There are 2 births but neither fit her death age perfectly

1882/8647           Wells    Mary Elizabeth/    Mary/   James   
1878/11836   Wells    Mary Elizabeth/    Elizabeth/   William

It might be easier if you tell us what information you are looking for

Cheers Janette

 - from here, her parents were William and Elizabeth Wells, nee Scott.

So she might be the 1878 birth, just dropped her age a little.

I am looking for Mary Elizabeth Wells parents names to confirm  that she is an ancestor of mine. She was born in Australia (where  I am also located  but most likely migrated to NZ and then married there.
There is no trace of either a marriage or death for her here is Australia.
Her brother William was my great grandfather.
Her sister, Frances( Fanny) did go to NZ  but I am not at all sure that the sisters went together nor which one of them arrived there first, however Mary Elizabeth was the older of the two.
  I have located Fanny's descendants(still in NZ)...but they don't have any idea about the family history either.

Robert BRYSON and Mary Elizabeth WELLS married in NZ in 1914.

If you go to the NZ BMD website you will find it there, and can order it online. You should order the 'printout', not the certificate as it can contain more info, and will name the bride and groom's parents.

She is buried in the Levin Cemetery, as is Robert by the look of it.

Looks like Robert married again in 1918.
