Anyone have "Gwendolene Mabel Stevens" in their tree?
« on: Wednesday 01 January 14 18:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

The Gisborne Herald ran an article when the grave of a 3 year old girl who died in 1912 of pneumonia when her family were living at Hauturu Station, Mata Lane, Tokomaru Bay.  Her father was Robert James Stevens and her mother was 'Hazel'.

Forrestry workers found the grave and wondered if there was any family left.

Hope you are all well and that 2014 knocks over some brick walls

Hello,

If the child was aged three years at her death in 1912, would she not have been born prior to the registration year of 1911................?

Perhaps the child in question was not Gwendoline?

Hazel Ruby and Robert James STEVENS are buried at Taruheru Cemetery, Gisborne.

http://www.gdc.govt.nz/

Also at same cemetery is their daughter >

Jean Bithia COOPER - died 7 July 1994 - aged 81

The COOPER headstone transcription gives details of a son (deceased - aged 5 years) and the husband who also died in 1994.

Gisborne District Council website suggests that the sextons at Taruheru Cemetery may be able to assist with further details re: burials.
