And for my last bit of spoon feeding - are there any obits - or photos in any newspapers??   please!!          Only 'cos you're my friends!!   

Wiggy

Most likely there will be an obit, it just has to be ferreted out.

Hi Wiggy,

I could get the probates next time I am at Auckland archives,

Cheers Janette

You are a pal,   Janette - not sure if I need them - do I?  looks as if he was insolvent!!!!!   Love the photo of him looking out the window - doesn't give too much away does it!!

Great find on the history - do you reckon that's his photo beside the history!

 - and - as I thought - it wasn't luxury when the Pye's were there by the sound of things!!!!       Ah well - he founded it anyhow!!   

So - how did you find out it was 1831 if it is closed beyond that??      But thanks for that anyhow!!

Hi Wiggy,

He wasn't insolvent that Alan Pye was declared insolvent it 1990,I noticed both their ashes were returned ,I wonder who to,maybe they were scattered at the lodge,It may be in their wills

Cheers Janette

I noticed there were a few other Pyes at the Cemetery, maybe relatives, if so, they might have done something with the ashes.


Cheers

Yes Wiggy if you run your curser over the photo it's says "Alan Pye"

Cheers Janette

     Thanks Janette   

thank goodness He wasn't insolvent - I thought maybe it had taken that long for his will to be sorted out!!!       
Of course there would be other Alan Pyes!!  Silly me.   I wonder if it is worth trying to get his birth place in Ireland - and to think he isn't even a blood rellie - why am I getting sidetracked!!   
It's his wife I'm interested in!         I only have one photo of her in 1894 - she looks like a boy!

Hi Wiggy,

It looks to be the same chap sitting at the side of the digital photo at Archives   

[Wiggy]

Yeah - actually I assumed it was!!  Just making sure!!      
If they are rellies in the cemetery that means Alan may have come out with his family - 'cos they didn't have children them selves that I know of!  Interesting!!! 

Gee you lot are efficient -

Wiggy
