Whilst exploring the many tracks throughout the area we came across
this plaque.
From this we have visited the local cemeteries and gathered this
info so far.
In 1887 George and Elizabeth Woolstencroft and their family
John, Susana, Emma, Charles, Jane, Henry and Alex settled in the
Noojee district and each embarked on their own journey with many
choosing the Neerim cemetery as their final resting place.
George Sherlock Woolstencroft died at Leigh in England 16th October
1916 aged 69 years and is interred at Lostock Craeam England.
Elizabeth Woolstencroft died August 11th 1907 aged 57 years and is
buried at Neerim.
Eldest son John Woolstencroft was a pioneer photographer and
postcard publisher of Noojee and Neerim and died on the 25th August
1957 aged 86 years, Johns wife Clara died 6 years later aged 88
years, and their daughter Gladys died in 1986 aged 83 years. All
have been buried at Neerim cemetery.
Henry Woolstencroft the 4th son of George and Elizabeth died in
action on the 8th April 1912 at Lacnicourt? aged 36 years.
I am still researching the history of Susana, Emma, Charles and
Jane and will update the cache notes as new information arises.
