Thank you Mark Pilkington for the
following information
I have visited the graveyard and can confirm the headstone you list as "Unknown
Eliza" is Eliza Robinson who died 26 Nov 1860 the wife of William
Robinson who is also buried at the same site and adjacent. You photo
linked below allows faint reading of those details on the image.
Of interest my great great grandmother Sarah Robinson and her husband
John Robinson died in the same month August 1869 and I suspect
either Sarah is in an un-marked grave at Gretna or is buried with John
in the same grave but not listed on his Headstone. Sarah was the mother
of
William James Pilkington also buried at Gretna with his wife
Louisa. |

OBITUARY. Mr. J. A. Wilson
The death
occurred at his residence, Cluan, Plenty, on Sunday of Mr. James

he became manager of the late Mr. G. C.Nicholas' Cawood estate
near Ouse, and occupied that position until his death. He was
keenly interested in sheep, and was recognised as one of the
best judges of Merinos in Tasmania.
Representatives of many prominent Derwent Valley families and
public men attended the funeral at St. Mary's Church of England
cemetery, Gretna, on Tuesday. Services were conduct-ed by the
rector of Macquarie Plains (the Rev. K. J. Hughes). The chief
mourners were the two sons, Messrs. G. A. Wilson and R. C.
Wilson (bro-thers), R. W. Brown and D. Brown (brothers-in-law)
and W. Matthews. Included in the large gathering were Messrs. G.
B. McLeod, R. O. Shoobridge, M.L.C., E. H. Webster, D.
