George PAUL *COMPLETED THANKS*

[helendg]

I'm new to this site, but am hoping that a 'listener' will be able to help me.  I have discovered a descendant (after a 10 year search), details as follows:  George Paul, born 2 Nov 1820 in Scotland, died 20 July 1891 at Nevis, Otago.   I've googled the Nevis and it appears that it is near Queenstown.  I have a copy of his Probate file, but it makes no mention of his burial place.  I have done a search online and can see that there is an old cemetery at the Nevis (looks beautiful), however, the records to the cemetery have been destroyed.   I'm currently living in South America, but am trying to track down a photo of his grave, or the records to the cemetery so that I can visit 'in the future'.  Any assistance would be most appreciated.
