Does anyone know if there is a complete list of all cemeteries that were in Auckland region in the 1880's

Thanks Janet,

I have posted before Im looking for James Shaw died 1883 died in Auckland and his wife Ellen Shaw died 1892 in Auckland.

They are a complete mystery to where they are burried??  I was just wondering if there was a list of cemeteries around that time.

Cheers Poobear

Spades beat me to posting the link

In the previous post Althea's Reply #20, is there a way of asking the FD Society (or what it is called) if they would have on their records, who might have bought the undertaker Meachem out?   Janette any ideas?

Just thinking outside the square

I see by this article in Paperspast the inquest was held at the Oretia (probably now called Oratia) Hotel

It also says he was travelling from the Henderson railway station to his residence,I suspect the minister probably travelled to Henderson to conduct the service.

It may be worth contacting the office at Waikumete Cemetery and asking them about the cemeteries mentioned in the previous thread,I know Swanson has some old graves at the front.
Another thing you could do is to have a good look on G**gle maps around the area he lived,I have found small cemeteries that way,

There is a small cemetery called Oratia Cemetery at 541 West Coast Road,Shaw Road meets West Coast Road about 100 meters away,definitely worth looking into
