John from Auckland here.
I'm on the Vestry of St. Jude's Anglican Church, in Avondale, West Auckland.
Since 2008, I've been transcribing and photographing the 1-acre cemetery
which is run by our church.
We have James OWEN - 1898, aged 69, also infant daughter Florence, d. 1875.
Have located Richard James OWEN, d. 1898, aged 38 - in Purewa Cemetery, E. Auckland.
James and Florence have turned up in the 'NZ Herald' newspaper this week, due
to the rediscovery of Florence's original headstone from 1875, under a house in
Mt. Albert - some 7Km away.
The headstone has been returned to the Avondale Cemetery in the last week.
This is all free - no strings attached.
Normally, we have some 50Mb of cemetery info on our church website, which is
unfortunately down this month.
The webmaster has just moved house and is dealing with 10 years of stuff from
a previous house . . . I'm taking this opportunity to update files from 2008-10
and everything should be back in a month or two (all free as well)
Regards, John
