I wonder if the divorce documents shed any light on what happened.
Hi Margot
It seems from a comment made here earlier by
spades at the time he photographed the divorce record, that there was a good deal of detail contained therein.
Spades will (or should) get a notification that there is new interest in this particular thread; he's a busy chap, but I'm sure he will reply to your initial question just a soon as he's able.

[Note: Back in 2013 when the divorce file was photographed and its contents sent on to "Red" who initiated this thread, the file was easily accessed at the Archives NZ office. However, since that year, Archives have added a restriction which means that Divorce records are now required to be 100 years old before their contents can be disclosed. (e.g. Divorce finalised 1926 - record available 2026. ) [I'm not sure if it still applies, but it was possible in bygone days to make application to the Courts to view a file which was still under restriction. ?]
Margot ... do you know "Red", the person who began this thread ?? [Just "yes" or "no" will do - so as not to invade her privacy.

We also have here at RootsChat, a "personal messaging" (PM) facility, so if you wish to make an enquiry ... say to "Red" ... or want to exchange email addresses for the purpose of sending family info on to others, it can be done without displaying on this thread.
