Endeavouring to locate family connections and details of a few people buried in the St Agnes Churchyard at Kiwitea near Feilding. The burial registers are very sparse on information, in some cases having only a surname, no first names or a date even. Hoping some others can help with identifying them. Some of them are likely to be children, as a couple of others that had not a lot about them turned out to be just that. The families would have been in the Kiwitea area anywhere from 1890 to perhaps late 1920s, and then moved away. Have also been through Paperspast, which did help to solve a couple of the unknowns, but not these ones. The first burial at the Churchyard was in 1890. The names are ARMSTRONG - surname only no date Miss ADAMS W LACEY Mrs Jane GREEN 1923 GW STILL infant 1930 Another family that we do not know too much about is a Reginald and Emily HILL, who had a son Reginald born and died in 1898. Can't find anything further about them. Also an Alfred PAINE who married a Margaret HOPE in 1894. They had a son Jabez Alfred who was born and died in 1895. The mother Margaret died at the same time. What happened to Alfred the father, and where did he come from. Thanks Ian C

Hello Ian. In 1900 Reginald Montgomery HILL and Emily HILL appear to be living at Cheltenham where Reginald is listed as a farmer. Cheltenham seems to be north of Feilding. There is an online family tree which says that Reginald Montgomery HILL was born in India to parents James Turner HILL and Agnes Jane PENNELL. He married Emily LEWIS and it appears they may have gone to England as Emily is said to have died in Devon in 1938. In 1911 the family is living in Colaton Raleigh, Devon with Reginald's sister Lilian and two children aged 8 and 6 both born in Devon, so they must have returned to England very early in the century. I have no connection to this family. Hope this helps a little.
