Grave under 1980 Church No headstone in 1980, but a previous recording of headstone read: Thomas Aickin, d Oct 1899; Arthur Aickin (no date); and C. ? Margaret Aickin, d. 20 Feb 1891 aged 6 years. (I suspect that this headstone was very difficult to read (at the time of the recording) and was more likely to have read thus: Thomas Aickin, d. Oct 1899; Arthur Aickin, son of George Gordon and Margaret Aickin; d. 24 Feb 1891. However, I have had no luck in determining where Thomas fits in the picture. BDM Records: George Gordon and Margaret had a son Thomas Reginald Aickin, born 2 June 1886, but he died in 1948, aged 62)

th

child of William and Hannah Bray of Onehunga. Arthur was, in 1894, in his twenties, living in Australia; and had indicated to his Onehunga family that he would visit Auckland in the near future. The Onehunga Bray family began to prepare for the funeral of Arthur at St Peter’s Church, Onehunga. A telegram then arrived from Arthur saying that he was still in Australia and was well (see the newspapers of 3 Nov 1894.) Asher Bray (no relative) was buried in St Peter’s Cemetery on 13 Nov. The actual plot is not known, but church records of the cemetery plots, drawn up in 1898, indicate that two Brays were buried in Plot 172; it is possible that the Onehunga Brays welcomed the body of Asher Bray into the care of their family plot which already held the body of their son Percy Daniel Bray. (This information comes from a number of sources including church records, the New Zealand Herald, the Auckland Star, and family researcher Alan Bray.)
