Hi everyone,

Richard HINGSTON was born circa 1833 in France and arrived in New Zealand in December 1868 per Alhambra from Melbourne as an Armed Constabulary recruit. He was discharged in October 1869.

He subsequently featured in New Zealand Police Gazettes with convictions and gaol time for larceny.

He doesn't appear to have married.

No mentions on Archway.

He died on 14 October 1906, however I cannot find any record of his place of death or burial.

Can anyone find where he died or was buried, please?

New Zealand Completed Requests / Excellent newspaper article: The Mystery of Mrs MUIR
« on: Saturday 21 November 20 23:44 GMT (UK)  »
The first coach of the Silver Ferns was a woman known only as Mrs MUIR. But who was she?

This excellent article which appears on Stuff recounts the hunt to identify Mrs MUIR and learn her history. It's a great story and reminds us why we love genealogy.
