anafred on 2014-03-12 02:56:10I did look in the Eltham Cemetery and still could not find the record. Tried under both Arthur Harold and Harold Arthur. Was it a habit to reverse names? If so it is really confusing
ngairedith on 2014-03-12 05:42:35yes it was anafred,
in fact, they were usually called by their second name. So if Arthur Harold was so registered then he was probably called Harold or vice versa :( bit strange
anafred on 2014-03-12 06:14:24Well I am more than sure they did that just to confuse me. It is so frustrating trying to find this grave. I would love to at some stage put some small memorial there for him. Now to researching what on earth they would have been using Ammonia on, only thing i can think of is cleaning cowsheds or washing with so many little ones in the house this is a possibility.
