Websites have different cemeteries for the same grave [closed]

Question

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/199428148/james-hamilton-moore has a photo of the gravestone for James Hamilton Moore (and his wife and daughter) and states they are buried in Coghills Creek Cemetery, Glendaruel-Tourello Road, Coghills Creek, Victoria, Australia.

https://billiongraves.com/supporting-record/James-H-Moore/99953662 has a photo of the same gravestone, but states it is at Smeaton Cemetery, 280 Cemetery Road, Smeaton, Victoria, Australia.

According to Google Maps, these two cemeteries are about 20km apart.

Can someone who lives in the area please check in which cemetery James Hamilton Moore is actually buried?

If you can take a photo and upload it to the profile, so much the better. Better still if someone with access to billiongraves or findagrave can correct the information on the incorrect website.

Answer 1

Hi Wendy. According to the following contemporary funeral notice, Find a Grave is correct.

<ref>Family Notices (1920, May 24). ''The Ballarat Star (Vic. : 1865 - 1924)'', p. 4. Retrieved April 1, 2022, from National Library of Australia Trove [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/211906788?searchTerm=Moore 211906788]. "MOORE.—The Friends of the late Mr. J. H. MOORE, of "Bonnie Doon," Coghill's Creek, are respectfully invited to follow his remains to the place of interment, Coghill's Creek Cemetery. The funeral will leave his late residence, Coghill's Creek, at 3 o'clock To-morrow (Tuesday) afternoon. A. PASCO and SONS, Undertakers."</ref>

Thank you Jim.

Answer 2

Hi Wendy

Applies to three family members in the grave. There are correct memorials on Billion Graves, at Coghills Creek - Glendaruel Cemetery:-

James Hamilton Moore 1867 - 1920 BillionGraves Record

I have raised a Billion Graves ticket to remove the Smeaton Cemetery entries. These are supporting records, so have no GPS location. The correct memorials have GPS data showing location at Coghills Creek. Added a FG memorial for Jessie May Moore as she was missing.

Best regards, Ron
