NOTE concerning the difficulty in doing a list of names for Bolton Street .. the following was taken from correspondence from Nick Perrin, of Friends of Bolton Street Memorial Park (FOBSMP), in Nov 2009:
... there is not a list that I can give away to anyone, really. We had to do a lot of work to identify which graves were moved, and a lot were unknown because of missing and faulty records. In the end I found there were exactly 3700 human remains (including some ashes) removed for the motorway. I determined this from the sexton's daily diary of disinterrments, in which he recorded the plot being excavated (if known), the number of human remains removed from it and where those remains went. The options were - transfer to the mass grave (nearly all of them), reinterment at Karori (a few), cremation at Karori (3 or 4 only) and reinterment at Makara (also only 3 or 4). He did not record names, so I entered his daily diary information into a database and added the names recorded as being in those plots. Resorting the database gave me a record of the plots excavated, the numbers of bodies, the sequence of excavation (from the dates in the diary). By plotting all the recorded plot numbers from the diary onto a map, I could see which other plots must have been excavated, but were not identified at the time because they did not really know quite exactly where they were after the headstones etc had been removed, and the fact that it is not unusual for grave structures to be built in slightly the wrong place anyway.
About one third had nothing visible on the ground, even if we could identify the original location. The official count for which the contractors were paid was 3697, but on using automatic counting in the database, I found they had miscalculated with their mechanical adding machine at the time, and robbed themselves of payment for 3 exhumations, but never mind that. There were also reputedly over 1000 unidentified remains excavated, but going by the area excavated, I have reduced that number to only a few hundred. Not that any individual name could necessarily be applied to an individual body dug up, but we could establish with confidence a list of names of those who had been dug up on the basis that the plot they were recorded at was excavated, you understand.
About a quarter of all recorded burials have no known location, and that does not count the unrecorded burials, of which there could be a few hundred. Record keeping was really bad before about 1875, especially in the Church of England section. The acting sexton, Mr P. J. E. Shotter took photos of every grave he thought was going to be removed for the motorway in the late 1960s. He missed a number, and also photographed some that were not actually removed in the end. All the photos he took are on the Alexander Turnbull Library web site "Timeframes" (but this is best accessed through matapihi). His list was based on early maps and other records, but without computer database facilities, he could not do the level of checking and cross-correlation that we have done since. Bolton Street has huge gaps and many plot locations lost even though a name and date has been recorded. In some of the early years they were obviously not keeping proper records, and at once stage they discovered the man they employed as sexton could not read or write, so consequently his records leave a little to be desired, to say the least! ...

These then, are the known people buried there to June 2013
- they will be edited and added to when necessary
please note this was primarily undertaken just to provide the known names of those buried here, however bios will be added as time permits. You are welcome to submit any for inclusion

NZ Mail, 30 Dec 1887 FATAL ACCIDENT. A serious accident occurred about 5 o'clock on Monday evening to Mr George Adams, a member of the Hansard staff. Mr Adams is the owner of some property at the back of the Wellington Club and he obtained a permit to burn some gorse on it on Monday. Finding that the fire had obtained too great a hold he hastened to put it out and was in the act of getting through a fence at the top of a very high bank to obtain a hose for that purpose, when the fence gave way and he fell a distance of about fifty feet. The accident was observed from the windows of the Club and he was taken inside, where Dr Collins promptly attended to his injuries, he having been set for at once. The fall was a very serious one and resulted in concussion of the spine and internal injuries to which Mr Adams succumbed on Wednesday morning. Mr Adams was a remarkable instance of the effect of patience and perseverance. Mr Adams was a native of Devonshire, England. After leaving school he passed a couple of years at sea and afterwards entered a London newspaper office. Landing in Auckland some twelve or thirteen years ago (being then under 20 years of age) and was employed as reader on the New Zealand Herald, Auckland. In 1878 he was engaged in a similar capacity on the staff of the New Zealander, a Wellington journal not now in existence. He obtained employment on the staff of the Southern Cross and subsequently occupied positions on the literary staffs of the New Zealander. Having become an expert shorthand writer was a few years after appointed permanent parliamentary Committee reporter. He was appointed to the Hansard staff three years ago and had been assiduously studying for the law for some time precious to his death. About five years ago the deceased gentleman arrived in Gisborne to take the editorial management of the Herald, which position he filled during the Parliamentary recess up to the time of his accident, which deprived the press of the colony of an able and vigours writer. Mr Adams has only one relative in the Colony, a brother residing in the Wairarapa. His mother, to whose support he contributed, resides in London.

Evening Post, 21 Aug 1888 PALMERSTON NORTH - Adams, who died in the Wellington Hospital, leaves a wife in feeble health and a family here, four of the children being born within the last 15 months.
* 23 Aug 1888 Palmerston North - I hear that it is proposed to open a subscription here for the widow and children of the man Adams, whose sudden death in the Wellington Hospital was recorded in you paper a day or two ago. It seems to be a very sad case altogether. There are eight children, the oldest being 16 or so and the only one able to work and the youngest an infant only three days before its father's death. The unfortunate woman gave birth to twins but one of them , happily - one cannot help feeling - was stillborn. The husband had been out of work entirely for months before his death, owing to an affection of the eye. which quite incapacitated him and though the wife, a hardworking, industrious woman, has done her best, they had been reduced to very great distress. Now they have absolutely nothing and the woman will not, of course, be able to do anything for some time yet.

Jessie was a committed feminist, socialist, political activist, labor activist, social worker and peace worker, one of a new generation of women who held public office. The following extracts are taken from her longer bio here .. Jessie was born at Ecclesmachan, Linlithgow, Scotland, on 14 April 1867. With her parents and three younger sisters, she emigrated to NZ on the Canterbury, arriving at Lyttelton 2 Sep 1874. A decade later the family had settled in Denniston, Westland, where her father worked as a miner. When she was 17 she married John Barr Aitken on 25 July 1884 at Buller. They had 7 daughters & 4 sons and lived at Burnett's Face, near Denniston until 1902. After the death of her husband in Nelson in 1907 (John was addicted to drink. He was found face down, both hands in his pockets, drowned in a ditch at Puponga 9 Nov 1907. The Inquest showed he died of asphyzia, the mud, water and gravel having got into the air passages. He & Jessie were separated at the time), Jessie Aitken moved to Wellington where she initially lived with her son Hugh. Here she became an active member of many women's organisations .. she joined the Wellington Housewives' Union, the Wellington branch of SDP, during WWI was a member of the Women's Anti-Conscription League, she believed participation in warfare was 'a matter of individual conscience'.

She was President of the Wellington branch of the Women's International League, elected to the Wellington Hospital and Charitable Aid Board as a Labour candidate in April 1917. In 1918 she returned to her most strenuous period of board membership during and after the November influenza epidemic. She was an active member of the board's social welfare committee, established in February 1919 to assist widows, widowers and orphans of the epidemic. She attended two NZ Labour Party conferences: as a delegate for the Women's International League and for the Wellington Labour Representation Committee. On the latter occasion, she supported increased state allowances for widows and an unsuccessful remit for the formal representation of women delegates at party conferences. In a campaign speech at a meeting of the Wellington branch of the National Council of Women of New Zealand, she pledged to help improve housing conditions and sanitation, and provide rest rooms for women and recreational facilities for children. It was the first time women had stood for election to the Wellington City Council.

• ALDERSLADE, Henry James Jackson 9 Aug 1883 aged 43
Evening Post, 23 Jan 1907 TWO MEN BLOWN OUT TO SEA. There appears to be little doubt as to the fate of the two men, John Daly and Henry J. Alderslade, who were reported yesterday as having been blown out to sea in a boat at Island Bay. It seems that the men went to Happy Valley to bring the boat, a mere cockleshell, into a more sheltered position at Island Bay and a man who happened to be looking to seaward saw the end of the adventure. Before they reached the vicinity of the Bay, the heavy north-westerly wind took possession of their frail craft, they were unable to make the land and in a few minutes the boat disappeared in the heavy sea that was running. When the Harbourmaster (Captain Johnson) received word of the accident, about noon, arrangements were made for the ferry steamer Duchess to proceed to the spot to see if there was any possibility of a rescue. She first took her load of passengers to Day's Bay and got through the Heads shortly after 1p.m. Very heavy weather was experienced, but in spite of that a systematic search was made, the vessel running about fourteen miles out to sea. No sign of the missing men or boat was found and the Duchess returned to port about 4.30p.m. Daly was 21 years of age and resided with his parents at Cardall-street Newtown. Alderslade was married and lived with his wife and three children in a small whare at Island Bay. He had been out of work for some weeks and obtained the boat for the purpose of getting a living by fishing.

Sydney Evening News, 15 March 1909. Charge Of Desertion. In the Divorce Court this morning, before Mr Justice Pring, Eleanor Jessie Allpress, formerly Ward, petitioned for a divorce from George Rivers Allpress, the well-known musician, on the grounds of desertion. The petitioner, who was represented by Mr P. K. White, deposed to having married the respondent in Auckland in November 1881. He was then the first violin in an opera company. They returned to Melbourne in 1883, where her husband said he would become a residential teacher (on his arrival George accepted an offer to become leader of the orchestra for the Montagu-Turner Opera Company, then playing in the Gaity Theatre, Sydney. He travelled with the company through the country towns of NSW as conductor and on the termination of this engagement is when he became first violin in the Bijou Theatre, Melbourne for 3 months when he again joined the Montagu-Turner Company. On leaving this company they returned to Sydney with intentions of settling. He was associated with Her Vogrich in his concerts in the Old Masonic Hall as viola player in chamber music and then he accepted an engagement as leader and conductor in the Opera House). They lived in Forbes-street and Dowling-street. Seventeen years ago he left her, but they came together again. Subsequently a deed of separation was drawn up, but six years ago a friend intervened and they lived together at her house in Manly. The lived together for three days. On the morning of the third day he went to town and never came back. She afterwards saw him at Jersey Chambers, where he was teaching and asked him why he hadn't come home. He replied that he couldn't speak to her then, as he was giving a lesson. He shut the door, saying he would see her by and bye. She saw him several times after that, when he said he would come home, but he didn't. Some months after she took proceedings against him for maintenance and got an order. About two years ago she heard something and made inquiries concerning him, but had not seen him since. A decree nisi was granted, to be moved absolute in three months.

* NOTE of interest. In Dunedin Supreme Court on 3 Aug 1914 - On 17th July Sarah Jane Ammon (nee Holt, formerly McQuennie, had a store on Dominion Road, Auckland and fled to Hobart to escape bankruptcy in 1912), claiming to be the widow of Samuel Alfred Ammon (who lived with Sarah, returned to NZ in 1913), applied to the Supreme Court for an order absolute, giving her administration of the deceased's estate. Catherine Ammon, of Taihape, at that stage also claimed to be Ammon's widow. The matter was then adjourned till to-day. When the case was called, it suddenly collapsed. Counsel for Catherine Ammon put in an affidavit giving circumstantial witness as to her marriage with Ammon, whereupon counsel for Sarah Jane intimated he had received word from Auckland which satisfied him that Catherine Ammon was Samuel Ammon's wife. Consequently Sarah Jane Ammon had no claim on the estate and he withdrew. Mr Justice Sim made an order discharging a rule nisi against Sarah Jane Ammon.

The deceased was only 21 years of age and up to the time of his last illness he was in the employ of Messrs Nelson, Moate & Co. As a member of the Wellington Amateur Athletic Club, he made his mark as a long-distance runner and amongst other performances he lowered the club's standard for the mile and three mile distances. There is some reason to fear that his exertions in this direction had a weakening effect upon his constitution and that to this cause his early demise may to an extent, be attributed.

* 1864 Jane Ashbridge v William Ashbridge, Assault. William, the plaintiff, went home and found his wife there. He was going to take some money, when the defendant got hold of him by the hair and held him for several minutes, hauling him about. She pushed him backwards over a chest. She then use course expression and said "I have some money yet and I'll go our and spent it" She then went out and afterwards came home drunk. William said that she took money at other times and that she stayed out all day and came home and abused him. She was fined 10s and bound over to keep the peace for 6 months.
* 1865 Elizabeth Rainers summoned Jane Ashbridge, a middle-aged woman, for using threatening and obscene language. She was bound over to keep the peace.
* 1866 Jane Ashbridge for drunkenness was sent to prison for 48 hours with hard labor.
* 1871 Jane Ashbridge, charged with Drunkennes was fined 5s or 24 hours imprisonment.
* 1872 Jane Ashbridge, a very old offender, was charged with having been drunk, unable to take care of herself last night and verging upon a fit of the horrors. Her husband, who appeared in Court, said he wished to make a statement regarding the conduct of his wife. He said that notwithstanding his utmost efforts to keep his home together somewhat respectably he had found the task utterly impossible, owing to the reckless and abusive conduct of his wife. He very much regretted to have to appear as he had done, but he did not wish to see his family disgraced and latterly his wife had become an intolerable nuisance. The last time she was sent to gaol he had released her on bail, but his kindness was repaid by an immediate relapse into her old courses. Sergeant Monaghan also gave the prisoner a very bad character and asked that she might be remanded for a weeks so as to enable her to get thoroughly sober, as he believed she had been on the verge of delirium tremens. Remanded for eight days.
* 1873 Jane Ashbridge, a woeful wife, who appears to be in a chronic state of drunkenness and is a very virago in temper was sent to gaol for three months.
* 1873 Jane Ashbridge appeared on remand charged with having committed an assault with intent to wound her husband. William Ashbridge, the husband of the prisoner, said that the prison, who was drunk, attempted to strike him with a knife. For a number of years past she had been given to drink, to obtain which she would sell everything in the house. She was bound over to keep the peace for six months in the sum of £20
Evening Post, 27 Nov 1873 We can recommend to the charitably disposed a most deserving object of assistance in the person of Messrs Jackson and Graham's night watchman on the Queen's Wharf, William Ashbridge, generally known as "Boatswain" who injured himself so seriously in rescuing a drowning man a few days ago that he is unable to work for the present and is consequently in necessitous circumstances. "Boatswain" has saved from drowning some 15 or 16 persons, yet has, we understand, never received the slightest substantial acknowledgement of his exertions. This present misfortune, incurred in so noble a cause, affords a good opportunity for some such recognition to be made.
* 1874 Jane Ashbridge was fined 20s for being drunk and incapable.
* 1875 Jane Ashbridge, a very old and regular offender, was charged with vagrancy and also with breaking windows in a fit of drunken bravado. She was committed to gaol for three calendar months with hard labor.
* 1875 It appears that Mrs Ashbridge is of a volatile character, being extremely lively and when in a playful humor, accelerated by any number of modest quenchers, has a habit of amusing herself by breaking up all the crockery and smashing the furniture and anything breakable within the the line of sight. A knowledge of his wife's idiosyncrasy had induced Mr Ashbridge to keep his door locked - a very wise precaution, of which the Resident Magistrate expressed his approval and so the fair creature departed sorrowful, but resigned to a fate which deprived her of the womanly privilege of making her husband's life a misery.
* 1875 Jane Ashbridge, a very old offender, was charged, on the information of her liege lord, with having used threatening language towards him on Friday evening, to wit: "I'll do for you, it is is twelve months to come." She also purloined a boiler from the premises. William Ashbridge, a respectable middle-aged man, proved the charge and said that he was continually annoyed by prisoners conduct. The prisoner denied, in strong terms, the allegations of her husband. His Worship order the prisoner to find on surety of £10 and herself in another of £10, to keep the peace for one month, or in default to be imprisoned for that period.
* 1876 Jane Ashbridge was charged with unlawfully assaulting Jane Ashbridge her daughter, several times with a handbroom. Defendant was a nuisance to the neighbours. The prisoner's husband gave her a very bad character, saying that she was a confirmed drunkard. He further stated that she was in the habit of taking his property out of the house. She was sent to gaol for two months with hard labor.
* 1876 Jane Ashbridge, an antiquated dame (age 53) pleaded not guilty to a charge of having been drunk and incapable and with being a vagrant. She was found lying against a fence last night and her husband gave her a very bad character. He said that he could do nothing with her and she was a nuisance to the neighbors. His Worship said the woman was evidently incorrigible and sent her to gaol for a month.
* 1876 Jane Ashbridge, who had been frequently before the Court, was sent to gaol for three months for habitual drunkenness.
* 1877 Jane Ashbridge, somewhat groggy looking, was charged with drunkenness and vagrancy. Sergeant Price gave her a very bad character. She was sent to gaol for 3 months with hard labor.
* 1877 Jame Ashbridge was charged with having done malicious injury to property. Her husband, William Ashbridge, said she had broken the window of his house, the handles of the doors and a number of articles inside. She had been six weeks at home and he had at different times given her money with which to purchase clothing but she had got rid of it otherwise. He was willing to allow her 14s a week. His Worship warned her that she must cease to annoy her husband and find her own living, with the allowance which he promised her. She said she had nowhere to go and nothing to begin with, but her husband said he would give her a week's money to start with and having again been cautioned, she was discharge.
Jane died 23 Nov 1882 aged 58

13 Aug 1906 An interesting old seafaring pioneer in the person of Mr William Ashbridge, died at his residence, Wellington, on Friday morning, at the age of 82 years. The deceased old mariner was a well-known identity of Wellington, to which city he came in the Oliver lang in the year 1858. For many years "Old Bosun" as he was termed by old-timers, was employed in the service of the Harbour Board under the Harbourmaster (Captain Halliday) in the capacity of one of the crew of the boat that, in those days, tended to help berth the sailing vessels by taking lines etc, ashore. In his youth he sailed in vessels from Liverpool to New York and in craft from Prince Edward island, up the Gulf of St Lawrence. He was the possessor of two medals presented to him and one each to his comrades who volunteered to rescue the crew of a water-logged ship in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. The name of the steamer on which he was the bosun's mate, was the Pacific. The whole of the crew were rescued by the volunteer boats' crew of the Pacific and the medals for their bravery were presented by the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. The deceased was a sailor on the Great Britain and Donald McKay - vessels now only remembered by old sailors in the colonies. Deceased leaves three daughters - Mrs Woodward (Susannah), Mrs Furness (Elizabeth Martha) and Mrs Hearn (Wife of Mr William Hearn, ex champion sculler of New Zealand)
