I cannot find Sarah Elizabeth Snell's death on either index.......even searching just for Sarah Elizabeth.....

There is no entry in BISA for this family either......

Now I don't know if this is relevant or not, but seeing as Bob posted about a John and Ann Snell, with son John Snell.......

A John and Ann Snell arrived with 3 children on the 30th August 1845 from Hobart on the TIMBO.

Source of the information is given as a newspaper Passenger list/Deaths or Obituaries.....

I found this at

This is wonderful - thank you all for your very helpful responses - so many leads to follow up. I have found a photo of James Hay Train's headstone at the Green Fields Cemetery web page

James H Train
The beloved husband of Sarah Train
Died 28th Decr 1906
Aged 61 years

The entry on the Greens Plains cemetery site giving his death date as 28/121806 must be a typo!

I am wondering which site you are actually looking at as there are three sites listed on

This data is from

I can now see where you received the incorrect burial data - the Copper Coast Burial Index for Greens Plains.

If you would like a photo of the  complete headstone  I suggest you contact the following
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ausvsac/Green_Plains_West.htm

There is an email address to request a free photo - excellent photography from lovely people

Well
I just typed out the death date as it was listed on the register in my response regarding his burial.

So, the mistake is , as you say, a typographical error.

Sue I often find errors in the Council databases...I guess it may be difficult at times transcribing from old handwritten burial registers.
