Thanks Janette,

Mary Dorothea CONRADSON likely followed the Roman Catholic faith as her name is listed in the list of departed St Francis of Assisi parishioners in Nelson.

http://www.stfrancis.hostei.com/memorialann.html

I never expected to get a lead on her this quickly (but of course I should have known better, shouldn't I, this is the New Zealand Board after all! ;D).

I'll do some legwork on this and let you know how I get on.

Conradson  Steffan James 


The marriage on the CD is not to your lass Spades.

Archway has a probate for this chap at Christchurch.

Cheers

Blast! And with that name and age I was sure it was her.

Back to square one, then.

Just a thought, though.

What was the year of his marriage? Might Steffan have been married twice, with Mary Dorothea the second one, and after 1956?

I doubled checked on A$A and that wife is with him on the 1954 ER and from there on he is listed with no wife.

No second marriage.   I found the cemetery where he is buried and there is a photo of the headstone.

Could it not be that Mary Dorothea married Steffan Conradson prior to him marrying Mary Agnes, and then separated?

Does A$ support that supposition?
