I am looking for possible NOK of Harold Edgar Stevens and Joan Challis Stevens nee Lindop as they appear on the Whenua Tapu cemetery, Porirua City Council list of unclaimed ashes
(See "Can we find homes for these ashes" started by minniehaha)

I have found on Paperspast a birth notice for a son born in May 1940 who could still be alive.

Any assistance appreciated.

Hi Wendy,

I'm sorry to report that I could not find any entries relating to their individual - the only one of that surname was a child, with different parents.

The box of documents comprised plot purchase receipt books, undated until the latter years, and docket books, which were dated. I went through all the plot books and relevant docket books, but couldn't find them.
