Notes for Richard Kenneth Francis 'Dick' ADKINS

Dick requested that his ashes be divided between his home country, New Zealand, and that of his ancestors, England. And so his widow Beth Adkins came to the UK with a small container holding about half of Dick's ashes. On 13th June 2008 she met with other members of the related Adkins family including Theo & Rachel Christophers and Tim & Thea Boddington (Tim is the Webmaster) at Weston-on-Avon parish church, where the vicar conducted a small ceremony and committed Dick's ashes to a burial in the churchyard adjacent to the grave of his great grandfather, John Caleb ADKINS (1809-1871).
