Title: Henry YATES died 1872
Post by: Eyesee on Friday 20 March 26 08:58 GMT (UK)

Henry YATES died in Masterton on 18 Jan 1872. According to Bolton Street records he was buried there in CofE plot 5403 on 21 Jan 1872. His grave is on the official list of those disinterred for the new Wellington Motorway.

Has anyone come across a funeral notice for him. Have not found one myself, so there may not have been one. He was a fairly well known person in Wellington, and would have thought there would be something.

Thanks
Ian C
