Burial location help
« on: Wednesday 30 March 11 08:53 BST (UK) »
Hi there

I have a James Burgh Long who died in 1891 (NZBMD), aged 63 yrs. I believe I have him on the 1890 AKL, AKL Electoral role, on Howe Street, Occ: Clerk. I have searched Auckland cemeteries online and haven't found him. Can anyone help :)

Regards

He's still on 1893 roll
but that could easily be an error
Source   1893 Electoral Roll
Electorate   City of Auckland
Surname   LONG Given Names   James Burgh
Place of Residence   Howe St
Occupation   Clerk

Hi Lil,

I wonder if he is a churchyard?
Symonds St cemetery closed in 1886,Mangere cemetery opened in 1894 so that eliminates them.
Howe St is pretty near the city centre running off Karangahape road nornally it would have been Purewa or Waikumete

Cheers Janette

Hmmm Althea, I wonder. I went and checked Christchurch cemetery's as that was where he previously lived, he's not there. Thought maybe James in AKL might have been a son.

Janette, thanks, have checked Waikumete, Purewa, Mangere and smaller cemetery's, am not finding him though.

Hi lil,
Not sure if you have this already, but looks like he married Georgina Connolly Doolan 1877, and she died 1910 and is buried at Waitara. Perhaps that might lead to a clue  ???

Hi John

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do have the information you gave, thanks :)

I believe they may have seperated, Georgina didn't appear with him on the Electoral Role that I saw in Auckland 1890. Shes not with him on the 1800-1881 in Heatcote, Canterbury but I dont see any womans names on that, this maybe before woman were allowed on the rolls. Georgina is in Avon, Canterbury in 1896 and 1900.
I wonder though if its worth looking in Cnterbury for his death. I've not found him in Taranaki.

Yes you are right about the rolls, first registration for women was 1893..lots missed the E Roll deadlines, so you tend to get more complete roll by 1896
