Post by: Andrew Morison on Monday 14 September 15 03:16 BST (UK)
I am seeking information and hopefully photographs etc etc on my Great Great Grandparents Alfred Rodolph Ragg and his wife Margaret Ragg (nee Barker).  They are buried in the Linwood Cemetery in Christchurch New Zealand, they were apparently married in Sheffield UK in 1883

Alfred born 11/3/1858 died 2/8/1931
Margaret born 16/2/1859 died 17/8/1941

Thank you

Do you know when they came to New Zealand - are they likely to be on a census in the UK?
