RANGITIRA Cemetery in Hunterville *COMPLETED*

RANGITIRA Cemetery in Hunterville  Can't find an on-line data base or anyone to contact to find where someone is buried there, any ideas  cheers

Its certainly unclear after Google'ing it, but I would start at the Rangitikei District Council (http://www.rangdc.govt.nz). If they don't have the info, I'm sure they will know who does.

Hi Tried that they only have the records for Clifton, Mt View, Taihape, Turakina

I see that is all they have on their web site, but have you asked?

Google threw up the "Rangitikei District Council - Hunterville Community Committee Meeting
Minutes – Monday 30 November 2009"

These mention the Hunterville (Rangitira) Cemetery, and seem to suggest some local management now. So perhaps it is no longer an in-use cemetery. That doesn't mean the council don't have the records. But if they don't, they should be able to give you a contact for the Community Committee.

Hi magnz

Yes, those are the cemeteries they have listed on their website, but have you actually contacted the Council and asked ?

Perhaps also contact Rangitikei Libraries ?

"Google" turns up a NZ website relating to war graves, which lists Rangitira Cemetery at Hunterville  ... maybe try that site to see if you can get a lead to who hold records ?

Do a search on Rootschat.

Seem to remember someone else was looking for burial records from Rangitira Cemetery just recently.

EDIT
Sorry it wasn't. Someone on the NZ group on Rootsweb was asking about it about a month ago. It is now a private cemetery apparently. No info on who she contacted in the end, except to say he was 'a lovely man'.

Although the Rangitikei District Council do not look after it, they may well know who does. Worth contacting them, as Lu says.
