Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,667 Send Message	From one of your previous threads "Hi to all that has helped with searching for Alice Brown, I have found Alice's birth name is Eveline Jean Elizabeth Brown born Waitaki Canterbury New Zealand 19/4/1866 I also found her death from the Cemetery where her son is buried under the name Evelyn Burgess died 11/7/1978 now to find her parents in New Zealand,they say it is quiet hard to get information. Thank you once again." I'd like to question the Birth and death years? Did she really live to be 112 years old? Also you actually give a birth date, but are saying on this thread c 1865 Which if any are correct to enable us to look for records more accurately?

	Sorry for the confusion with Eveline's death, put in the wrong date for her death as I have 2 Eveline Jeans in the same family. I have still not found where Eveline Jean Elizabeth Burgess ( Alice ) is buried or her death date. Regards Suzanne
