New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: WHITAKER James and HINERARO Peti (who's daughter married a BICKERTON)

Hi,
Being a descendant of James Whitaker and Irihapeti Potatau (via Isabella Bickerton) and based on another post that said he is buried at Whangaroa in Okura (or Otakura) Cemetery I tried to find the grave site last week but there appears to be no such cemetery - just the one behind the old (1883) Anglican church (which there's no apparent grave site for James). There is an Okura Bay on the other side of the harbour but no official cemetery there. Does anyone have further information on the Okura cemetery?
