hello Pam

Thanks for your reply to my cemetery query. Oh dear is all i can say.
When you say public grave does that mean she is in with other/s, or just put
into a graveby herself with no headstone. IFshe is ours I can't
understand why she would have been in Geelong. Her husband was Thomas and he
died in NSW.

I wonder if the undertaker - well his business if still in the hands of
someone
would have 'notes' e.g. where buried???? Thats of assuming records
were not biffed out or the business faded away.

I am not quite sure just what to do next-. meanwhile thank you very much.
If you have any suggestions I would be extremely grateful of them.
regards Diane.
