Hi Marie,

Thankyou so much for the photo and no I wasn't aware of Catherine having her twin being buried with her, that was a surprise, when I did the search on the Toowoomba cemetery website it usually will mention if there are two people buried in the same grave which in this case it didn't.

How very lovely that they are now back together after all that time.

The photo is great and I really appreciate your time and effort in looking for me, it is much appreciated

Thankyou again
Cheers

It's a pleasure, Nari! :)  Only wish I could have found the other two.

Cheers,

Anita's photos are on their way to her.  Happy to look for any others that people may have!

Thank you very much for sending the photos.   I just thought I'd tidy up all my old posts  - so this is another job COMPLETED. 
Thanks again

My pleasure, Anita!  I actually enjoy prowling round the cemetery with an end in view - not just aimlessly prowling!  Always happy to help!

At ozgenonline - http://www.ozgenonline.com/aust_cemeteries - someone has an alphabetical list of headstone photos available for free for the Toowoomba cemetery.

You would need to check the list and quote the reference no.
e.g. , the request for Catherine Lindenmeyer is as - Lindenmayer, Catherine F. - DSC 002044 Luth 1c31-36 CD8

Hi Annie,

Firstly, welcome to Rootschat!  ;D  And thank you very much for posting such a useful post so early in your membership here!!!  :D

So I suppose the best approach for those looking for photos of headstones in the Drayton and Toowoomba cemetery is as follows:

First, look up the cemetery index to get the reference for your person.

Second, check the website that Annie has given.  If you find the headstone there, great!  If you don't, still feel free to ask me to have a look.  It may mean that they just haven't got around to photographing yours (it is a very big cemetery!), or it may mean that the headstone is illegible or missing, like some I've looked for already.  :'(

Thanks for that link. Even though I live in Toowoomba I still used the service, as I haven't had the time to go out to the cemetery yet. I managed to get about 10 relatives gravestone photos. Thanks. Hopefully next weekend I can get more photos.
If anyone ever needs something in Toowoomba, I'll try my hardest to oblige.

Another Toowoomba person!  That makes two of us who are active on here.  You should think about coming to our meet in Brisbane in October, jeune-romantique - see the threads in The Common Room!
