Such brilliant information; thank you so much! My sister aims to be visiting Perth in the next few weeks so I'm gathering as much information as I can for her.
Can you find any reference to Crichton (or Crighton)? The mother was a Sligo (daughter of Archibald and Grace) and her three young sons died within weeks of each other in 1874 and then her husband in the early part of 1875, leaving her with just a baby daughter. My grandfather, her nephew, was sent to live with her when his mother died. I wonder if I can find out where they were buried.

Oops, I've just reread the title of this thread and realise that it's pre-1855, so don't worry about it.

Do you have names of the deceased?

If they died in Perth City they will most likely be buried at Wellshill Cemetery.

Do you have the address or area they lived/died?
