Hi Folks;
An interesting issue regarding a cemetery I would appreciate help with.
In the Victoria Government Gazette of 16 August, 1933, page 2133 is the following notice:
Department of Public Health
Trustees For Cemeteries.
* Sidney Percy DIFFEY, to be a Trustee for Waringa Public Cemetery, vice Thomas J. SANDERSON, deceased.
Has any List Member any information for a Waringa Cemetery? I cannot find any reference to it or a place called, Waringa.
I thought it might be Waranga near Rushworth or Yarram (two places) but it does not really fit. Checking on the death indexes for Thomas
John SANDERSON, I found he died at Wangaratta in 1933. Sidney Percy DIFFEY died at Rutherglen in 1971. I was wondering if it was in the Wangaratta area.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
David Weatherill
