Hi Diane, Having grown up in Christchurch I am aware that families did disown family members in Sunnyside. A sad situation but probably in line with attitudes back then. I am aware of two other cases where the burial place could not be located in the city records, so the only way you may find the answer is by buying the death record. regards, Calvin On 3/18/2014 11:01 AM, Diane McNair wrote: > My Gt Gt Grandfather, Charles Blackbee aged 67, died at Sunnyside Hospital 6 August 1873.
