Title: Burial location: Peter Sinclair, Auckland 1901**completed**
Post by: Thamesite2017 on Tuesday 20 September 11 21:51 BST (UK)

Researching this man's daughter:
MARGARET ANNE SINCLAIR. Who was a writer/poet who lived may years at Thames and papers are filled with her poems (aka ROSLYN or M A SINCLAIR)
Also awaiting a reply from Takapuna Library as they have a file on her (May scream soon to see if anyone is near that library)

to find more about family am trying to find where her father PETER SINCLAIR is buried

He died Thames 25/11/1901 and was taken via boat to Auckand for interment
Only one on burial locator is Dunedin

They were Presbyterian..so maybe main presbyterian cemetery??where

Bye
Althea

Will keep this open for a few days in case anyone thinks of anything or may be connected to this SINCLAIR family

Thanks :)   He had to be buried somewhere, so I thought the only other place could be at Symonds Street.

Some of the info on the Symonds St cemetery register is complied from other records by a chap at the Auckland Library research room Peter's records stated

The New Zealand Herald of 26\11\1901 has Peter Sinclair died 25 November 1901 aged 51 years and buried 26 November 1901 in Symonds Street Cemetery.

Possibly his wife Agnes was buried there also. 
Subjects Sinclair, Peter, d.1901 

there is no plot mentioned as the info was taken from the Herald


Cheers Janette
