Wendy Place in the Heathcote Valley, Christchurch

Wendy Place in Heathcote. Nothing on the library website for this street yet most the houses date from 1990. The footpath is also on both sides of the street which is a good clue that the street is older as modern streets of this type tend not to have footpaths on both sides. The street runs off Mauger Drive and this is a clue in the naming of the street which is why I was surprised that the street wasn’t mentioned on the library website. The ancestry website gave me the information I needed and Wendy was the only sister of Warner Mauger and she was married to Gary Cockram. Wendy died in 2014 and is buried in Methven where the Mauger family came from. Most the houses were brick and none stood out for me but one had a brick wall surrounding it that was covered with ivy. You could barely see the wall under the ivy.
