Ideas needed to help find John Easton, miner

[Andrew Morison]

Hi Eliza, i know this is a long shot but do you have any grave details if any for John Easton ??   He is the last of my great great grandparents and the only one i don't have a photo of the grave.  I visited his wifes grave in the Bromley Cemetery in Christchurch NZ tonight and gave it a tidy up.  Hope you are well

Hello Eliza, hi it's me again from New Zealand.  Sorry but where did you find the passenger listing for Barbara Ingles Easton and her children travelling from the UK to New Zealand in 1894 on the RMS Gothic?  I am having trouble locating this list for my records here.

Thanks and I hope you are well

Found on FindMyPast site about 6 years ago in their collection Passenger Lists Leaving UK 1890-1960.

At the time I had a subscription to FindMyPast.

Also on the first page of this topic is a post which gives a link to the Family Search record for the family's emigration. The link doesn't work any more but if you go to the New Zealand passenger lists on FamilySearch, you'll be able to find it, albeit incorrectly spelt (as the rootschat member on the first page points out).

Thanks Minniehaha, the inquest was an interesting article. I wonder what happened to the young woman.

Hello Eliza,
I have seen your questions about John Easton and his wife Barbara and your queries about her arrival in New Zealand.
Barbara was my great grandmother and I know her story well.
This is my first time on the site so I will wait your reply to see if I have actually reached you.

regards
Margot
