Humphrey and Joyce migrated to Canada from New Zealand. Grateful for any help.

Look in ‘search all member trees’

Margaret has also posted this question on Find Ancestors.

Welcome to the boards, Margaret.

as ErikaH suggests, the first thing for you to do is to look at "Search all member trees", under "Search" at the top right of this page.
Enter the names of any of those people, and if you find any results which look like the right ones on anyone's tree, you can contact the tree owner by clicking on "Find out more" and sending a message to explain your interest.

If you're lucky, the tree owner may reply, but there's no guarantee.

Did Humphrey and Joyce move to NZ on their own, or did any of their children go too?

He seems to have been Richard Humphrey - not Humphrey Richard:

Joyce was born 1926

In "Search all member trees", someone called Neil has a Judy Hopkins 1956 - but gives no biirthplace,and doesn't have Sally , Peter or Richard in his tree, so probably that's a different Judy Hopkins.

In fact, I'm afraid "Search all member trees" looks like a dead end for all the family that we know about, after all.

Richard was in NZ at least from 1946s, per ERs (in Hutt, Wellington), so the children must have been born in NZ.
