Thank you very much for your reply, much appreciated.

My wife only has two living relatives in New Zealand now, the others have now passed away, so she is keen to discover her family tree, through which last year meet a second cousin in Portsmouth, who we spent a week with while in England.
This cousin and her mother had been trying to contact family in New Zealand after reading of flowers sent to a funeral years ago in England from family in New Zealand.

Regards,
Bryan & Veronica.

Hello Michael, Many thanks for your extremely prompt and informative reply.

I am the treasuer of our local Genealogy and Family history group and only found out about your web site last night at a committee meeting !

I only sat down and found your site this afternoon and sent the query, but never expected a reply so soon !

Last year was our second time that we have been in England, we hope to return, but have to save the money first. It is a long way to fly, but must have been a lot longer for those who left England by ship to emigrate to our side of the world many years ago.

My wife is a nurse and is at work this evening, so will not get this information until she gets home at 11.45pm tonight.

Many thanks for your help.

Regards,
Bryan & Veronica Tily.

Born Cinderford, Forest of Dean, 3rd October 1878
Emigrated to New Zealand.Buried at Christchurch New Zealand
Father - Frederick Langley, born 5th November 1859 at East Dean, married Dec 1876 to Rhoda Veronica Taylor (born 8th August 1856 at East Dean)
Where are Frederic and Rhoda buried ?

We found the grave of Fredericks father and mother (Edwin and Mary Langley died 7th Nov 1896)at the St Johns Church yard cemetery in Cinderford when we visited the town in September 2005 and have photo's of the grave. However we only had limited time, it was a very wet day, and church was closed, so not able at the time to do any research on site.

Does anyone have further information on this family ?
