STEEP HILL STATION- Merton, Otago.
« on: Saturday 29 December 18 05:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone with access to the Electoral Rolls may be able to put the full name to the man mentioned in this 'Papers Past' 1950 advertisement.

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/ODT19500609.2.167.5?query=steep%20hill&phrase=2&start_date=01-01-1940&end_date=31-12-1950&snippet=true&title=LCM,LCP,LWM,ME,MIC,MTBM,NOT,OAM,ODT,OSWCC,OW,ST,TT,SOCR,WSTAR,AHCOG,BH,CL,CROMARG,DUNST,ESD&type=ADVERTISEMENT

[Steep Hill Station was/is situated approximately 17 miles* north of Dunedin.]

I do not wish to show his name openly on the forum as perhaps there is an outside chance that he still alive.

If found on the electoral rolls could you please send the details by PM. His wife should be shown at the same address; I do not know her name.

Thanks to Mckha489, the question has been answered.

A photograph of the headstone is on the Dunedin cemeteries website. This also provides the name of his wife together with those of their children.
