You are very welcome.
It was only by chance earlier this week that I came across the Auckland Libraries Heritage Collection too.
Thanks for your assistance.

Cheers

Hi Spades,
I am updating my "Participants at the Battle of Gate Pa [29 April 1864] and Battle of Te Ranga [21 June 1864] and have been looking for soldiers dates of death and places of burial.

While looking for another soldier and not finding his death/burial I started looking at the Auckland Libraries Heritage Collection - digital cemetery records and found this soldier was buried in the Symonds Street cemetery.

When you mentioned that Edmond Andrahan was in the Armed Constabulary I went back to see if I could find him on this list - which is where I found him, and then googled the Opepe Military cemetery and found further information and images.

Spades,
Armed with the info re Armed Constabulary I found his death/burial.  The name on his headstone is that of Edward ANDREHEN.

He died on 7 October 1875 at Opepe and is buried in the Opepe Military cemetery, Bay of Plenty, age 43 years.  This cemetery is located on the Napier-Taupo Road.

Thanks again.

Many thanks Spades for your postings and clarifying OT is Otahuhu not Otago.
Back to the electoral rolls to see what I can find.
I hadn't found the information about him being attested into the Armed Constabulary.
Thanks again

New Zealand / Death/burial details for Edmond ANDRAHAN
« on: Monday 22 April 24 06:10 BST (UK)  »
Private Edmond ANDRAHAN, 43rd Monmouthshire Light Infantry No 2775 came to NZ on the ship Lady Jocelyn which arrived in Auckland ex Calcutta on 10 December 1863.

He fought at the Battle of Gate Pa [29 April 1864] and the Battle of Te Ranga [21 June 1864], Tauranga.

The book Discharged in NZ by Hugh and Lyn Hughes records that he was born in Glynn, Limerick and was discharged 24 March 1866 in OT [Otago?]

I am looking for death and burial details.

I have searched The Wilson Collection, NZ Ancestry Search Helper, The Collections - Archives NZ, electoral roll for Dunedin 1866-67, Familysearch, Ancestry and Paperspast.  Also checked the Dunedin City Council cemetery records online.

Grateful for any assistance.

Many thanks Forfarian for this information which is much appreciated.

Thank you to all who have read and replied to my posting.

I will now close this posting while I work with this information to see if there is any connection to "my" Hunter family.
