Reasons why the image for this memorial was requested

I am searching for my great grandfather James Walker who came to NZ from Edinburgh late 1840's early 1850's. He was a widower when he married Mary Tyack Whitta in Christchurch in 1863. He died in CHCH in July 1875 aged 51. In his death notice it said he was from Edinburgh. Family have always thought he was a remittance man. Can not find him on any shipping lists. His occupation was a Baker. Thanks

My daughter marries a local man in Christchurch NZ next Feb and I am trying to trace some of his UK ancestors as a wedding present when I attend. He is also descended from James Walker Baker and Mary Whitta nee Tyack. I have been unable to find a source giving me his death details ( a printout with parents and birth location) having paid for incorrect certificates and looked for newspaper notices. Could you give me a copy and source for his death notice please? I am in Derbyshire England so can only use online resources. Christchurch Library have kindly sent this link and I am thrilled that you may be able to set me off on the correct line and Scottish records available to me . Fingers crossed! I have been doing well on tracing the Hitchens /Hutchins line in Cornwall if that is useful to you? Thank you Kate Henderson
