I'm researching several people in my mothers family tree, my maternal great grandfather and mother Anderson nee Dobson , and my great great grandmothers family Taaffe.

I am particularly interested in finding graves, as the death locations I have do not yield a matching burial plot in relevant cemeteries

In the UK I am interested in finding information on my maternal grandfathers father James Priestley who appears to have died around 1901.

I am looking for Mary Elizabeth Anderson nee Dobson and John William Anderson .. they wont be together as they separated, Mary may be in Ashburton or nearby as my mother grew up there and had some relationship with her. John was from the Wanganui districts his mothers name is Catherine Hastie.

Hi ngaireedith, I have a bit more information now, John William Anderson was a butcher in Te Kuiti when he married my great grandmother Mary Dobson.
I believe he may be buried in the district, his father was a vet and passed away aged under 50.
