N/Z Censuscompleted
« on: Monday 30 April 12 20:54 BST (UK) »
Hi.  Can someoen help me please? Is there any way I can search N/Z records please / census.

I am hoping to trace my husbands relatives. We know that Ivan Henry Penrose  born 10- 09 -1889in Carharrack Cornwall emigrated to N/Z in the early 1900's.
We think his sister also emigrated around the same time.
She was Elsie Louise born 12 08 1896 , Carharrack cornwall.
They went to live in Ashburton.

Link to Ashburton cemetery records  ... quite a number for surname "ARGYLE" (including Elsie Louise)  ... and several for PENROSE.

Hi Llandinam

The following is the link to NZ telephone directories which you may find helpful ?
