maybe able to help out here my great grandfaher is meredith rountree he had a brother named william james .
meredith had a wife named violet [nee hartnell]
meredith s father was jones rountree died 21-8-21 and he was married to elenor [nee gunson]died 15-8-21 .from memory possibly recall finding jones grave and meredith at the cemetary at waikiekie nth rd and to read jones requires a crayon rubbing over paper .
i believe a book early northland by j t stephens may hold more information.
the original family homestead was on rountree rd and possibly at the end of this is where the memorial to meredith and joseph is although i could not find it as the end of the rd is fenced 10 ft high and planted in pines this is in the ruarangi district--------------------------------AJHR 1876 Section H26 page 19
