Hello Janette,
                     Thank you for your reply. Thank you for your help.
It is much appreciated. My cousin had the plaque ordered while visiting New Zealand and has not seen it finished so I thought I would do this for him.
He has managed to reunite a family of seven siblings Six deceased who were separated in foster care.
The information you need is
William Herbert Ward
 Plot no 1308
Lawn Plaque North.

Thank you again for your help.
Regards
Maria

Hi Maria,

Is this the death

Why  I ask is the plot is in an older part of the cemetery

Cheers Janette

Hi Janette, that looks like,him, He died in the 50's and was in his 60's, but a plaque was only placed last year.

Thanks

Hi Maria , I was reluctant to come in with any promises for this one but managed to go by the cemetery today and get a photo or several for you between the showers.
Here's a little sneak peek, PM me with your email address and I'll forward you the others  :) mare

You're welcome, Maria .. and clarifying my reluctance was not based on willingness, purely the generosity of another party and time constraints  ... hope you were able to follow the photo captions ok  :) mare
