bruzie: Due to the cache going missing multiple times in both locations and not wanting to essentially create a third puzzle, I'm regretfully archiving this one. Thanks to all those who found it.

Geocache Description:

A one-stage mutlicache that starts at a small cemetery near Ewen Bridge.


The Bridge Street Wesleyan Cemetery is located on the corner of Bridge and Marsden Streets and dates from the time when all burials in the district were made in denominational cemeteries. It was controlled by the Methodist Church up until the time it was closed in 1901. At that time it was taken over by the Lower Hutt Borough (now City) Council.

In 1912 Bridge Street was extended, encroaching on part of the cemetery. A memorial plaque was erected in the cemetery recording the names of people in the affected graves.

The cache is a short walk away and can be found at: S41 AB.CDE E174 FG.HJK

Where:
A = Last digit of year John Scholes died
B = Second year on NZHPT plaque (add digits to single number) + 1
C = Month that Isabella Gosling died
D = Age of William Webb (add digits together)
E = Last digit of year Isobel Cecilia died

F = Number of letters in Sidney and Alice Syke's only daughter
G = Number of Barbs listed
H = First digit of William Bassett's age
J = Length of Fanny Ellen's surname - Length of Jane's surname (same plaque)
K = Number of whole years between the deaths of Thomas and Catherine Frethey

Checksum = 39

Please use stealth when retrieving and replacing the cache, and make sure it's covered well.

Update 28/01/2019: After the cache has gone missing multiple times, I've changed the hiding spot and updated the clues. If you've already answered the questions but not yet made the find, send me a message with your coordinates and I'll give you the new ones.
