Hi shikyna,

Have you found any information on where they buried their suicide's pre 1900?

Mackiwi

Mackiwi, suicides were buried in the main cemetery. They were never buried outside the grounds as in other places. If there is someone you want to find I can ask the archivist. Sorry I missed this somehow when you posted it. Cheers Laraine

Hi Laraine, Yes please if you could check this out for me. Francis Baiel, Bail,Baylis, Bayles, Bayle, Bails
died 1st April 1871. as you can see depending on the entry to any given report or certificate as to how it was spelt.

Regards
Mackiwi

Hi there MacKiwi

I have found the paper reference, He was known as Francis Bail. I feel a bit dodgy about posting it in here but we are not allowed to give out emails so have done it as an attachment which makes it a bit more private. Now I have a name will contact the sexton. I know which part of the cemetery he will be buried in (just wrote a book on it) and if it lets me attach two things will send that as well. I might be able to find the grave if there are details, but not all the early graves have stones. 

I am picking Francis would be to the right of the photograph as this is the earliest part and pic taken late seventies by memory

Clipping was from the Wellington Independent 3rd April 1871 and had been copied from the Wanganui Chronicle.

Cheers
Laraine

Sorry I didn't realise that the attachments could be seen by everyone. Also the cemetery one did not come out so here it is.

Cheers

Hi Laraine,

Thats great, thank you. Don't worry about it being viewed by all Francis is well past caring. If it is possible to find the details of burial site I would really like to know. I would just like to know where the poor man is resting, hopefully at peace.

P S He was known by all those spellings depending on who was writing it down.

Hi, i'm wondering if you can help me out with any info on the MOORE family. Charles & Rose Moore lived in wanganui with there 7 children. Charles & Rose are buried at Aramoho Cemetery & i think 2 of their children are too. Charles & Rose nee schwass married in wanganui  around 1892, so i'm guessing that they lived there until they died, i could be wrong tho. Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA
