Burial

Elizabeth was buried on 23 September 1919 at  Carr Villa Monumental Cemetery (B2 204 1/2 registration no. 4114).  The funeral director was Albert FINNEY.  Elizabeth's funeral notice in The Examiner of 23 September 1919 read:

The funeral of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Crew will leave her late residence, 75 Galvin-street, this day (Tuesday), 23rd September, at 2 o'clock, for interment in the Carr Villa Cemetery.  Friends are invited to attend.

Elizabeth's tombstone inscription reads:

Nearer my God to thee

Children

William and Elizabeth had five children.  For the eldest, there is a record of birth for Frederick William CREW born on 20 May 1851.  And there is a record of death for a William Cane CREW died on 25 March 1853 aged 22 months, making his birth date May 1851.  Thus, I have assumed that these are the same child.  It is possible that the clerk wrote down the father's name instead of the child's name on the death record.
