No rush, whenyou are next there
I thought we had covered most of NZ with burial locator 2 but sadly still seems a lot of gaps.

Hi - Helen Brown born 1860 Lesmahagow Scotland. Daughter of Thomas & Helen Scott Brown who came to NZ in 1868 and settled in Waikouaiti. She married Archibald Glendinning and had about 12 children. Can't see any children from second marriage. Helen was sister of my g-grandmother Jane.
