Hi It is just after 12pm on Monday - have called the rectory got an answer phone & another number to try - got another answer phone.  Very busy parish

Will try again this evening.

I will NOT give up - like a dog with a bone!!!

[lyndahirst_1]

hehheee... nothing quite like a family researcher with a clue in sight eh?! 

[Plummiegirl]

Well it is now 19.38pm - have called again - got the anwerphone - have left a message -you have now become my cousin our grannies were sisters!!  Well if he thought I was not related he might not call back.

Have asked him to call back tomorrow after midday (am out am).  O/H in bed, he's a postman & hates the phone going off after he's fallen asleep.  He closes his eye, breathes in about twice & hey presto he is fast asleep, wish I could go off that easily.

I am determined to get somewhere here!!

[lyndahirst_1]

hehhee..... not all bad if he goes off to sleep that quickly.... gives you time to indulge your hobby without interference eh... My O/H is always telling me how late it is and do I realise how tired I'll be in the morning etc... and they say women nag......

By the way 'cuz' :-))   I'm told today our grandpa/grandma, are also buried in same graveyard 'somewhere' so if you do get through to them, would you ask for any details they may have on Evan JONES and  Catherine/ Katherine Jane JONES [nee Thomas] who died between 1947-1954 please . ?

I understand they were both living at 14 Page Street at time of death [same as my Nana] but as their names are quite 'common', I haven't been able to accurately identify BMD data to order a certificate as yet so if they can find both in the Church register, tnat would be awesome indeed....

[Plummiegirl]

Right - it is now 19.37 Tues. still nothing back - so have called again & listened to the answerphone message again

I can contact the office tomorrow between 9am - 1pm  so will try again then

If not would you be prepared to wait a little while and I can sent a letter to see if I can get the info that way.

By the way if you google St. Peters Church, Cockett there is a lovely photo of the church, not a lot of useful info.
It is now an Evangelical Church.

cripes -- what a mission this is turning into!  Thanks ever so much for all your help -- If anyone ever needs anything looked up/checked/photographed here in Christchuch NZ, you only need to let me know and I'm there!

There's no frantic rush at all only curiosirty on my part to be able to understand the connection and how they ended up in same grace so as/when you have the opportunity would be wonderful.

Many thanks!

  DANCES ROUND THE ROOM 

Contacted the Sextant, David Machin, a very lovely old man, he has all the records on computer which makes access easier, he was more than happy to help. 

David Samuel Jones is in grave SW97 he died 6 June 1947

Grave 97a is a totally different grave, so she is not buried with either a relative or a stranger!!!

Catherine/Katherine Jane Jones (nee Thomas) died age 65  of  Page Street, BURIED  25 April 1949, date of death not shown.  Burial Record Ref:  L280   Grave:  SEF 38
In same grave
Evan Jones died age 69 of Mill Cottage, Achddu, Millport, Buried 3 April 1950, date of death again not shown.

Had Catherine & Evan not been in same grave would never have found them, living different addresses & Evan Jones is a very popular name in the records, even during the 1947-54 timespan given.
