I went to Payneham Cemetery, as per previous post, with a list of graves to find. I found one which was on my list and two which weren’t.
This is one of the headstones I was looking for. It’s amazing that I found it as it has been moved from the grave site.
This is one I photographed on the off chance that Flora might be ‘one of mine’. There aren’t that many people named Sobels in South Australia.
Henry was another surprise find and again the name isn’t very common so he’s most likely in my lot. I’ll look for them in my tree database today.
I’m going back to the cemetery today, I’ve printed out the cemetery map and will mark off each area as I’ve checked it. The moved headstones are placed around the cemetery grounds in clusters and the ones with heads still attached to their graves are in the traditional rows.
Kylie, Do you upload your cemetery images to an online database?
I have used Billion Graves a few times and find it easy to use from my Android.
No I haven’t but thanks for that, I’ll check it out.
I’ve got two albums on Picasaweb where I upload my South Australian and Victorian headstones and all my photos are freely available for anyone to use under a Creative Commons license.
