1. DEATH CERTIFICATES
To locate death information, such as using the NSW births, deaths
& Marriage site at http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm
and utilise death certificates. A death certificate confirms where a
person was buried. Transcription agents offer cheap alternatives for
certificates, see http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/howToSearch.htm#TranscriptionAgent
2. NEWSPAPERS
Also try searching for death notices and obituaries in local newspapers. Newspapers are available to search online as part of Trove http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper Local Hawkesbury newspapers appear on Trove due to the sponsorship of Hawkesbury Library Service. Local newspapers are not complete for the period 1875-1888 but are complete for 1888 onwards. Deaths recorded in the Hawkesbury district often appear in local newspapers as well as Sydney and other newspapers. Local newspapers are also available on microfilm for the period and are held by Hawkesbury City Library Service, 300 George Street, Windsor / State Library of NSW, Macquarie Street Sydney & the National Library of Australia, Canberra.
3. CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS
Another alternative is to try to see whether the person has surviving
headstone. The Catholic Cemetery at Windsor is not yet transcribed on
the "Hawkesbury on the Net - Cemetery
Register" but will be forthcoming. Transcriptions are held and
can be consulted at : Hawkesbury City Council Library, Dight Street,
Windsor and the Society of Australian Genealogist, 120 Kent Street,
Sydney.
