Hi

Here is notice for Alfred LOWE - died 1928 > 
https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/AS19280704.2.5

Does seem perhaps that his family may have been buried in a churchyard (rather than a public cemetery)  ???    Holy Trinity cemetery, Otahuhu was Alfred's place of burial in 1928.

Just a thought but maybe you could make contact with the person who photographed the plots plan?

Hi kinky

... it seems there might be a lack of records for Holy Trinity cemetery, Otahuhu.

But someone more familiar with Auckland, may be able to give further details about Anglican burial records.    [ ... and whether they might be held by Anglican Archives ... ??
