Hi Lucy

Many thanks for posting these most useful sites.

I found that for Karori the url needs to be altered to http://www.wellington.govt.nz/services/cemeteries/search/search.php

Hi Kiskeam

Cheers for that   

Yes, after posting this, I clicked onto link ... and swore mildly when I got an error page  !!   

Did mean to get back to it this afternoon to investigate the problem  .... so many thanks for sorting it out.

Lucky you Constance- and thanks for the link Lu.
I looked for Edward Blakey HASTINGS aka "Stack" Hastings b 1880ish in England and went to NZ in 1927 to Wellington but I had no joy.
Maybe he left Wellington and died elswhere--- so the search goes on.

Thanks again for the link ,

Hi Charlotte

Sorry to hear you were not as lucky as Constance.

The following link will take you to other online NZ cemetery databases - fingers crossed, you might just find your Edward yet.

Hi again Charlotte

Have a look at the "Resources for Genealogists searching in NZ" thread on the first page of this board - loads of good info there.     [And lots of willing helpers on this board too].
