 :) Photo of headstone Annie and John Maguire taken today. Stone itself is intact and readable condition though the concrete plot is in a sorry state.

Nice patch of sunshine between the showers to coincide with the visit too  :)
Waikaraka Cemetery is on flat land and the excessive rain we've had has made everywhere wet underfoot so went prepared.

I could possibly post pic  :-\  unsure if there is an issue there, it is nearly 100yrs since burial... Mk 2 you might have an answer for me there please  :)

Otherwise Tony, if you PM me your email address I will forward it (them) to you that way..

 :) mare

I wouldn't think there is any issue with a grave stone.   :)

Perhaps I should put up the inscription on the stone :

In Loving Memory of                                         
Annie
beloved wife of
John Maguire
Who Departed This Life
30th September 1908
Aged 70 years
RIP
ALSO
For The Repose of the Soul of
John Maguire
Who Died April 26th 1912
Aged 80 years
May Their Souls Rest In Peace
Mc nab & Mason

           
and hopefully no objection, the long shot pic...
