    Hello Di

    I'm searching on behalf of my friend for the same people. My friend's nephew is daughter Elizabeth's son born in Plymouth in 1956 who later moved on and remarried. Would love to trade info and to find out where you fit in too!

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Dear Reverend. Can you please let me know or can anyone let me know which Church looks after the Wellington Cemetery which has World War 1 graves .

    Dear All, I have since found that St. Joseph's Church (RC) and St. George's (CSI) look after the cemetery jointly. This is because it is a garrison cemetery.

    Hello Ian

    thankyou for getting back to me.

    I am the daughter of Elizabeth, and the half sister of her son Stephen, I am unsure if Stephen has any idea of my existence so this might be a bit of a shock! I was born in Plymouth in 1960 and adopted, my birth name was Susan Evans.

    I am hoping to find out some more information about Elizabeth, and Stephen if this is okay with him.

    Any information you might have would be greatfully received and I am very happy to share what info I have. I went to New Zealand in November 2009 and met Elizabeths 1st cousin Roger, who was the son of Leon Couchman, Cyrils brother, so have some info re the New Zealand side of the Couchman family.

    I look forward to hearing from you

    best wishes

  • |2010-08-31 03:50:41 Helen Bain  - William Lee Kirby (Kerby)
    I saw a listing of the name William Lee Kerby in the list of European Tombs in Ooty up to 1904. William was a tea planter somewhere in Coonoor and two of his children were baptised in All Saints Church Coonorr in 1879 & 1883.
    I was hoping someone might be able to help me with information regarding his headstone and any legible inscription on it. I don't know when he died - early 1900's possibly.
