Hi Warncoort
Yes - both were where I first looked - nothing on Find A Grave.....
And the Council advises to contact the Bereavement Cemetery office to arrange an appointment which is a bit difficult to do from NZ!
I was wondering if anyone had ideas of another way to locate the graves easily?

Cheers

Why not email the Bereavement cemetery office and ask them about the graves explaining that you are in NZ.

Thank you Rosie
Very much appreciated.
Every bit of information is useful - and I did not have any of Elizabeth's death /burial details.

I'll give your suggestion of emailing a try and see how I get on.

Thank you again
Cheers

Checked the records for St Andrew's, Penrith the burial of Elizabeth Watson 19 Aug 1827. She was the wife of John of Netherend and was 54 when she died.  Checked St Andrew's records for John who died in 1837 to see if he was buried in the same place, but there wasn't a burial for him.
