Hello All I have added more to the Waimairi Cemetery list, now have about 1800 photos on there plus have made a separate file for the all the gravestones of the Religious Orders. Still a lot more to do in this Cemetery. hope you find some useful info here Beverley Evans Christchurch NZ http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/Gravestone.Photos/Waimairi.Cemetery.Religous.inscriptions.html http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/Gravestone.Photos/Waimari.Cemetery.gravestone.inscriptions.html -- http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/ 15yrs of newspaper transcriptions --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hello Beverley, Thank you for tackling such a large cemetery. Please give us an idea how many hours you spent photographing the graves? How many hours placing the data online? Probably double the time putting the data online. How many headstones? How many headstones not in good repair? approx. %? Any hand made headstones? I was able to correct a couple of spelling mistakes with Waimairi vs Waimari. There is one I couldn't find George Stanley Straughon GOODALL, Gladys Goodall husband. I see you have Jessie Mackay there. quotation on her headstone is taken from the first and last lines of this poem. A SHEEP MAN'S PRAYER Lord of the sheep in the upland ways, The snow locked plains and rocks And the mazy, dazzling drift that kills, Have mercy on thy flocks Lord of the men that fear and seek, Thyself went seeking too, For frozen hearts in a drift of sin Fight thou our battle through! Lord, hear the saddest wind on earth, The one that moans and mocks The mid-most mirk of the shepherd's night Have mercy on thy flocks. by Jessie Mackay THANK YOU for placing the list out online Olwyn.

I agree that Beverley is doing a wonderful job with all the cemeteries she has been photographing. I know from my experience of doing all the Dunedin cemeteries that the easiest and quickest part is the actual taking of the photo. It is the downloading, cropping and naming the photo that takes the time but the end results are very rewarding. I also had the advantage of having a copy of the DCC database in Block and Plot order which I don't think Beverley will have from CCC. Hopefully some other list member may volunteer to help Beverley with Waimairi as it is a very large cemetery. Keep up the wonderful work Beverley.
