Cheers

Devonshire St / Sand Hills burials were, I believe, exhumed and reburied out at Botany Bay.
MAJM will probably be along with more precise details.
You also probably should remove your email address from public view. If you don't, a moderator will probably soon do it anyway.

Can anybody help with the whereabouts of the burial of Sarah (Bockerah) Laurie please?

NSW BMD index has her burial at St James Sydney.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure where “St James” actually is or was. St James church in King St, plots around the church? I thought maybe Central Railway and then relocated. But the church sounds more feasible. I thought St John’s in parramatta was the oldest cemetery in Australia, where Ann Buckrel (Bockerah) is buried. St James may not have been a cemetery as such, just a convenient burial ground.

Information about the church and (scroll down) early burials.
