Matthew Place in the suburb of Aidanfield, Christchurch

Matthew Place – Probably named after the Rt. Rev. Dr. Matthew Joseph Brodie (1864-1943). [Christchurch City Council records say this street is named after a Sister Matthew. Fraser Faithfull was not able to trace a Sister of this name.] Brodie was Roman Catholic Bishop of Christchurch 1915-1943. Named in 2001. Biographical information supplied in 2007 by Fraser Faithfull, archivist with the Good Shepherd Provincialate in Abbotsford, Victoria in correspondence with Margaret Harper
A lot of information from the library website for a tiny street. Modern houses mostly of brick. A couple of houses had recently sold but beyond my price range. No footpath here so I had to walk on the road. No photos.  I have found a Sister Matthew Tohill who died 31/03/1966 aged 65 years. Her name was at the Mt Magdala Cemetery so I believe that the council records are correct and the library website is incorrect.
