Hi

Have spent another big day searching and have found what may be the death of James Walsh. In past papers there is a death of James Walsh on the 12 September 1887, due to an accident. Also found a note saying he was buried in Greymouth so will have to go back to the Council tomorrow.

Hi thanks for all the information on this post. Just going to give you all a headache, family information of Ann Walsh wife of James Walsh. Ann was know to family as Nancy, when my mother in law talked to Harriet (her Grandmother) years ago she was given the information that Nancy was also know by Agnes and Mary. She knew there were things that were not to be talked about.

Went to the cemetery this week to see Ann's grave, yes I found it and it is the one pictured in findagrave. Local council records are not online so every search is via the council. Council records only gave me that she was recorded as Annie Walsh (headstone says Ann) records also show that there is no headstone. I had the right location as they drew me a map.

Hugh Henry Hambleton married Harriet Walsh(e) 2 June 1909 in Wellington. Children Alison Gertrude 10/2/1911. Hugh Galbraith 22/10/1913. Nancy Durelle (after her grandmother) 8/11/1917.

Hugh Galbraith Hambleton married Betty Gwen Sycomore nee Moss in Wellington.
