Hi :)

I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information please.

The people I am looking for are Sarah Ellen Kitching nee Sanders - Death 9 Feb 1946

and her husband

Robert Evan Kitching - Death 1959

Their daughter Dorothy Maude is also buried here, her death - 1968

They are all buried in St Peters Cemetery, Campbelltown, NSW, Australia, but I have no idea where.

Thanking you in advance !

Hi,
I was at St Peters today looking up some ancestors of mine (no relation) when I came across some Kitchings .

Not sure if you are familiar with the cemetery (or if you have ever been there), but there is a large double plot close to the entrance near the school end which is the grave of Elizabeth Kitching and Charles Sharman Kitching (not mentioned in your original post although not a common surname thought they may be related somehow). There are no plaques in the usual space at the top of the grave, only a small monument in the centre for these two people which reads as follows:

(top) OUR NANA
ELIZABETH
KITCHING
AGED 85 YRS.

(side) OUR
DARLING SON
CHARLES SHARMAN
KITCHING
DIED 13TH APRIL 1918
AGED 3 YEARS, 3 MONTHS
SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS

I did also manage to locate the plaque for Dorothy Maude Kitching which is in the top row in the columbarium wall to the right of the main entrance, which reads as follows:

DOROTHY MAUDE KITCHING
DIED 26TH MARCH, 1968
AGED 70 YEARS.

I could not find Sarah Ellen Kitching nor Robert Evan Kitching.
Was Robert a returned serviceman? This was the only section I did not read all the names.

Cheers,
Erica

Thanks for that Erica. I Think more likely Sarah and Robert just don't have a headstone :(
