Thank you Shellyesq
Valerie's husbands name was Raymond Roy Trombley - he was the American Army. I assume they married in Auckland, but so far have only found the engagement notice.
Very grateful for your assistance.
Regards

That makes sense, they probably met when he was in hospital.
Thanks.

Hello, I am interested in the Smith side, Muriel was the daughter of Charles Herbert Smith, who was the brother of my great aunt's husband.
I am interested in finding out more about her and her family. I know she dies in Vermont in 1973, but not a lot else.
Very grateful for any info.
Regards

Hello Jan, probably not a lot I can tell you.  I don't even have a photo of Muriel which I would love.  Jack (William John) and Muriel move to the USA to be with their daughter Gene (Valerie Gene).  There was also a son Athol Herbert who remained in NZ.  I can send what I have on this section.  If I PM I can add attachments?  Regards Olwyn

yes I think so. Athol Herbert was named after Muriel's father I think - he was Charles Herbert. I will try oto find more about him from NZ. Did Muriel live in Seattle, coincidently my youngest daughter also lives there.

I don't believe Muriel lived in Seattle.  I will try and find out more.  I can see attachments here but not in pm.  Information has living people so don't like to include it here.
