Athawes Grave

[lauraathawes]

This might be a very long, long shot.

But I have an ancestor who died in New South Wales, Australia and I would really like a photo of his headstone and wondered if there would be a very kind soul out there that might do this for me.

His name was Charles Edward Athawes B: 1869 - D: 1923
He was buried at the Rookwood Cemetery, in Zone C, section 07, number 1427.

His wife Lydia Jane Athawes is also I believe buried with him D: 1938

Many thanks in advance

Hi Laura, you might find someone in Sydney from Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness website; it's a list of volunteers around the world who will do these sorts of things.

Rookwood Cemetery also have a Facebook Page and I am pretty sure for a small donation that one of the members would be happy to take a photo for you. https://www.facebook.com/pg/RookwoodCemetery/about/
