Raithby Methodist Cemetery, Chapel Road, Loburn, Canterbury, New Zealand
There used to be a church here but it was moved to Journey's End in the 1960s.
Many thanks to the young man at the heavy machinery fix-it place on Chapel Rd, who gave me very clear directions. I had driven past it twice. Nice Dreads by the way. It lies between Pitville and Stoneyflat Roads, on the right hand side travelling West.
I went in looking for Philpotts and Barkers and was not disppointed.

Augustus Leonard Philpott married Annie Agnes Dutton in 1912. She died in 1913, maybe in childbirth, as they lost a stillborn baby the same year.

It would appear this is Henry's second marriage as Isabella Robertson Duncan married 1905/2689 to Henry "Brown" Barker.
