The death certificate for Florence might determine for certain where she was buried, as I mentioned above. The plots must be part of "Area 2" at £1 10s each, according to the draft Waikumete Cemetery bylaws, 10 April 1886, if the Bell family purchased four -- why, though, is Plot 1 listed as "vacant" in the Waikumete books Timespannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-6925069009738939742011-02-26T14:12:01.672+13:002011-02-26T14:12:01.672+13:00On March 18,1886, Edmund Bell purchased four plots...On March 18,1886, Edmund Bell purchased four plots at the cost of 6 pounds.

This is really well written, you certainly done the research and it's now placed the answer right there with solid evidence. Wish I could be there with you to put some flowers of the little fella's grave. Died far too young. Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.com
