Muirhead - East Taieri
« on: Saturday 27 June 20 21:38 BST (UK) »
I was trolling Papers Past looking for filler on family near Auckland and stumbled across a missing family who left Scotland mid 1800's. I have them travelling to Australia but never found any traces.

The 31 Jan 1936 Obit in the Otago Daily Times for Robert Muirhead is quite informative but now I am in search for records which I should be able to find from past experience.  But what I will need assistance with is East Taieri Cemetery Burials, specifically, Muirhead and Waddell pre 1936.

Thank you.

You can do a cemetery search here - https://www.dunedin.govt.nz/services/cemeteries/cemeteries-search.  Most of the Dunedin Cemeteries have headstone photos.
