Look-up for JAMES LINTON KAY *COMPLETED*

[arwen20]

Im looking for someone to do a look-up for a James Linton Kay ,died in Dunedin,New Zealand.
James died 30th January 1997,he is buried in Anderson Bay Cemetery,age 80yrs.
Im trying to see if he is the same James Linton Kay from my family.The only way i can find this out is if i can get someone to look up a death certificate in New Zealand.
Im in Scotland and my James was born here and  i was told he immigrated to New Zealand.I managed to find out the James that is in Anderson Bay Cemetery has lived in NZ for at least 50 yrs and 30 of them was spent with the woman who he was buried with a Evelyn Christina Engstrom. The only way to confirm if he is my relative is through the death certificate.My James was born April 1916 in Lumphinnans,Fife,Scotland

with thanks

Hi Arwen,
You would have to order the death printout to get the info you need,we are unable to view records here in NZ.
You can order and pay for it online

Cheers Janette

PS a printout is cheaper and usually has more info on it

Hi Janette,

Hi Janette,

Thanks ,i was given the cemetery information that you posted from a roots member and it was this that helped me along the way to finding my dad's Uncle James.I dont suppose you know of anyone that could take some picture's of the cemetery plot for me?

Hi Arwen,

Dunedin is one city that seems to be short of RCtrs,if you start a new thread with a request someone may be able to point you in the right direction,

Hi Janette and Althea,


I emailed the cemetery in Anderson Bay and they mailed back saying they will take the pictures for me and send them via email.So kind of them to do this for me.

Thanks for all your help and advice.
