There are several avenues you could try to find out more about this area and cemetery.

I have just tried to find three at the Papakura Cemetery.

It took me approx 45 mins and didn't even cover half of it.

I only found 1 plaque and RSA part which is reasonably easy. It is unfortunate that they don't have Row numbers at the end of rows make searching a lot easier.

But you would not be able to walk around some of it with a walker or wheelchair.

I don't know if this helps but I think there were British soldiers injured in the Boer War there as my Gr Gr Aunt nursed them.

The Common Room / John (Jack) Osten (Austin) Wright
« on: Saturday 07 January 12 01:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I am looking for the 2nd marriage and death of Jack Wright
He was born 1890 Nelson New Zealand
Divorced 1927 and presumably left for Australia around that time.
He could have married (Edith Sylvia .....) and lived in 15 Pond St Mt Gravatt, Queensland.

Thank you for your time
Rita James
