The Christchurch Museum also has an extensive photo catalog that can be viewed onsite. Unfortunately it is not online and you need to first search the index and then manually request the photo file for viewing. This can take up to 24 hours to retrieve. This facility is also only open during business hours.

I have in the past while in Christchurch searched the index and found some content regarding the Mills family. I unfortunatly ran out of time to go through it all.

I did find a hand drawn family tree for Arthur Henry Mills (b1872 d1956) and Janet Ralston. Arthur Henry Mills was a son of Alexander Charles Mills and Emma nee Loader.

Have a look at page 1 of this forum

James Edward Mills   Birth:  23 APR 1841    Saint Peter Port, Guernsey  Death:  1919

You may be able to track down where they are buried by searching the online Cemetary database at the Christchurch library.

The marriage certificate for Frederick Valentine Mills and Amy Gertrude Foster is dated 1st January 1902.

Emily Emma Mills the mother of Alexander died 22nd December 1901 and is buried in Linwood cemetary. The previous photo submitted cannot be Alexander's mother Emily Emma Mills as she died before the wedding

The photo albums that I have were inherited from my late grandmother whose father was Frederick Valentine Mills

Attached is the Wedding photo of Frederick Valentine Mills and Amy Gertrude Foster in Papanui Christchurch in early 1900s. On the right hand side of the porch is Alexander Charles Mills in the rear. In front of him are unknow but I summise it maybe the brothers & sisters of Frederick Valentine Mills. Emma Mills nee Loader is on the left hand Porch next to the column. To the left of her is an unknown family relative. She is prominant throughout the photo albums I have. It may possibly be Emily Emma Mills nee Webb (1813-1901) but I will have to double check the date of the wedding.

Anyone have any old family photos that might help identify the people?
