Locating final resting place
« on: Sunday 01 January 17 13:29 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me locate the final resting places of my great great grandparents, Michael O'Connor & Katherine (nee Dacey) O'Connor. Michael Was borne in Tipperary in 1852 +/- 1-2yrs and Katherine in Cork Ireland in 1863+/-the same. They were Married in Stanthorpe QLD AUS 12 June 1881. My Great Grandmother, Catherin O'Connor, was borne to them at 9 Mile Gap near Tenterfield on the 5th May 1886. This is the last trace of them that I have, so if anyone can help I could fill in one more gap of the tree. Catherin O;Connor married James Aloysius Gorman 22/1/1903 in Brisbane.

Hi Michael

You can search for historical Queensland deaths here: http://www.rootschat.com/links/01j6i/

Katherine died in 1893 and is recorded as Catherine O'Connor with parents listed as John Dacey & Mary Donovan. 

This link gives some useful information as to what information should be included on the death certificate, including details of where buried:
