These are the deaths for Mary Jane MURPHY at the NZ BDM site since 1/1/1880.

The person with the 1936 death was the widow of John MURPHY, and she lived in Hamilton - there is an obituary in the NZ Herald.

Then there is this story, from the Feilding Star, 22 September 1915. This would put the death of the wife of Denis MURPHY of the Chatham Islands at around 1902

But where is the death registration?
I do not see it.

Unless it is one of the Mary MURPHY's who died in 1902.

Maybe registered without 'Jane' being included?

1902/869   Murphy   Mary   78Y

1902/7605   Murphy   Mary   58Y   

1902/8040   Murphy   Mary   74Y

I think the 58 year old would be the best bet - young enough at marriage in 1870 to have 12 children.

A biographical note from the Canterbury Museum's collection about one Dennis MURPHY of Chatham Islands.
Married a hotel waitress. Was this our Mary?

Sorry to pop into this conversation a few months late,
I have visited Mary Jane Boon's grave last year, as it was known by a descendant of Ellen (who is not a blood-Murphy)

this link, is the location https://goo.gl/maps/qjuz1YmpsKd9su5H9 in the All Saints Anglican Church grounds, in Burwood, Christchurch

The grave site is just labelled 'Mother' so made it hard to find record of it. It's a beautiful location, just by the Avon river
