Hello...

Christchurch Archives holds a 1978 probate file for a Jessie EVELEIGH. If it is your Jessie the file may mention children or grand children.

EVELEIGH Jessie - Christchurch - Widow   1978
http://archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=21810187

Possibly corresponds to the 1978 listing for a Jessie EVELEIGH on the Christchurch Cemetery website.

The cemetery website mentions that the deceased was born in Geelong, Victoria. However the age is given as 78 years which I think is an error. Both the BDM NZ website and the NZSG Burial Locator CD give the age at death as 89 years.

BDM NZ - 1978/50022 - EVELEIGH,   Jessie - d.o.b 20 February 1888 - d.o.d 14 Jan 1978

BDM NZ website
https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/

Christchurch City Council cemeteries
http://librarydata.christchurch.org.nz/Cemeteries/

-------

Maybe start a new thread asking for a look-up of the probate file.

Here is an example of a Christchurch Archives look-up thread

Hi
I have a newspaper death notice for George Leonard EVELEIGH died 1985 and buried at Karori.
I think I have the relationships 'sussed' but will PM you the details as there are a number of people mentioned, still living.

Best wishes
Elli
