Several ways of tracking family
Contact cemetery office by email mentioned above and ask for any family details/undertaker and get names

Newspaper notices for families death which can be looked up or there is a mailin donation service from North Shore Branch of NZSG

PM names of children and I'll see what can be found

Bye

Hi Diana

You may find the following link (access to all NZ telephone directories) helpful in endeavouring to find the daughters ?   ;)

Hi Diana,

I believe the office at Waikumete is also very helpful.

Hi Diana,

I can pop into the cemetery office and get a printout which may have a little more than the online database.
I can also go into the Auckland library and look up their death notices which may have their daughters married names which would enable you to look in the phone directories on the link Lu gave ,
Cheers Janette

Janette  .... if you read the first post in this thread, you'll see that the married names of the daughters are already known - hence my reason for suggesting one or other of them might well be traced quite easily, via a telephone directory listing.

Hi Di,
It would pay to remove the names of the children in case they are still living,we are not allowed to put living on the board,you can always send a personal message if needed,
