I'm looking for someone that can advise me of details on grave stone or other records of a Lillian Cleverly nee Westlake, died Aug 1977 and reported as being buried at Papakura cemetery. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

I am searching also for graves . Have you looked at cemeteries on line for N. I have emailed the Papakura Council for information on their database for the Papakura cemetery as they don't have one online. The Papakura library has transcriptions and indexes - search Papakura Library but may need to go in or be a member.
Will let you know how I get on with the council

I believe that the Papakura Genealogy group have been collecting names on headstones from the cemetery.

If you contact the Papakura Council at www.papakura.govt.nz they maybe able to help. They have no online data base but seem helpful enough to do a lookup for you.

Hi,
I have just spent several hours in the Papakura Library. As I was about to leave I spotted the Papakura Genealogists volumes for the cemetery. they also have a map in the front showing the different church areas. I would be happy to pop back to the library and find the plot number, then over to the cemetery to see if there is a headstone. Perhaps tomorrow ! If you have any further information that might point me to the right area let me know.
Cheers Mackiwi :)

That would be great if yopu could do that for me. All i know is Lillian Cleverly nee Westlake died 5 Aug 1977, wife of Herbert Royal Cleverly but he his buried at Hamilton Park Cemetery. I had a reply from Papakura Council and they said "unable to find anyone by either name" so i'm beginning to have doubts about her being buried at Papakura.
Cheers.

I have left a message on an ansaphone hoping to hear back tonight.

Update :'(
Sorry Lillian does not appear to be in Papakura. It is possible that she is in a cemetery in the general area, as there are outlying cemeteries that are not on line. Some councils are looking at doing this in the future but no date set in concrete. I have been checking out all that I could find north and south and found your Herbert in Hamilton 2nd Jan 1978 age 78 .

Thanks for trying anyway. We dont always find what we are looking for in the family history business - sometimes we even find what we dont want to know.
Thanks and cheers

Hi there just a thought has anyone checked to see if Lillian is in the cemetery at Drury? Not the one at Gatland Road, but the one across from the school? Just a thought. Cheers
-
So far have only checked Papakura and any I could find on the net. Have to dig around (no pun intended) and get the names of all cemeteries in the area before I give up completely. Thanks for the suggestion any more you can think of ?

Lilian remarried in 1949 to Stanley Ernest Hall she is under the surname Hall in Papakura Cemetery

Thanks for that info. I had missed the fact that she had remarried. Much appreciated.

Hi,
On the BDM website the forename is spelt "Lilian", it gives her date of birth - 22 June 1902. If you do order the certificate order the Printout as it is cheaper and gives more informaton.

Hi again,
Just a little bit more information. Lilian's first marriage ended in divorce and is held at Archives. Divorce records usually have the marriage certificates attached. Herbert's Probate is also held there.
You could start a new thread asking if someone will do a "Auckland Archives Lookup" for you.

I would like to know who these people are who are asking question about my grandmother Lillian Cleverly. Please explain yourselves and why you want to know about my family

Hi lenore,
Welcome to Rootschat and the NZ Board. :)
I am just one of the many volunteers on here who has helped the Original Poster, weemalla, who is obviously the one seeking questions to your grandmother. I notice that the poster hasn't been online lately, but should get a notification of this thread.
You have already made two posts, so one more is needed to enable the PM system (Private Message), the little scroll that is showing. Green when we are online and grey when we are off .... doesn't matter if it is off, you can still send a message. That way the Original Poster and you can talk off line privately.
Cheers
