The notice of that James Merritt's funeral is in the paper dated 30th May 1873, for the following Friday.
I don't think he would have been buried several months before he died, so maybe they made a mistake on the cemetery index.
The cemetery details indicate that James Merritt was 41 years of age and denomination was Anglican. In the same plot (2509) was Hannah Maria Hankins, aged 44, denomination Roman Catholic.
They each seem to be the only people with their respective surnames in that cemetery.
The fact that Hannah Maria was buried so soon after James Merritt may indicate that they opened one plot at a time, and as there was space the next burial simply went there also. There was apparently no religious separation in this burial ground as has been seen in others.
I know these seem to be conflicting statements. 
We need more information or it's just guesswork.
Kirsty

Yes, that's sensible KirstyG- Is this a public grave or a private one for instance?

Have a bit of a mystery on Hannah Maria Hankins death....I found where she died and was buried, and what I'm curious about is.....
Hannah Maria Hankins died 15 May 1873......
On the cemetry records they had her down as ..interred on 17/01/1873.....plot 2509..block 174..
also buried with her is a John Merritt..who also died in 1873..interred on 12/01/1873..plot 2509..block174..
WE have since received the following information..from the West Coast Times NZ..re a coroners inquest for James Merritt, who died 28 May 1873..There is also in the West Coast Times. dated 17 May a funeral notice for a "Mrs.John Hankins Snr.
This makes me wonder...They have it they were buried before they died... and who is the reliable source..the Papers, or the Cemetry.( have contacted the cemetry, and waiting for a reply)... And..why would anyone bury a person, only to disturb the site to bury someone else on top of that person, in the same plot so many days after the last burial.. This leaves a lot of speculations as to why this happened...especially, as John Hankins, and her son were in a good financial situation....

I'm not sure..but..I see that the Hankins do get about a lot, back and fourth to Australia...I think Maria Hankins,lived in Melbourne, as I saw in a notice, that William Hankins died in Melbourne, but did not get that on the thread, as it does not really fit in with our lot....Apparently though, Maria Hankins divorced William, and I think she married his brother Edward...as I saw a death notice for Mrs Edward Hankins on Papers past.. and I have documentation that infers that.she may have married Edward....If you think its relevent I will find it..
Love the new Father Christmas's, especially the one third from the left..

I'm still very confused by who is who. If they are 'our' lot do post it as it all helps. As for Father Christmas- its not yet December and we have had Christmas stuff in the shops since the beginning of September. I've had enough of it. Where are the days when we put Christmas decorations up on Christmas Eve, not before? I'm not really a humbug, Its just so commercial now. How are children going to learn any values other than shop, shop shop til you drop?

Have just found that In the District Court of The County of Hokitika..Westland. NZ.. Edward Hankins was declared a Bankrupt....dated..9th Aug.1869..page 1
Edward was one of John Hankins sons...JH Hankins (lawyer) youngest brother..
. William Herbert Hankins..3rd son of John Hankins, and brother to both John H Hankins (lawyer) and Edward..was a jockey who died in the grand national race in NZ...3 Jun 1880..Inquest held 4 Jun 1880. That family had a lot of tragedy..poor souls.
Also a death of a Frederick Hankins...Papers past...14 Sept 1896 ) who was employed as a compositor with the Evening Post...The deceased, who was born in Victoria 33 years ago, was the son of the late Mr.Hankins, a journalist , well known in Melbourne, Hokitika, and Wellington...
I think he may have been one of John and Hannah'a grandchildren..but this has to be confirmed...

Next is...we have to wait till Chillis comes back, she said she may have some more for us, in the meantime..I'm still...looking....looking...looking...she said there is more to find, and from here its not easy.
I still would like to know who Anne (Richard Hankins wife) was..Anny who? Why dont they mention the wifes name..would make it a lot easier to trace....so far I have Richard with four Anns that could be his...
I feel we have done most of the NZ stuff now...apart from any gossip we may pick up..and with the festive season upon us, we may have to wait till the new Year....
I'm still "in the mud" ( aussie saying for stuck) on my other thread, James Nelson...he's hiding, but I'll find him....someday...as they say, you can run but you cant hide..Oh dear, did I say that....
