Field of Mars Cemetery, Ryde
Olive Mary Laws (1916). Roman Catholic, Section B, 465. Cemetery records may show her name as Mary Olive Laws. I have asked for this to be changed.
Grabben Gullen Cemetery
This cemetery is sometimes called Grabben Gullen Cemetery but its official name appears to be Wheeo Cemetery. It's located off Wheeo Road, just before Sapphire Road, on the left coming from Grabben Gullen.
The cemetery is on private property and along a rough track but it's visible from the road. There is no sign on the road: you just have to keep a sharp eye out.
The cemetery is easily accessible if you drive slowly. There was no-one around and we couldn't see a house so we simply opened the gate and drove through, hoping no-one would mind.
Edward Withers (1877). No headstone.
