Deciphering Headstone

[mare]

 "at the" Thames New Zealand makes it sound more like the river! but perhaps just meaning it was the NZ Thames.
The word before interred in last line ends with s, so was?
and I'd go for 1873 for the year which would allow enough months for the journey.

Yes, sounds good to me.  Thanks for your help Mare, much appreciated.
Re 'at the Thames'.  You really do need to look back when researching don't you.  The terms and words can be so different to what we use now. I kept looking and it didn't fit but when I did some research on it I found it is a term used quite often in relation to Thames. So fitted perfect!
Thanks, M.

Hi,  Not sure if this is the correct place but can anyone improve on the transcribing of this headstone please.  It is for George Fisher who was a doctor in Bawtry, Yorkshire.Burial for him was in Misson 25.6.1847. A later son George was also a doctor and George's (Jnr) two sons were doctors. Any in brackets I'm unsure of. So far I have:
SACRED
TO THE MEMORY OF
GEORGE FISHER 
(   ) (   )?
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE
JUNE THE (21) 1847
AGED 36 YEARS
ALSO OF GEORGE (SON OF)
THE (SAME) GEORGE FISHER
AND JANE HIS WIFE
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE
SEPTEMBER THE 22ND 1843
AGED 4 MONTHS
ALSO OF GEORGE FORBES FOW SON OF
GEORGE FISHER PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON
 AND MARY ANN HIS WIFE AND GRANDSON
OF THE ABOVE  (    )?
WHO DIED ( the bottom three lines are a mystery to me but  the person who took the photo said on the last George all he could read was ‘31 June aged so many weeks’).

Any improvement gratefully received.  M

 Hi there I may be able to help you  I blew it up 600%  the following is what I could read


Sacred
To the Memory of George Fisher
Surgeon Bu????rd
Who departed this life
June the 21st 1847
aged 36 years
also George son of the said George Fisher
and Jane his wife
who departed this life September the 22nd 1843
aged 4 months
also of George Forbes Fow Fisher
Son of George Fisher Physician and Surgeon
and Mary Ann  his Wife and Grandson of the above
who died at the Thames New Zealand 31st of June 1873
and was interred here November 1873

So it appears that in the plot are : George senior died 1847
George his son who died aged 4 months in 1843
and George Forbes Fow Fisher who died in Thames NZ in June 1873 aged 42 weeks and was interred in November  of the same year
Cheers

Hi

The voyages could be anything from 85 - 100 days with good conditions.

  I am wondering if 31st June could be correct as June has only 30 days

excellent point! ... it is a bit too obscured to read the actual date off the photograph of the stone, other than June 1873    perhaps OP/M can work out from the birth of baby George Forbes Fow Fisher in 1872 and add the 42 weeks.

added, I didn't see the death under those names here to calculate the actual date  https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/

I saw it as 4/12 weeks?....? 22nd 1873

It's not an easy one to read but further information was found, reply #8 to say birth was found and death at 42 weeks,
added, confirmed with the bdm lookup just now 1873/7718  George Forbes F Fisher aged 42 weeks
