Hi newbe


Another fantastic find, I can remember visiting this grave alot as a child, going to the cemetery always intrigued me as I would always try to imagine what peoples lives would have been like.
Thanks again for your fantastic help.

Your welcome

Let me know if you would like copies of the death notices for them all.  Shold be easy to get as I think they would be in the Oamaru newspaper or the Otago Daily Times

What a wonderful offer, that would be great if it is possible and any that can be found would be appreciated, I believe that Bridget Ross had a obituary notice as she served as the local midwife for many births in the area.

Thanks

I have ordered the notices from the national Library in Wellington.

I will wait for those ones to come then see if the can find the Obit for her.

Sounds like one of my relies who was also a midwife back in the early 1900's

Will let you know when I get them in the post.

Hopefully it may have the childrens names in it as well.

I had another look for the two remaining childrens births but with out knowing if they had a middle name it is very hard to find.

I will wait for the death notices and see what they say first.

Hi newbe

Thanks for the death notices, interesting to see my grandmother referred to as Kathleen as she was always known as Catherine. I really appreciate all your help.
