General request - Muriel Gale, singer
« on: Monday 13 July 15 12:18 BST (UK) »
A Great Aunt of mine, Edith Muriel Gale b1904 Norfolk, who performed as "Muriel Gale" was a half decent singer, and performed in many BBC and Prom concerts from 1930-1950 - she's across the BBC genome project, and UK newspapers, like a rash.

She eventually emigrated to NZ, and I have a snippet here:

showing activity in 5 October 1961.

I cannot find her death, nor anything much about her in NZ.

Can anyone help?

Ah - found it now, thanks for the pointer.

My search skills were learnt on ancestry, I struggle on FindMyPast, although their records are good.
