Hi, Is anyone able to find who the parents of the above 3-year-old were?
Patricia passed on 4th Apr 1926 in Whangarei.
Many thanks.

Details of a Burial in Maunu Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Whangarei
Surname: HARGRAVES
Forenames: PATRICIA
Age: Not recorded
Gender: Female
Date of Death: Not recorded
Funeral Director:
Cemetery: Maunu Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Whangarei
Plot Location: Old Portion Block Five Plot 432
Date of Burial: 6 Apr 1926
Body / Ashes Body

No other Hargraves buried in Maunu Cemetery, and while there are four "Hargreaves" burials in Maunu, none are in or near the same burial plot as Patricia.

Checked the 1925 and 1928 electoral rolls but there are no Hargraves' listed in the Marsden General Roll (which covers Whangarei). Is it possible that Patricia's surname was recorded with incorrect spelling? In 1925 and 1928 there's a couple named George and Ethel Clara Hargreaves farming in Maungatapere.

Ah, the parents might indeed be George and Ethel - here's a notice in the Northern Advocate where the couple acknowledge their "recent sad bereavement" https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NA19260421.2.25

Thanks
Yes, I know there was some family out that way too, so is probably likely.
Thanks for that.

The birth is likely to be on the microfiche version of the BDM which is available in big libraries and often at branches of the NZSG. This is the best way to confirm it.
