Mumford Descendants Christchurch *COMPLETED*

[Quilter Fran]

That is too sad. I want to cry with you. Hard to understand why someone would do such a thing.

Thanks newbe,
Fran

Hi Fran,

I went back to the library and checked the cemetery book.  If there was a headstone it was missing when they were transcribed about 1978

Sorry I could not be of more help with this for you

Cheers

For those of you who are interested in the Mumfords buried in the Linwood Cemetery Christchurch I would just like to let you know that there are 6 Mumford graves in our cemetery they are:
1: David and Matha Mumford Block 22 Plot 18
2: Samuel (6yrs) Olive (8yrs) and Veronica (10yrs) in BLock 43 Plot 78...these 3 children drowned at Riccarton Racecourse 19/1/1916
3: Emma North Mumford 1851-1903 who married Morgan Davis 1841-1875 in Block 18 Plot 191
Emma was born at sea while the Castle Eden lay in anchor in Lyttelton Harbour.

I am a trustee for the Linwood Cemetery but the Mumfords are also on my ex husbands Horwell family tree....Charles Fredrick Horwell married Evelyn Ada Mumford 1871-1943
I would also like you to know that I have last week I cleaned up the grave of the 3 Mumford children and have planted Pansy's on the grave which has sides but no headstone....I will also attending to the grave of Martha and David and Emma over the next few weeks as part of a family project to maintain all Horwell connected graves in the Linwood Cemetery. I hope this information reassures you that the family graves are being cared for:)

Sorry to join in so late, there are Mumfords buried at Barbadoes Street Cemetary in Christchurch - I think it is some of the children (or childrens children) of David & Martha.

Also, Morgan Davies who was Emma North Mumfords husband is buried with the Mumfords at Barbadoes Street.

I live very close by and can visit to take some photos if anyone would like? Would be glad to help.
