Hi Merg,

Welcome to Rootschat.   I have asked the Moderators to move this to the Main Board, where it will be seen.  Unfortunately, you have posted this on the Completed Request Board.

Hi,

He isn’t listed as being interred at Karoo Cemetery so I suspect he might also be in Bolton. Much of that cemetery was excavated for the motorway but there is a register of those who were moved.

It was too late to do a search last night when I came across this, but I did wonder if he could be in a Churchyard.

There is a small early cemetery called the Mount Street Cemetery in Wellington.  Just going out so no time to search for it so I am not sure where the burials there are listed.

Hi Merg

The Mount Street Cemetery is the old Catholic Cemetery for Wellington.   Can't see a record of his burial there.

Here's a link for Bolton Street Cemetery ... which gives information about the cemetery's history ... the moving of the cemetery, disinterments etc. ...  and also (at bottom of page), a list of burials.
Again, can't see his name there, but the information may be of interest to you if you have other relatives buried there.

Hi again

*   Do you have a copy of his death record (NZ BDM printout copy of his death record ) ?
It should at least state the name of the minister of religion who officiated at his burial service.

Assuming your man was of the Anglican (Church of England) faith, then it's possible there may be a record amongst those of the Anglican church in Wellington.

Hi Merg

Can I ask please, where did the info > date and place > for this death come from ?

There doesn't seem to be a record of it showing on the NZ BDM (online) site, under "BARRATT" Or "BARRETT" 

*   Where in Wellington (area) did your man live  ??

Hi Merg

On looking further for you, it was only when I saw that William BARRATT's "widow" Mary Ann, had married one William Stovel FOOTE (FOOT) in 1861 that I recalled we'd had previous BARRATT searches on here. 

I'll post this link for your interest (because it shows, at the time of searching, that nothing had been found in respect of the death of this William BARRATT).
Please note ... the enquiry was for William BARRETT ... but has to do with eliminating "BARRETT" from a search for "William BARRATT"

 I think there may also be other previous searches for BARRATT - will check for those now.
