Hi Carmel,
Can you tell me if there is a Inglewood Cemetery in Ballarat ? I'm led to believe my great great great grandmother is buried there. I have tried contacting the cemetry itself but the lady said she couldn't help me !!!

I would GREATLY appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi Carmel,

Thanks for such a quick reply.

Sorry, i'm from Perth WA and didn't realise that Inglewood cemetery was that far from where you are !! Yes I have contacted the cemetery at the address you gave me, quite a while ago, and they weren't able to help me.  So , i guess I'll just have to keep trying other avenues.

Thanks again for your help  :)

Kerri
They are both buried in the New Cemetery in LawnF-9.36 he was an SEC (state Electricity company) employee and buried 7 june 1966, and she 7 December 1977. In the Electoral Roll there is a Brian Joseph Mccormack living with them at 55 Webster Street, Ballarat and he was a Textile worker, probably Lucas' or somewhere like that, earlier they were living at warrenhiep just out side of Ballarat toward Melbourne, actually they were in Scotts pde, must have been the electoral area of Warrenhiep.
When she died she was living at 222 lyons street Ballarat. They were still at Webster street when he died.
Headstone reads
Gladys Esther Mc Cormack/ d 5 December 1976 aged 72 yrs/ wife of John Mother of Brian Jean and Nola, / also John J Mc Cormack / died 5 June 1966 aged 62 yrs husband of Gladys father of above.

On another thread you said you emailed the trust  but the trust does not appear to have an email address.  There is an email address for the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority which includes the Inglewood Cemetery Trust and Inglewood Kindergarten and an email for the person responsible for managing the insurance - perhaps that is where you email was sent.

I have telephoned the Trust Secretary and she is not available until next week.  I had quite a chat with her husband who said they are more than willing to search the burial registers but some pages are in a fragile state.

Trust members and secretaries are voluntary positions in rural Victoria and the Cemetery Trust is the point of contact.   You cannot contact 'the cemetery' as such. 

As suggested you could also contact the Inglewood Historical Society which has a publication for sale of compiled cemetery records.  I have posted the link on your other request.

Cheers
