John Morris Whitmore - lookup

[DonL]

Hi, John Morris Whitmore (previously known as John Morris Whitmore CHRESTENSON) married Susannah Crundwell (also known as Annie Crundwell) in Wellington on 20th October 1900.

He was born on Capetown in 1859.

Annie died on 12th July 1932.

I can find no trace of John Morris Whitmore (or Chrestenson)'s death.

any suggestions?

Have been reading other thread
what was the outcome to the JOhn Morris being wrong one d 1935, on the age? but could this have unreliable, unless birth cert seen

also mentioned

Hi Lucy - I must also mention that there is a John Sydney Whitmore buried at the Old Taita Cemetery - date of death 8th Aprl 1935 - bit of a conicidence two John Whitmores passing away in the same year and not physically very far apart. I have no idea of his age - but could have been related to John Morris Whitmore - my father never spoke of any Whitmore relatives though...

this JOhn was 5

Thanks Lucy2 and Althea - I had a feeling that I may have posted this query before but my search on Rootschat did not come up with anything so thought I may have posted this on some other site.

And unfortunately the notes I had on my old family tree programme did not all transfer over to Legacy7 (full version) which I installed late last year.

I am going down to Wellington over Easter and had hoped to spend some time at the Archives NZ but now find they are closed over Easter but my sister and I intend to visit the Bolton Street, Taita  and Karori cemeteries to photograph what is available. There well may be an age mistake in the records as John Whitmore should have been 75 or 76 at the time of his death. His marriage in 1900 said his age was 41 - so born about 1859. If 62 is the correct age - he would have been born about 1873 which would have made him about 27 at the time of his marriage - big age gap here.

Both John and Annie are buried in the Catholic section and had the same Funeral Directors - so there is a good chance they might be connected.

Anyway again, many thanks for you diligence

From the NZSG there is the following:

Name WHITMORE John Morris
Date 1919
Source Electoral Rolls: Wellington Central


nothing more is included and you can try the NZSG on-line
which requires membership.

Thanks Saddles, I have the NZSG discs so have that info.

Also through Wellington Cemeteries I have a John Whitmore but there is an age discrepancy so will have a look at the headstone (if any) when I am down In Wellington over Easter.

Thanks for your feedback though.
