Rudolph Philip KRETSCHMAR

[belindy]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to locate the death of Rudolph Philip KRETSCHMAR.

He married my Great-great-great grandmother Ellen ISHERWOOD in 1893. She passed away in 1898 and he went on to marry two more times.
Jane BUTLER in 1900 and Sarah Jane WANSTALL in 1906.

I know he had a daughter Violet Grace born 1900 and an illegitimate child born 1904.
I can track him until 1906 but then he seems to disappear.

I searched the deaths microfiche at the library but I was unable to find him.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Sincerely
Belinda

Cannot see him on Electoral Rolls after 1905-1906 when he was in Palmerston North as a carpenter. No wife shown.  Maybe he went overseas?

Only 7 people with that surname in white pages - might be worthwhile trying to contact a living family member to see if they can help

There were some name matches for this man in US records, but probably just a coincidence..if all else fails it may may to look there

Do you know what happened to the children, and to Sarah Jane?
Are there parents/siblings of Rudolph who died in NZ after 1906? (they might have left obituaries that mention him).

Hi everyone,
Thank you all for your replies.

I have not been able to find his 3rd wife Sarah.

Violet Grace died 1968 and is buried at Waikumete Cemetery.

Rudolphs parents were CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICK KRETSCHMAR and JOHANNA SOPHIA DOROTHEA. Johanna died 1917 so it is possible he is mentioned in the death notice(if there is one).

Thank you again for all the ideas.
