Find Ancestors

Good Point! I will check the photo when I get home. I suppose I could have assumed it was taken in NZ it might have been taken in the uk. it is a very formal photo. i will get back to you

Christine

? Page 1 of this thread says that there is a picture taken on Christmas Day in NZ with Hilda in it. So did they visit again at some point or is Lady Kira's find for January 1946 of a Mrs H Hendry travelling to NZ a coincidence, or did they "put on" a Christmas Day for the visitors? William and Hilda are recorded as coming back to UK November 1946

Hi Everyone

Thank you for all of this information.

Catching up in my lunch break

Stuart,
I sent the original yesterday and Christine has it now.

I think you will be correct, William will have married as a serving serviceman returned to NZ with his unit, and demobilised sometime in 1946

My inlaws did a simlar thing... married in Italy 1945 before returning to the UK, where they were both demobilised in 1946

I don't see them travelling out to NZ 1945/6. I wonder if they went on a returning Troop Ship, so wouldn't appear on Passenger lists?

Hi Cupcakes

Thanks for the information

Christine

Hi Anne

Christine

Christine,
Did Stuart send you the travel dosc for William Jnr and his wife Hilda coming into the UK In Nov 1946?
It looks like they married in Lancs mid 1945, and at some point ,travelled back to NZ , returning to the UK Nov 1946

28yr old William was a Baker and 23 yr old Hilda was a housewife
They travelled on the Akaroa from New Zealand to Southhampton arriving 22 Nov 1946 and their forwarding address was: 2 Enfield Grove, Leigh, Lancs
The answer to your question is YES. You have been looking in the wrong country, but then again, .... how were you to know.?

Anne

Hi Christine,
Angela was single in 1938 and still living with her parents
Did you look at her death announcement?

No children were mentioned, only her husband Nigel Robinson.
She could not have been married any more that 4 or 5 years.
The death notice calls her Angela Robinson (Hendry)
However, the same death can also located on the BDM site, where her name shows as Angela Winnetta Robinson age 32. leaving no room to doubt it is the same girl

Computer died, but back again - will PM some details of the children and possible marriage of one of them etc.

Hi Anne

Thank you. I think Stuart is on the right track. What a tragic life for them losing their daughters so young and their son living in the uk.

Do you know what Angela died of or if she had any children? I am so bowled over with all of this help

Christine

Hi Stuart

This is so exciting. I can see why people get hooked on this as a hobby.

I am still at work so had better go home - although this is more fun than watching the football.

Christine
