Hi Diane Sunnyside Hospital was "in the countryside" back then.........Annex Road/Lincoln Road boundaries. Lincoln Road almost up to the junction of Halswell Road if you look on a map. Hillmorton Hospital has replaced Sunnyside Hospital which was demolished some years ago. Addington Cemetery would have been the nearest cemetery, or perhaps Sydenham or Bromley (they were the earlier cemeteries of Christchurch). I tend to agree with Paul on his findings of Blackber at Addington Cemetery. Hope this helps Sandra -----Original Message----- From: new-zealand-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:new-zealand-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Diane McNair Sent: Tuesday, 18 March 2014 9:01 a.m. To: NEW-ZEALAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [nz] Sunnyside Hospital My Gt Gt Grandfather, Charles Blackbee aged 67, died at Sunnyside Hospital 6 August 1873.
