Can anyone help with any information on either Joseph, died 1926, and Leah, died 1913 their daughter Frances Leah Lilley, died 1960 and her son Walter died 1985. I have been able to trace the family back through the Christchurch library cemetery data but cannot get back any further. I think Leah emigrated to New Zealand in about 1876. I think Joseph emigrated to New Zealand in about 1863. Any help would be welcomed.

I think Zorah should read as Sarah ....this will be a transcription error.

Hello Kurow........
If you send for a birth printout for one of the children you may be lucky in obtaining a birth-place for the parents.
Here is a list of the data collected:
