I found what I was looking for today after wandering around at the wrong end for some time. There is a map showing the areas by religion on a workmen's shed there.
I want to share it as it certainly helped me.

Thanks so much for all of your help. Most likely he is in the Anglican section as he came to NZ in early 1964 due to the Church of England Emigration Society.

Thanks a lot Mk2. I guess I should start from the oldest looking headstones. Gt Grandfather's headstone is made of Granite from Labrador that looks like beautiful royal blue pearls and was made by Mr W Parkinson of Auckland in 1901. There is a photo on the FindaGrave site, but no amount of looking at it tells me what part of the cemetery it is. I will happily check it out tomorrow. Cheers.

I have just found out that my Gt Grandparents are buried at the Papakura Cemetery and I've found the abbreviated positions online. Is there a map that I could identify where these places are?
I don't live very far from Papakura and I'm very keen to visit them.

Most of the other photos of the lady in question have a feather headress, but she is younger too.....
I'm very fond of this as it is one half of the photo that I grew up with ... can't post the both of them as it's too big . . .
