an auckland burial look up please.

[kevynne]

I have found a burial for my great uncle William Parker who died in 1954 at Ellerslie .He was buried at Waikemete cemetery aged 77.
I can't find a burial for his wife named Sylvia though I have looked at databases for other Auckland cemeteries. I have no idea if she may have predeceased him or not. I am wondering if maybe Sylvia was not her first name which is why i cant find her.
Any help or suggestions please.
Thanks
Lynne

Hi lynne,

A Sylvia May PARKER, a widow, was cremated at Purewa in 1962, aged 80.

Might that be her?

Thank you for that information. That is definately Williams burial certificate also Sylvias single name was Arnold. The Purewa burial could very possibly be her  as she was a widow when she died.
thanks so much for your help.

Hi Lynne,

Her birth.....

1881/15192   Arnold   Sylvia May    Flora   Alfred Jasper

This would appear to tie in with the age at death mentioned in reply #1.


Minniehaha.

[kevynne]

Yes I thought  that also.
Thanks
