A huge THANKS to Leanne, Elli and Althea for the amazing search you've all done!
Re the death of William Maurice, it came via a cousin who has been  doing the tree, but so it seems is wrong. I can see the need to verify the info she has put in before I just take it as correct.

Doing a search ( as I now can in NZ) I wonder if this might then be him, dying in NZ 1920?
1920/13172   Robinson    William Maurice    50Y
I would say 99% yes, given that he was o the 1919 Electoral Roll...not further?

Elli - that explains why I could not find those births here in NSW.
I had the mge of Unita to Ezzey but not the other marriages. Thank you!
(And yes, it is so much simpler than SMITH searching - I do have SMITH family connections in NZ from my 3X gt Grandparents, Kotiro HINERANGI/Alexander GRAY from Korokareka.)

Thanks again for the assistance,,,you have al made the start to my New Year a great one!
Cheers and blessings
Julie

Hi again Julie

Just remembering these names from your previous thread ... (thought I'd posted details of burial for William Maurice ROBINSON (1920) ... but seems not.)  ???

You'll find his burial record and photos of plot, at the following link.

Mmm   ... Gladys Alfreda HARRIS died in 1923 - aged 32 years (born about 1891).

[William Maurice and Catherine E.L. weren't married until 1896. ]

??? 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


Hi Julie


Looks like "Mary" was in fact "May".   ;)


NSW - BIRTHS

1905 - ROBINSON - May D.
[Parents : William M. & Catherine E.L.]


... and "May Dorothea SCOBLE" - died June 1984 - aged 79 years (bc 1905)

is also in that same Karori Cemetery plot.
