Records state Samuel Trumper died (of Maramus) at sea on April 17, 1863 aged 4. His brother James Trumper died (also of Maramus) at sea on April 6, 1863 aged 1 year. So I think it's safe to say they weren't actually buried at the cemetery, but the stones were, like you suggest, memorials to remember them.Ashdogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722436921707203900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604779099741634311.post-18903951925294955562019-12-31T16:46:41.840-08:002019-12-31T16:46:41.840-08:00Thanks Bel, a wonderful resource.

I'm interested in Camp Bay because the progenitor of the Maori Daymond family was James Daymond, who with his wife Mary managed the quarantine station from 1863, possibly to 1873. Perhaps someone could direct me to records of what ships/dates were directed by port authorities to unload sick passengers? I am especially interested in the year 1872, when at some point his only child visited and died of fever in November (possibly contracted at Kaikoura however).<br /><br />Julie Daymond-KingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365828872341307075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604779099741634311.post-70607428575818975212018-05-26T22:55:41.955-07:002018-05-26T22:55:41.955-07:00Just wondering if anyone is able to give me the lo...Just wondering if anyone is able to give me the location of the Camp Bay cemetery please. We went to the end of the Camp Bay road today but nothing was obvious. Charlotte Williams from the boat Brothers Pride died 4/12/1863 and was buried ar sea in the Lyttleton Harbour. May be a memorial in the cemetery so would like to check.

I think it was first suggested at the beginning of 1863 from memory by some officials. So Captain Cook arrived about the time when it was ready for sickly ships. I'll have a look further into the Captain Cook. There were some deaths from that ship but no definite proof they are buried in the cemetery. If you have any documents on the Captain Cook that can help me, I'd love to see them.

Anne Prebensen and daughter ...Update on this: <br /><br /> Anne Prebensen and daughter Ane Marie Prebensen who died just before the Punjaub arrived in Lyttelton:<br /><br />(previous notes from Ashdogg, "Ane Marie Prebensen actually died at 11pm on the 17th September, 1873 – but her death on the Punjaub was recorded as the next day, being on the 18th September, 1873. The death of Ane’s mother Anne Prebensen was recorded on the 19th September, 1873. The Punjaub arrived into Lyttelton Harbour the next day, on the 20th September, 1873 where it flew a yellow jack flag letting it known deadly disease was onboard and anchored itself. It sounds to me, reading that newspaper article, that a health officer didn’t come until the morning of the following day (21st September, 1873), so I’d say that those aboard the Punjaub were put into quarantine later that day.") <br /><br />From documents received from Ashdogg we now know that Ane Marie Prebensen and her Mother Ane Prebensen were definitely buried at sea. The record from Canterbury Museum states “Committed the body of A. Prebensen to the deep.” – so they can both be deleted as possibilities for Camp Bay Cemetery .Belhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121665583453181540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604779099741634311.post-85891846244277170402014-11-09T19:45:07.552-08:002014-11-09T19:45:07.552-08:00Hi there it seems like the Camp Bay settlement was...Hi there it seems like the Camp Bay settlement was established on the arrival of the "Captain Cook" in Sep 1863 with a number of passengers who showed symptoms of fever (thought to possibly have been Typhoid).

I am related to Catherine Prebensen and ha...Hi Bel,<br />I am related to Catherine Prebensen and have been recently doing research on my family tree. Catherine and her family came out to New Zealand on the "Barque Punjaub" (also known as just the "Punjaub") in 1873. According to an article I found on the website Paperspast, the Danish people spent time in quaratine at Camp Bay (I am not sure if they were transferred from Ripa Island or straight from the "Punjaub" itself).<br /><br />I have known for awhile that Catherine Prebensen is definitely buried at the Campbay Cemetery. I went to my local library last week and used their online burial locator database. I found it referred to Catherine's burial location as "Lyttelton" so I take it it is referring to "Lyttelton Habour" rather than the township.<br /><br />Catherine's Mother Anne Prebensen and sister Ane Marie Prebensen (also known as Marie/Maria Prebensen) died within 2 days of reaching New Zealand. The burial locator also had them as buried in "Lyttelton" and I double checked with the Christchurch Council Cemetery Database and there is no record of them in Lyttelton's cemeteries. So I am confident (without being able to see a cemetery record of Camp Bay Cemetery) that the mother Anne Prebensen and her daughters; Ane marie Prebensen and Catherine Prebensen were all buried at Campbay Cemetery.<br /><br />I have also sent away to D.I.A. for death certificates.<br /><br />According to a Christchurch Star newspaper article published on the 16th September, 1933 edition, all those who died in quaratine from being aboard the "Punjaub" were all buried at Campbay.Ashdogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722436921707203900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604779099741634311.post-35543310846126749192014-04-11T21:34:13.721-07:002014-04-11T21:34:13.721-07:00Thanks Jenny, this is a great help to me.
