I am looking for info re WILLIAN O"MALLEY as he is buried with my Grt Grt Grandfather JAMES SMART,class B block IIV plot40.Is he a relative,why is he buried there?
I have been doing some research in order to answer your query. It is proving a bit of a mystery so far.
What we have at the Lumsden Cemetery: Michael O'Malley buried 22nd Nov 1918 aged 56 - he is buried in Plot 14 - Class A - Block 1 at Lumsden
Martin O'Malley buried 18 Nov 1916 aged 36 - he is buried in Plot 36 - Class B - Block III at Lumsden - he married Margaret DUGGAN in 1914 - Margaret remarried in 1920 to Alfred James Havelock BENGE - Alfred graduated from Victoria University in 1912 with a B.A.
William O'Malley buried 12 Apr 1927 aged 65 - he is buried in Plot 40 - Class B - Block III at Lumsden - this is an unmarked grave which as you say, appears to also be the burial place of James SMART - James was buried 23 Feb 1911 aged 79
