The following appears to be the marriage of his parents.

Incidentally, "Taumarunui" is not in Auckland (it is situated, roughly,  in the middle of the North Island.

Thank you for that Lucy.  Smiley

I only know what the cwgc have noted.

http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2949559

Nationality is New Zealand

Nothing beforehand so would not be aware that the place is named in-correctly.

I will look at the link Althea sent to see what else is noted.
