Barney and Eliza's grave site is unlisted and has no monument. I was told by Mercia FOX their grave was in the first row Catholic North (facing Kenny Street) but she could not remember where. Their granddaughter, Kathleen FOX a newborn baby, died just seven years after Barney. She may have been buried in their grave. Her grave is recorded as Roman Catholic North; Row 1; Grave 8.
FOX Ave at the rear of Wollongong Cemetery is named in Barney's honour. The Swan Street Cemetery was know to locals as "Old Barney's field" or "Barney Fox's".
