Unfortunately for family history, NZ census records are not researchable as not archived ... addresses are searched on Electoral rolls and in various directories, eg White Pages.

As only an occasional visitor to Wellington, I don't have much local knowledge but the biggest cemetery there is Karori. The link given for FD may be worth persuing...

Thankyou for help.Wondered if theres any newspaper archives in that area just found out from family stories that Joe died before his mother she died in 1926 scotland.

This is the Papers Past link ... http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast mostly older clippings though, before your family came to NZ 1950, more recent newspapers are available at libraries to look through on microfiche ... for anyone to offer to look on your behalf, the request would have to be fairly specific ...

By information on that Yorkshire thread giving Joseph's birthdate as 24 July 1921, it eliminates post #7 anyway 


and appears his death was there in York, September 1986
