Several ways of tracking family
Contact cemetery office by email mentioned above and ask for any family details/undertaker and get names
Newspaper notices for families death which can be looked up or there is a mailin donation service from North Shore Branch of NZSG
PM names of children and I'll see what can be found

Hi Diana
You may find the following link (access to all NZ telephone directories) helpful in endeavouring to find the daughters ? ;)

Hi Diana,
I believe the office at Waikumete is also very helpful.

Hi Diana,
I can pop into the cemetery office and get a printout which may have a little more than the online database.
I can also go into the Auckland library and look up their death notices which may have their daughters married names which would enable you to look in the phone directories on the link Lu gave ,
Cheers Janette

Janette .... if you read the first post in this thread, you'll see that the married names of the daughters are already known - hence my reason for suggesting one or other of them might well be traced quite easily, via a telephone directory listing.

Thanks Lu,
Thats all good,

Hi Lu and Janette,
Thank you both so much Im well impressed with all your help, Yes i have the names of the late Sydney and Emily's daughters but not of there grand children who are possibly still living.
I know the eldest daughter of their youngest daughter joined the NZ Police force. I also know she was born in Wellington Shropshire England 1953
Hope you can undrestand this
Regards

Hi Di,
It would pay to remove the names of the children in case they are still living,we are not allowed to put living on the board,you can always send a personal message if needed,
Cheers Janette
