Hallo Carmel, I have checked out your great compilation of names from Yallourn Graveyard, Victoria, but the name of my Father's cousin who died in that town in 1952 was not there, I presume he did not have a headstone but can you advise where else I could search for his grave,? the following are the details. RANDAL THOMAS HURLEY had emigrated from Co.Cork, Ireland just a few years previous to his death, he was born in 1918 in Kilmeen parish, Co.Cork and died in Yallourn in 1952 aged 34, he was Church of Ireland (Cof E ) I just discovered what part of Australia he went to a few days ago. Would it be probable that he could have worked in the electrical plant in the town??. I would be delighted to get any information at all about him. Many thanks, Greetings from Ireland. Gloria Binions.
Hi Carmel, many thanks for reply. Should you have any Irish queries please feel free to ask, I may (or may not ! ) be able to help. What I will try to do is to trace C of E records for that town, or census records from circa 1945 to 1952 but no luck yet as I do not know how to do this, but hope springs eternal !. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Gloria.

My mother was a Kilmartin - her lot came from the south west; her father came from Colac.
