Hello Sandie, having grown up in Abbotsford I know of only the cemetery at
the Convent, it seemed to be for inmates and the Good Shepherd Sisters. The
nearest cemetery otherwise would be Boroondara and Kew and Melbourne General
in Carlton.

Hi Anne

thanks for that, seems like I will have to do some more research on exactly
where the grave is situated. He died in Collingwood, so I might try the
closest to there.
Cheers
Sandie

Hi Sandie,

you could try e-mailing Melbourne General Cemetery and asking if he is
buried there. You can get the address from www.necropolis.com.au.
If you give a lot of details they are reasonably quick to respond.

Thanks all who have helped out with my request, I will chase up those
links!!

I got the info from hand written notes accompanying a badly photocopied
photo from someone who had the copy given to them... so I dont have contact
with the original person who took the photo. I was hoping to drive past
sometime over the weekend and take a better picture. More work to be done
before I can do that

cheers
Sandie

Sandie, no cemetery at Abbotsford as far as I know, I grew up in the
next suburb and never heard of one. Try Northcote, Melbourne, or
Fawkner. Regards Jo.

Hi Sandie,

The closes cemetery is probably Kew (called Boroondara Cemetery) Check
the Australian Cemeteries website for details.

Hard to find substantive detail, but Google for "abbotsford good
shepherd cemetery", and one of the hits should be for Richard Wynne's
(MP) site - which seems to be broke.

Under Abbotsford Convent are the tantalising words "the site houses a
three-story convent, a cemetery, paths,...." so why not let his office
know we are all waiting with interest for them to fix the web page :-)

Paul, maybe the Cemetery mentioned is a private cemetery for the Good
Shepherd Sisters. They were the order in the convent.The order may have an
archivest who would have that information.
Just a thought
Phil.

Hi Folks,

You'll also find that the Cemetery at the Former Convent of the Good
Shepherd is specifically listed as well as 13 other buildings / sites at the
former convent on the Victorian Heritage Register (search Abbotsford)

http://www.heritage.vic.gov.au/

As Tony suggested, it would be worth contacting the archivist. Many
convents had their own burial ground / cemetery.

Regards ........... Susie Z
