Title: Waimakariri Burial CD Look-up
Post by: Canterburynorth on Monday 07 February 11 05:01 GMT (UK)
Eva Elizabeth Groves died 1952 and husband James died 1957. 

Could anyone please tell me if the CD has a location in the Lawn Park Cemetery, or any other information.

Many thanks

Regards
leandra

Leandra,

CD only gives the location, doesn't give the rows or plot numbers, to find where they are in the cemetery you will have to get the information from the cemetery fiche.


Cheers

PS:  The Waimakariri NZSG Branch was the source

The Waimakariri District Cemeteries CD produced by the Waimakariri Branch of NZSG does give details of areas, rows and plots for all 26 cemeteries in the district. It also contains outline cemetery plot plans. Users should double click on a name to see headstone transcriptions and burial records.

For James Groves the details are: Rangiora Lawn Cemetery, Area Left 2, Row 001, Plot 022. His headstone transcription is: "J. Groves 33353 Rfm Rifle Brigade, 1st NZEF, died 30 March 1957, aged 75 years.

For Eva Elizabeth the details are: Rangiora Lawn Cemetery, Area Left 2, Row 001, Plot 023. Her headstone transciption is: "Eva Elizabeth dearly loved wife of James Groves, died 19 December 1952, age 59 years. RIP. Eva's funeral was conducted by Fr Costigan.

Note that the records held by Waimakariri District Council give the surname as Groove.

Hi Arden,

My referral to Reply #2 referring to CD, was to the NZSG Burial Locator V2.  Usually in the past Leandra has wanted a look up from it.

Hello Arden,

Thankyou for the information, you are very kind.
Do you happen to know if the Waimak Branch still sells the CD?

Regards

Hi Leandra,

Looking at the title now, I can be seen it can be taken two ways now.

Yes, you are lucky to have the information provided. :D

Does anyone have a current email address of which to send an order for this CD to at all as the email address further below has bounced.

If not - could someone please look up the name Clifton Laurie Preston. The NZ burial locator has him listed at the Rangiora Park Lawn in 1985, but would like more details if possible. Also - maybe of his wife - June Ellen Preston
