I found her record. What does the statement "With two codicils" mean?

What's the best way to access a probated will from 1872. Are they available on line?

Anybody know when rootsweb is likely to be up and running again? I keep getting this message, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzbound/auckland.htm#Sydney
And I want to check some shipping lists for 1848-52

I don't have marriage details for them, but 1873 is very likely as Mary Ursula was born in 1874.

Could well be. The family had some means and appeared to do a fair bit of travelling. Rhoda's birth was registered in New Zealand however, but that doesn't mean she wasn't born in Tasmania unless the enumerator got it wrong. NZBDM record 1879/13757 Bethell Rhoda DOB 11/3/1879 Isabel Richard.
Nelson, a probable birthplace is in the Tasman district of New Zealand.
The obituary on Brother Marmaduke has a confusing statement.

Quote
Mr Bethell was born at Nelson on November 18, 1976, and was the only son of Richard and Isabel Bethell. Richard Bethell was then the owner of a property which he called Burnham, after his birthplace, Burnham Beeches, in Surrey, and this is how Burnham in Canterbury derives its name.He's on the NZBDM register as born Nelson New Zealand, so the reference to Burnham Beeches may be a reference to the family "seat" or the birthplace of his father who died in New Zealand 30 Apr 1885; and, yes Isabel was certainly a widow in 1911

Rosie, you are right. I am on the "other side of the world'. I was born and live in New Zealand.Here is a little bit on the family I am trying to put together. Rhoda's sister Mary Ursula Bethell was a poet of some distinction in NZ. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/186414674/mary-ursula-bethell
There is quite a bit about Mary in Te Ara https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/4b29/bethell-mary-ursula
Her brother Marmaduke was a distinguished farmer in Culverden. Rhoda is the one I am having difficulty with. Her name is listed in Findmypast, but I am not a member, so the index is all I can see. FamilySearch, of which I am a member, has her probate, but little else on her life.

Am I right in thinking that St. Mary's might be Catholic? Although I have no proof of Rhoda's own affiliation, I do know her parents and siblings were Anglican. Nothing in her will to suggest where her final resting place might be.

Something not right with that last link you gave me Rosie. I'm getting a 404 error.

« on: Wednesday 21 February 18 07:27 GMT (UK) »Have you looked on Findagrave and similar sitesIt took a lot of searching through New Zealand cemeteries before I found her probate. It is because I want to link her back with her family on Findagrave, that I would like to trace her final disposition.
She is a member of the Bethell family that once owned Rise Hall
