HI, I’ve been using http://www.findagrave.com to locate MI’s. It is pretty user-friendly and you can support the volunteer system by paying a little money to “look after” records of your ancestors.
Thanks for the idea. I did a search for my Curry in Australia surname study and found 146 entries in Australian cemeteries.
Glad to be of help. Wishing you good luck with your Curry surname study.
