Hi Vanessa, "Can anyone help with a burial in Park Island Cemetery at Napier of Rigby Brooks Bellerby died 1949 ? Where do I get information from the grave stone , who would have a record ?" If you are able to locate a set of the NZSG Cemetery fiche near you, you can check that for a transcription (it appears from their online catalogue that the SOG in London holds a set, if that's any help to you). If that's not possible, someone on this list may be able to do it for you. Alternatively, you could email the Napier City Council and ask if they can help. Information about their cemeteries can be found at http://www.napier.govt.nz/index.php?cid=facilities/cemeteries/cem_general Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard **I have no personal interest in the name(s) mentioned here** *** Please reply to the list *** -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wendyh65/ <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/>
Have the following info for you. Rigby Brooks Died 4 Jan 1949, aged 56 Occupation Labourer Address: Te Awa Avenue Buried Park Island Cemetery Plot 28 Block 15 Public section. There is also an Ellen Elizabeth Bellerby died 1964 aged 74 in same cemetery. The NZSG microfiche also have his monumental inscription. If you do not have access to microfiche I can access this at our library and forward you the wording upon his tombstone. Have also found more info. He was born 25 Feb 1894 and his parent or guardian was AL Bellerby. He enrolled at Makauri School in Gisborne on 19 Sept 1905. His last day was 5 Dec 1905. More info re this is with the Gisborne NZSG branch. His next destination was listed as Home so maybe he was homeschooled after that. Address was given as Makaraka which is in Gisborne. I was born in Gisborne and went to the Te Karaka DHS. A Merrick Bellerby was in my Std 3 & 4 class in 1947. Any relation? I have a school photo with him in it. If he is a relative and you would like a copy can scan it for you or just scan his image from the photo. Hope this is of assistance.
