COMPLETED"Cemetery Request" Christchurch area
« on: Monday 24 January 11 21:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone,

I have a number of ancestors buried around the Christchurch area.

Josiah Hadley buried 11 December 1875 at the Weslyan Cemetery, could be under Joshua Hadley

Henry Wade buried 30 May 1888 at Avonside

Christina Hadley buried 9 September 1893 Avonside

Susannah Elizabeth Wade and Charles Hadley Wade Barbadoes Street Cemetery, area 6 - 964

any photo's of graves I would love if they still exist and if not I would be more than happy with a photo of the cemetery.

Cheers ;D

Hi Glenys,

On our resource board are the names of people who offer cemetery lookups.  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,508522.0.html.

 scroll down to the South Island and perhaps send a personal message to one of the people.

Glenys,

There are two Susannah Elizabeth Wades buried at Barbadoes Street Cemetery one in 1859 age 3 and one in 1863. It is a very old cemetery and in quite bad repair in places. It would be wonderful if there is a marker for the graves.

The Wesleyan Cemetery is no longer in use, There was a Wesleyan cemetery in Withells Road. The bodies were transferred to a common grave in Waimairi Cemetery.
So looks as if Waimarri needs to be investigated.

No luck with Hadley for Christchurch cemetery search, only later deaths 1979-2005 and one still born in 1941.
I wonder if names were lost when bodies were relocated?  :-[

This is great, Susannah Elizabeth Wade died in 1863 and it appears her brother is in the same grave.

Thank you for the Weslyan info, it looks like Josiah's body has been lost!!!....lol.

Glenys :D
