Find Ancestors

I am looking for all and any information on Elsie.
I have her marriage cert to FG Andrews 1930, her occupation is nusre, she passed in NZ and was cremated in 1976. She migrated to NZ with 2 children in 1947.
Her father name is Charles Alfred Barber and (apparently) a doctor, MBSc as noted on her marriage cert.
Again any and all information greatly appreciated.

The Times Feb 24th 1933
A rather long obituary to
Dr. Charles Alfred Barber
Research in Tropical Agriculture
briefly
Dr Barber died yesterday at his home in Cambridge aged 72
Born at Wynberg in South Africa in 1860 son of William Barber a Wesleyan Minister and younger brother of Dr. W T A Barber
He married Edith daughter of Rev G R Osborn he leaves a son and daughter


After retiring from India in 1919 having been made C I E in 1918 Dr.Barber was appointed Lecturer in Tropical Agriculture at Cambridge.

So Elsie and her brother may well have been born in India
if this is him

then that makes sense of the probate reference that I found
