Taita Cemetery Record Book 1892-1932

The HCC Archives holds all the record books for Taita Cemetery - listing burials from 1892. As you can see from this sample page a surprising amount of information is given: the deceased’s occupation, age and final address (although this is often just the area rather than a street address) as well as the details of the burial plot. This can be used to trace relatives or to confirm a plot location prior to visiting the cemetery.

The Petone Library holds a CD of the scanned early registers.

If you want to make an enquiry about a burial at Taita Cemetery we suggest you start by consulting the Index held at the Heritage Centre, Petone Library. They'll refer you on to Archives if we can assist further.
