Hi again Lizzielogs I wonder if Charles Henry, had a connection with the Silverdale RSA (Returned Services Assocication) ... and whether in his later years, he might have been a beneficiary of their "welfare services" ? The Silverdale and Districts RSA appears to be a large organisation (with it's own cenotaph and memorial wall - as well as a museum). http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/silverdale-memorialMaybe they have a record of C. H. HAND ? Perhaps you could make an enquiry ? Email addy at the following site. http://www.silverdalersa.org.nz/Lu
email sent to the RSA - will report back when I get a reply!

It seems a little unusual that a funeral director would be the informant of a death, you would have thought that would have fallen to a family member or the hospital, or do I have the wrong interpretation of 'informant'? This was my basis for thinking that his son (Can I put his name on here as there is a chance he is still living??) and he might have been estranged.
Hi Lizzielogs
For some very "New Zealand" reason, funeral directors appear as informants on a great many records. (I think of all the NZ certs I have, only two or three, show someone other than a funeral director, as informant.) Strange ... and slightly annoying also. I often wonder, what info might have been "screwed up" in the process of the funeral director taking "notes" from a bereaved family member, and then re-recording that data for a death certificate. 
A possible "estrangement" from son ?? Hmm .. I thought about that earlier ... but the "loving" expression of Charles' death notice seems to suggest otherwise ... and the grandchildren he was "Pop" to, are mentioned also.
Official records aren't always available to consult, when people are called upon as informants (women also tend to be better informants ... they remember all the little details.  ) But quite probably it was Charles' NZ son, who supplied the info to the funeral director.

PS Will get to the PM's shortly.

Aw ... shame there was no luck with Silverdale RSA.
Yes, obviously they wouldn't perhaps give personal details of membership or any assistance they may have provided, but why I mentioned it was, that they may have had Charles listed on their "memorial wall" (seeing as he was "supposedly" as WW1 veteran).

re: Irene JOHNSON
There were three ladies of this name who died in or around the Auckland area who seemed likely possibilties "for the wife of Charles".
I checked their death notices, but found no match.

Hi All
Possible descendants of Charles H. HAND :
Have now made a check of current Electoral rolls - looking good. The most likely candidates (as per earlier PM) are actually two different people (poss. father and son ?).
Sending you a further PM Trudi.
