OK.
If interested I can send you some photos of barren, early TAUPIRI in the era that the main trunk railway line was pushed through into the lower WAIKATO.
Will PM you with the heritage research email for a person who was a regular history contributor to the Saturday WAIKATO TIMES. Using the by line of HERITAGE - The dead tell tales. Usualy containing the photo of a early grave, then a researched bio of their pioneering life.

And again, another quick look. The Auckland Star 10/4/1899 reporting on the Kirikiriroa Road Board meeting, stated that section 242 had only been temorarily rerserved, and that until the permanent reservation of Taupiri Cemetery, Trustees could not be elected. So that rules out my suggestion of Taupiri being a contender.

HI AGAIN.
Sorry I have no time available to be doing a bit of research. There are a few newspaper notices where it is noted that the service would terminate at the railway station, with the body heading to a church cemetery in South Auckland or Auckland central.
The earliest colonial public cemeteries were at Cambridge, KIRIKIRIOA/HAMILTON, Ngaruawahia, followed by Taupiri. And note that the railway did not reach there until the late 1870's.

HELLO KT.
I can not answer your question directly, but I can advise that the Waikato District Council sextants office is baced at their WDC Huntly office, and if you have not been in touch with them directly, I suggest you do so.
Just phone the council office, and they will direct your call to the sextant's office.
I have found them very helpful in the past,
Alan.

Welcome to RootsChat Garth.
As you will have seen in the previous posts, I am now in the position where I can share with Deelin, AND YOU, if interested, the 40 odd photos that I took last Friday, of the FOOTE divorce papers held in the Auckland branch of Archives NZ.
I prepared them for forwarding this afternoon, so they are now available as soon as I receive a private message with instructions. [A free paying it forward service to members, in acknowledgement of the help others have provoded to me.]
Make two more posts as advised by SPAGES our moderator, then link into the private MY MESSAGE service, via the invite in the big bar at the top of the page, or you can also go directly to me via the small icon under my username at the left of the post in most dislay setups.
Regards,
Alan.

Hi Deelin
RE - QUOTE:
In the event you might want to purchase a copy of the 1906 marriage record, I'd suggest that you obtain the 1914 Divorce File (now that the 100 year embargo is lifted. )
Usually a copy of the marriage record is annexed to the Divorce papers - so you would get a "2 for the price of one" deal.

Can confirm, a certified copy was included.
