May Dorothea ROBINSON 0- b. 1905

... oddly, though some records list her as "Mary Dorothea".   

NZ Marriage - 1

Mary Dorothea ROBINSON
Wilfred Reginald John SEYMOUR  -- 1922

Marriage - 2

Mary Dorothea SEYMOUR
Cuthbert Percy Price HARRIS  -- 1926
---------------------------------------------------

Deaths

1977 - SEYMOUR - Wilfred Reginald John - b. 1902

1986 - HARRIS - Cuthbert Percy Price - b. 1904

[Given the dates of their deaths, am assuming she divorced both of these men.    Archives New Zealand mostly display references to divorce records on their website (except for those whch were processed through the Wellington area Courts and Archives have these on a separate in-house database. )  May resided in the Wellington area.  ]

Marriage - 3

... to SCOBLE
                                                         see next   >>

Hi again Lucy..
I have been searching too and didn''t find what you did re all those marriages but did find her birth in NSW as May D...mother's death notice 1950 had her as Mary (Mrs SCOBLE)
then punched into your Cemetery search for Mrs Scoble after 1950 and found her.
When I looked at that Wm ROBINSON gravesite pic with grandson, I could see that there was another person/ppl in there with them but until I got May Dorothera and Albert, couldn't work out who.
My gosh ! She sure did re-marry!!!
You are so WONDERFUL...All of you... and in no way could I ever repay you for the effort you have gone to for me in this...
except if any llokups needed here - call out!
Cheers and blessings
Julie
