All went well at work with conservation and display work...was a lot of hardwork but very rewarding now its done.  So back into the genealogy for me now I have spare time now brain not pre-occupied with work.

Barrie could be the brother of Henry Madison/Madinson/Mattinson Cardon. I have three different spellings for Henrys second christian name.

Re-hashing this topic....

I have the death printout for Martha, death 1879 Waiuku, but no burial information on it....grrrr. I have had the Franklin Cemeteries searched aprox 6 times over the last 5 years, for many a name variation, but still no luck.

Most of the family that died around the same are buried very close to one another in Waiuku Cemetery, but no Martha or Thomas either.

I have even done a walk around of several local cemeteries in Waiuku and still no luck.

I thought perhaps she may have been buried with her first son ( who I also cant find) What has happened to her/them, surely in 1879 they wouldnt have travelled to far away with a deceased body anyway?

Death printout gives cause of death as exhaustion from childbirth 1 day, but there are no birth or death entries for any child this year, so likely she was still pregnant at time of death?

Please help me , I would really like to find where she was interred and acknowledge her.
