burial records for pauper burials ??

[pinefamily]

Here in Australia, most of the large cemeteries have what is known as "pauper graves", for people whose estates don't have enough to pay for burial. I believe one of my great uncles, a single man, is buried in such; I find this hard to understand, as he had several siblings still alive, who surely could have helped to cover the cost.

Do you want to post his name so we can see if he turns up anywhere else?

[Sheila Whittingham]

Thankyou but I have found everything about him over the past 10 years except where he is buried...just want to end the story.

I didn't mean other types of information, it's just that people have have access to all types of burial records, a lot of which may not be online.

If you post his name we can check other burial records for you.

Sorry...thankyou   Philip Christian Stortz died January 1882 at Providence place Brighton.

One immediate thought is that his surname has been incorrectly recorded where ever he is buried.
