Completed Auckland Archive Obituaries lookup please
« on: Saturday 18 June 11 00:49 BST (UK) »
Wondering if it would be possible for some kind person to look up any obituaries for the following people buried at Waikumete Cemetery.
Robert Reid 6 Dec 1978
Lizzie Dickie Reid, nee' Innes15 Jan 1987
Ian Robert Reid 1 Dec 1993
Horace McNair Reid 22 Feb 2002
Thanks Colin
There are two other sons Jim a  Douglas, but have no other information about them, hoping if Obituaries are found they will help identify them.

Hi ,
It would pay to change the name of this thread to Auckland Library look up as that is where the newspapers are on film

Cheers Janette

It's not Auckland Library I will be doing the look ups, it is a long drive for me, but going to the Manukau Reading Room.   If I play my cards right, I should be able to stay on the reader for longer than the allocated time.

Edited Forgot, it is now known as South Auckland Research Centre.

Hi KT,

The only Rennie death in the paper was for someone else.   I searched up to the 1st April.   I am going back either during the week or next weekend as I didn't get all of mine - due to having a sick Mr KHP waiting in the car, so will look after that date in case they put a late notice in.

Cheers
