunately!  There are some graves with headstones illegible or not there.  A grave near where your Fairbanks couple should be has just a stone edging with "Father" and "Mother" on it - not very helpful!

Anyway, I have a couple of photos of Thomas William Fairbanks's stone, so if you pm your email address to me, I shall send them to you!

Hi Nari

I've been searching for your lot.  Unfortunately I could not find headstones for two of them, though there were a number of unmarked graves in those sections.  But there is a surprise for you with little Catherina Lindenmayer - someone I don't think you knew about!

Although she died before her third birthday, she had a twin sister, Christine Beutel, who lived to be 98!!  They are buried together, with an inscription on the foot of the grave saying "Together again".  It is really touching.

I am about to email the photo of the plaque on the grave giving their details.

Cheers
