Does anyone know if there is a complete list of all cemeteries that were in Auckland region in the 1880's
-
Hi Poobear,
Not that I know of,are you looking for anyone in particular?
Cheers Janette

Thanks Janet,
I have posted before Im looking for James Shaw died 1883 died in Auckland and his wife Ellen Shaw died 1892 in Auckland.
They are a complete mystery to where they are burried?? I was just wondering if there was a list of cemeteries around that time.
Cheers Poobear

Spades beat me to posting the link ;D
In the previous post Althea's Reply #20, is there a way of asking the FD Society (or what it is called) if they would have on their records, who might have bought the undertaker Meachem out? Janette any ideas?
Cheers

Just thinking outside the square :P

I see by this article in Paperspast the inquest was held at the Oretia (probably now called Oratia) Hotel
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0l5m/
It also says he was travelling from the Henderson railway station to his residence,I suspect the minister probably travelled to Henderson to conduct the service.
It may be worth contacting the office at Waikumete Cemetery and asking them about the cemeteries mentioned in the previous thread,I know Swanson has some old graves at the front.
Another thing you could do is to have a good look on G**gle maps around the area he lived,I have found small cemeteries that way,
Cheers Janette

There is a small cemetery called Oratia Cemetery at 541 West Coast Road,Shaw Road meets West Coast Road about 100 meters away,definitely worth looking into

Hi poobear,
May I ask when/where your James was born?
There is some conflicting info from other Shaw descendants in my Family that my John Shaw had a Brother James that came to NZ with him.
Trish :)
-
James Shaw was born in Kilsyth, Scotland and came out to NZ in 1860's. He did have a brother David Shaw also in NZ and had a brother John Shaw who went to Australia.
-
Was David Shaw married to Amelia Henry? I have them in my tree ..... They settled out Clevedon way.
Cheers

Their death registrations will normally show this information they can be ordered online for a cost of $26 each.

Ellen Shaw is in the index ref: 1892/3266. I could not find James.

Hi kglm,
I is advisable to order a printout rather than a certificate,A) it is cheaper and B) is usually has more information
From BDM
What is a printout?
Generally a scanned image of the record.
It is in a typed format for an event from 1998.
It is also typed for earlier records which have been updated or corrected.
What is a certificate?
Is an official document containing registered information.
A certificate contains less information than a printout.
The costs are here

Many thanks for the repiles to this thread. My problem is on their death printouts. It only states Auckland for the burial, there is no mention of any cemetery.

Hi Poobear,
Another thought would be to contact The West Auckland Historical Society

Hello.
H/W two photos taken on a recent visit. Anglican Diocese of Auckland administered - Established in 1867, as per gate sign. Believe some interred there were raised Presbyterian, and that it was the communities local cemetery.
