David Milton PARKER 1864-1896

[Eyesee]

David Milton PARKER died in Kimbolton in New Zealand on 5 Oct 1896 aged 32 years. His burial plot was purchased by Mrs E A PARKER. The birth of a child to this couple was registered in the NZ BDMS in 1896, but their name was not recorded, mother's name though was given as Alice.

A newspaper subscription was held to raise money to enable Mrs Parker and her three young children to return to Queensland.

Has anyone come across this family?

Thanks
