Hi Mackiwi

217 Gill Street doesn't appear to be there anymore. The numbers only go up to 209 on one side and 220 on the other and these are right at the end of a dead end. It's unfortunate.

Amy is buried in St Lukes. Had a look at historical bmd, there is an Amy Gilbert that died 1887 and a  child Amy 10 mths that died the same year. ( just looked on papers past, the child died in Grovetown, South Island and was adopted).

John died 63 years, he is buried at St Lukes, Bell Block

Also I forgot to add these: arrival of John and William Feakins
June 27, 1874 expected arrival to the port of Wellington from overseas, on the Waikato. John aged 24 years and William aged 22 years.

They later arrived in New Plymouth
