Hi Angus,

Here is the likn to BDM's it is better to order a printout rather than a certificate as a) it is cheaper and b) it often has more information as it is a copy of the entry

Hi Angus

As a result of discussions I had recently with the Hutt City Council I understand that the on line website for the Taita Cemetery should be available for free access within two months. On that basis you should be able to search for the burial records in September.

I shall keep a look out for the website and alert you when it is on line.

Regards

Kiskeam

Hi Angus G

I'd found this earlier, thinking it may be related to the son, Hector.

The Karori Cemetery (Wellington), have a cremation record  for  >

JACKSON - John Smith - 89 years
Died:   6 October 1988
Service Date :   10 October 1988

You may like to post a separate request for a look-up of the death / funeral notice ?    Newspaper :  "Evening Post" (Wellington) :

[Such a notice would likely contain names of still-living persons, so resulting info would need to be sent via PM].

John S occupation is listed as a) Grocery Shopkeeper WORKER
                                           b) Chine ?? Merchant    OWN a/c
So we know that The JACKSONS were still in Scotland on 31 March 1901

I wonder when they emmigrated to NZ.??
and if they went with David & Ann ROBERTSON & Family !!

Hi Angus

John Smith and Jane Hellen JACKSON both first appear on the Hutt (Wellington) electoral roll in the year, 1911.

They settled in Petone (pronounced "petonee") where John had a business "J S JACKSON, Grocer" (may have also been known as Thorngrove Grocers ?) in Jackson Street.  [Not though, named for him.   ]   
Petone is at the Northern end of Wellington Harbour - Lower Hutt is the adjoining suburb.

Seems John was active in local business and community affairs - and at a later date he also owned a building which housed other retail businesses.
 
I think the family possibly arrived in NZ in 1910 ... but see next post   >>
