 Hi Uregirl
I have no relationship to this family however I did know them  John Ure Gray b1897  died in Whangarei Northland NZ on the 12/02/1978 and  cremated at the Maunu Lawn Cemetery Crematorium  14/02/1978 .
Marjorie Drouin  Gray (Donkin) b 1909 also died in Whangarei NZ on the 28/07/2001 and was cremated on the 01/08/2001 also a the the Maunu Facility , one of  their son's Robert Melbourne Ure  Gray ( Known as Bob). b 1933 Melbourne Australia  died 14/08/2002 in Whangarei NZ and was Cremated on the 19/08/2002 also at the Maunu Facility , Bob was a Linotype operator for many years, until they became obsolete , at the local Northern Publishing Company  who printed the local newspaper "The Northern Advocate", he married a girl that he worked with Kathy  ??? the had one child a girl but later divorced , Kathy later married a very good friend of mine who has just recently passed away

 George and Mary Ann, married c 1870-71 , came to NZ  on the sailing ship "Caduceus" 1006 tons Cpt Roberts, sailed Gravesend for Auckland NZ on the 18th October 1871 arrived in Auckland NZ 2nd February 1872 Saloon Passengers Dr  and Mrs  Fisher  ( no Children) George was also the ships Superintendent Surgeon  for the voyage . ( source : Auckland Star 1872 and Daily Southern Cross (Auckland ) 1872 ( Papers Past ) , also ships to NZ passenger lists ,  at this stage I cant find  their departure. I also have a copy of the birth notice  for George Forbes Fow Fisher from the Daily Southern Cross 4th September 1872 reads: Fisher ; On August the 11th at Grahamtown, the wife of George Fisher Surgeon of a son . cant find a death notice .
From papers past I have established that George must have gone straight to Thames , in 1872-73 he was a Doctor - Surgeon in Pollen Street Thames and also a member of the Grahamstown Fire Brigade Cheers

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Deciphering Headstone
« on: Wednesday 17 September 14 23:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi,  Not sure if this is the correct place but can anyone improve on the transcribing of this headstone please.  It is for George Fisher who was a doctor in Bawtry, Yorkshire.Burial for him was in Misson 25.6.1847. A later son George was also a doctor and George's (Jnr) two sons were doctors. Any in brackets I'm unsure of. So far I have:
SACRED
TO THE MEMORY OF
GEORGE FISHER 
(   ) (   )?
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE
JUNE THE (21) 1847
AGED 36 YEARS
ALSO OF GEORGE (SON OF)
THE (SAME) GEORGE FISHER
AND JANE HIS WIFE
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE
SEPTEMBER THE 22ND 1843
AGED 4 MONTHS
ALSO OF GEORGE FORBES FOW SON OF
GEORGE FISHER PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON
 AND MARY ANN HIS WIFE AND GRANDSON
OF THE ABOVE  (    )?
WHO DIED ( the bottom three lines are a mystery to me but  the person who took the photo said on the last George all he could read was ‘31 June aged so many weeks’).

Any improvement gratefully received.  M

 Hi there I may be able to help you  I blew it up 600%  the following is what I could read


Sacred
To the Memory of George Fisher
Surgeon Bu????rd
Who departed this life
June the 21st 1847
aged 36 years
also George son of the said George Fisher
and Jane his wife
who departed this life September the 22nd 1843
aged 4 months
also of George Forbes Fow Fisher
Son of George Fisher Physician and Surgeon
and Mary Ann  his Wife and Grandson of the above
who died at the Thames New Zealand 31st of June 1873
and was interred here November 1873

So it appears that in the plot are : George senior died 1847
George his son who died aged 4 months in 1843
and George Forbes Fow Fisher who died in Thames NZ in June 1873 aged 42 weeks and was interred in November  of the same year
Cheers
