Norah Earl, nee Batchelor COMPLETED

[robbo43]

Norah Batchelor was born on the 26th March 1889 in Betchworth, Surrey England. She married Charles Albert Earl in 1912 in Kensington, London, England. Charles died in 1946 but I had been unable to find any UK records of Norah after 1946, including any record of her death.

I have just discovered that she emigrated to New Zealand in 1956. She left Liverpool on the 7th January 1956 on the SS Tamora, belonging to Shaw Saville & Albion Co., with the port of destination given as Auckland. I assume that she was going to live with relatives in New Zealand although I was not aware of any family members there. I would be grateful for any information about Norah in New Zealand.

Robert.

Hi Robert

Just this for starters, from NZ Electoral rolls :

1957 - Auckland - Waitemata electorate

EARL - Norah - retired
EARL - Mary Hilary - teacher    ... both residing at 113A  Kowhai Road, Mairangi Bay

Just a question Robert,  do you know how Mary Hilary EARL is related to Norah ?

   ~  Lu

The last-available-online electoral information for Norah, is in 1981.

The electorate name by then has changed to "East Coast Bays", but Norah and Mary Hilary are listed at the same address as previously given (1957) and both are shown as "retired".
