Robert Freer Roger, c1929 - 1954
« on: Tuesday 22 May 12 18:00 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am doing a wee bit of research for a freind... Her uncle was Robert Roger, who was born in Biggar, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in 1929, came to Wanganui. New Zealand, in c1953...was there about 6 months and was killed in an accident involving a horse.  He is buried in Palmerston Court cemetry.  If anyone can send us info about this  incident or send a picture of his headstone (if there is one).  Any help would be good..
Thanks  in anticipation,
Regards,
Lynda

Hi
I've requested the relevant copies of the 'Wanganui Chronicle' newspaper - and see what info I can find for you.
Best wishes
Elli
