Just an update on this enquiry. Wanted to let you all know that I've just been contacted this week by the son of Margaret Watson and Clifford Carl Delvental, (married 1960 in Otahuhu), through his friend that contacted me initially in November.
So we've started the process of sharing our information, and thanks to all your help, I've been able to clear up some questions for him, and he's clearing up some for me. As always, answers bring new questions, and we have a way to go yet, but I've sent him details of his Mum's family, which he didn't know anything about, and we have begun sharing the stories, records and photos of our families, and those of our common ancestors that I already have, - our Watson great grandparents, and further back another couple of generations from them.
His friend is helping him with what I've sent, my emails are cc'd to each of them, and his friend is setting up his tree, and will be sending me copies of certs photos etc. His father and mother have both passed away, sadly, his mother as recently as last February,
Unfortunately, I can't get the divorce records yet, due to a 60 year embargo on those, still a few years to go on that. "The Truth" report is proving difficult to find as well, again too recent to be in Papers Past, although I did try anyway, and still looking for another possible Archive where that could be accessed. MODIFIED TO ADD - Phoned the National Library in Wellington just now, THEY HAVE IT, and will email it to me within the next 10 days! Woohoo!
So I want to thank you all sincerely for helping me to make this contact possible, it just wouldn't have happened without your input, and it's really very much appreciated!
Warm regards
