   Another name for Ellen was Ella Herbert.

  General Notes:

Mary is buried in the Rookwood Cemetery, RC Section, Mortuary 1, Area N, Grave 582 with her daughter Mary, also known as Minnie. Whilst Ellen's name is not recorded on the headston , the records indicate that this plot is shared with an Ellen Herbert who was buried on 30th June 1927. This is just after the Ellen's death date, and no other Ellen Herbert's died that year. However the online records show Ellen's age as 28 which must be an error as she was 80 when she died.
