Thomas Radbourne Waters
« on: Friday 11 May 12 21:38 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information on Thomas Rathbourne Waters who was born in Kilsby< Northamptonshire in 1838.

He was last recorded in the UK in 1861.

In 1885 he married his 2nd wife Annie Christina Frank in Nelson NZ.

His original occupation was a Wheelwright/Carpenter but he became the Battery Manager for United Alpine Quartz Co, Ltd in NZ

Could someone find him on a NZ census and his date of death please?

Regards,
Poirot

Hello,

These may be his children

If that is the case, then here is his burial - 3 Sept 1970 aged 83

My eyes aren't picking up anything for Thomas.

There is a Christina Waters buried at Oamaru Cemetery, died in 1920 aged 81.  Wonder if this is her?

You don't happen to have the birth year of Annie Christina? Just makes it easier to match the birth year with age of death.  Perhaps she went by her 2nd name?
