Oz to Christchurch then back again

[ezekiel]

My 2xGrt Aunt, Catherine Emma Lillian ROBINSON nee WOOD was widowed in 1914 in NSW and had 8 small children all born in NSW.
She went ( have no idea why or when & had to be by ship) to Christchurch NZ where she married in 1923 , a Charles George Inwood SUMMERS, a widower.
Catherine and new husband returned to Oz sometime prior to 1948, when Charles died (Manly NSW & then she passed away in 1950 in Lakemba NSW.

is - I have the daughters mentioned in the SMH death notice of Catherine, listed as;
Lily   (Mrs Weggery)
Eileen (Mrs. McQuinn),
Mary (Mrs Scoble)
all would have been nee ROBINSON
Lily's birth was reg'd 1900
Eileen's in 1901 and
Mary's 1905
I cannot find any of these girls, nee ROBINSON, marrying any males with these surnames in NSW nor have I been able to find a death for any of them in NSW.
I have a feeling that these daughters may have married in NZ...an older dau, Unita,born c1909, did marry in NSW to a man surname EZZEY.

Would any one be able to assist me in looking to see if there were any NZ mges for these ROBINSON girls?
Also, with passenger lists between Oz and NZ post 1914, where would be the best place to look
Any assistance in this gratefully accepted
Cheers, blessings and Happy New Year

Thank you Leanne  for the 'fast response...and the link to NZ searching BDMs...wonderful!
I would say that it is 99.9% her as she was reg'd at birth as
Lillian A E ROBINSON
so Lilian Anastasia Eugenie sounds very  likely indeed.
...and whilst typing my reply, in lobbed the next sister, Eileen who was definitely Eileen A ROBINSON @ birth, followed by another I thought may have been a sister born 1904 ( born in totally different locality in NSW) and now checks out as a YES!!
I have a relation who has found that this latter find, Phyllis, died in NSW 1933 and hubby was Edward KRUGER but had no idea where they got md etc.
Thank you so very much for your effort...sometimes you just have to go with hunches and ask for help with them!
Have a very Happy New Year

It appears Catherine was in NZ considerably earlier than you originally thought. William Maurice Robinson may have died in NSW in 1914 but he and Catherine had three children here from 1908.

NZ Births
1908  ROBINSON Joseph Edward Eugene / Catherine Emma Lillian - William Maurice
1909  ROBINSON Unita Grace Josephine / Catherine Emma Lillian - William Maurice
1911  ROBINSON Roy Lawrence Guard / Catherine Lillian - William Maurice

NZ DEATHS
2000  ROBINSON Joseph Edward Eugene  (born 12apr1908)

It appears that both Unita and Roy go to NSW and marry there;
Unita to Edmund EZZEY
Roy LG ROBINSON in 1933 to Myra D PRESSICK at Newtown
Roy Laurence Gerard ROBINSON in 1940 to Gladys Amelia MOSTYN at Newtown

Myra Dorothy ROBINSON marries 1940 to Claude SILVERSIDES

These names make looking for my James Smith soooo boring!!

Best wishes
