Is there anyone with a digital camera who is prepared to go to Northern Cemetery in Dunedin if it is still there and photograph some gravestones for me.
Block 1 Plot 0007A for the Duncan family.
Block 16, Plot 0029A for the Clark family.
Block 26, Plot 0009 contains members of the Lambert family.
Block 26, Plot 0008 contains members of the Duncan family.
Thanks, Heather

Hi Heather,
Unfortunately I live 200 miles north of Dunedin but the Northern Cemetery is still very much in existance. It has a website as follows:
http://www.southernheritage.org.nz/northerncemetery/home.html
The site contains a link to the Dunedin Branch of the NZSG. Give them a try. Bound to be someone who will help you.
Cheers

Hello, I can do it, I live in Dunedin. Could you put me in touch with anyone who could help me with the records for the Friendly Burial Society in Liverpool?
-
Ferg that would be great if you can help.
Unfortunately I do not have any contacts for the Friendly Burial Society in Liverpool, I am currently residing in Australia, but will keep my ear to the ground.
Thanks a heap.

I will go up this weekend and see what I can find. Where would you like me to send the photos to. When immirgrants came to NZ via Ozzy did they all arrive at the same place (eg) Sydney I'm looking for James Ferguson and Mary Ann Ferguson who arrived in NZ on or before 1864 from England. Did they stay on board the ship, or did they stay in the country a few days before they left for NZ?
-
Hi Ferg,
thanks that will be great, I will send you a PM with my email address.
I am really sorry I cant help you with your queries but I will search around for any information. Most ships arrived in Sydney and I would imagine they stayed on board the ship while in port but may be wrong. Where did the Ferguson's land in NZ, there are lots of passenger lists for NZ, put in passenger lists NZ and see what comes up.
Cheers

Hi Ferg
Greetings to my old home town. Try this URL for the Shalimar into Auckland in 1862. There are two Fergusons who match your names.

Hello Ferg,
I was in Dunedin 2 years ago and didn't realize I had a grt Uncle burrid in the South cemetery
I started my family tree when we came back to England unbeknown to me that my grandfather was born in New Zealand
Is 7 Alvor Street still there
Also he went to school in Mornington
The family came home to England sometime after 1888 and I cannot find the ship they Returned in
I think it could be the Ormuz
as my grt grandmother remarried in 1893
Any help will be welcome

There is an Alva Street in Mornington but no Alvor. Are you wanting me to photograph a grave site at the Southern Cemetery?
-
Hi ferg
Sorry I wrote Alvor Street you are right it is Alva
A photo of the street would be nice
I dont think there will be a head stone for William Munro Mackenzie died 30.6.1881
Southern cemetery Block110
Plot 0031
But if ever your that way it would be nice
Thank
Elizabeth

Hi Heather
Northern Cemetery is still there, and it still has its tombstones.
There is also transcripts of the cemetery, done by local genealogists.
Unfortunately I dont have a digital camera :'(

Hello alvin
I went to Alva Street in Mornington, but I don't think the house you wanted photographed was the right one. It was about 6 years old and was a big white mansion on the site.
