Help to find Christina Ann Sutherland

[Lucy2]

Hi Sandstone

A little further information, which also serves to confirm we have the correct Christina.   

A travel record (@ ancestry.com) for passengers returning from UK to New Zealand, has the following info >

"Rangitoto" (NZ Shipping Line) - bound for Wellington, New Zealand - departed UK 12 April 1957,

Ticket # 1942 :
EAGLESON - David - retired - (dob.  = 25-08-1873)
EAGLESON - Mrs Christina (dob.  = 2-12-1889)
  ... both NZ Citizens ( travelling on NZ passports)
... their last address given was : c/- Mrs M G ARTHUR, 58 Braewick Road, Lerwick

     ~  Lu

added :   Another less detailed list (ex NZ Immigration - found at FamilySearch site), confirms Mrs Christina EAGLESON's birthplace was Scotland.

At the "findagrave" website, there is a record for Christina Ann Eagleson (submitted by a volunteer "researcher") which gives her burial place as "Pye's Pa Memorial Park", Tauranga.??

At Pye's Pa.

Edited:  Don't know about the picture of grave, I think it says 2nd May 1984, the age is right, but known as Annie on grave??

Thanks for that, KHP.   

David EAGLESON, with first wife Margaret (aka Maggie) and daughter Elizabeh Jane, also come up on that same search page.

[I'd taken the "Tuapiro Cemetery" from the NZSG transcriptions ... but maybe this cemetery is better known as "Pye's Pa"  ]

PS:  KHP ... yes, seems Christina was also known as "Annie"     "Standstone" made mention of ("Annie")  in original post.

Hi Sandstone

 If you have access ...there's a smallish number of trees at the ancestry.com site - for David EAGLESON (d. NZ 1963) ... one of which ("granny ..." ) mentions  "a wife - named as Christine -  1910-1970 ?? ".
The owner may (or may not) have more information ??

[Caution advised with these trees - many are inaccurate / with repeated inaccuracies in others.  ]

[David EAGLESON was reportedly born in Co. Down, Northern Ireland. ]
