Hi Red2
Don't know whether you've looked at the NZ electoral rolls as yet ?
Hyde and George are both listed under the surname of GEORGE ... but (perhaps interestingly), they don't appear together (at a common address), at all. [And Hyde, listed as (surname) GEORGE - Hyde Thorne, disappears after 1919 ?? Have tried a search just using her forename - but so sign of her after that year. Should note that the rolls for 1922 and 1925 are not amongst those able to be viewed online. ]
The 1919 rolls show the following :
1919 - East Cape - Gisborne
GEORGE - Hyde Thorne - 29 Fox Street, Gisborne - married
1919 - Hawkes Bay - Napier
GEORGE - George Thorne - Corry Avenue - Insurance Manager
In 1928, George is living in Napier :
1928 - Hawkes Bay - Napier
GEORGE - George Thorne - Hawkes Bay Club, Marine Parade - Insurance manager
George's bride-to-be is also in Napier in 1928:
KROGH - Helen Susan - 89 Marine Parade - spinster
----------------
In 1935 - GEORGE, Helen Susan - married, and GEORGE, George Thorne - Insurance Manager are at 100 Marine Parade, Napier. In 1946 Helen Susan GEORGE at same address but now a widow.
From 1954 Helen Susan GEORGE is listed at Napier using the name THORNE GEORGE, Helen Susan.
