Thanks Wendy. PM sent with some death notices, which if you don't already have, may be useful?

Thanks Minniehaha for the links.  I have checked Familysearch and the probate record is not there.

An avenue for further research!

Yes ... the Probate record is there.      [Digitised ... but not indexed by name as yet ...]

So you need to use the "Browse through .... images" > select the Court (Auckland) > select the year (1929) > the batch number (you're looking for Probate "P149") ... have a rough guess at where "149" might be in the batch.  It takes a while to flick through and find.

Thanks Lu.

Found it.  I had missed that at the bottom.  Now I know where to look in the future.

Thanks again.

Thanks Minniehaha.

I now have a copy of the birth registration of Frederick William Doble, born 16 May 1875, Mount Street, Auckland.  Informant was Mary Jane Conway, Aunt, Mount Street.

Sadly Frederick was only a few weeks old when his Father drowned.

I wonder if this is the death of that aunt?

Abstract   The Anglican Sexton's list has James Conway at Block C 76 and Susan and Susanna at C77. According to the late 1950's tombstone transcriptions James Conway died aged 66 years and his wife Susan Conway died aged 74 years, a son and daughter were Susanna and William, and James John Conway died 11 August 1920 aged 79 years.

The St Pauls register has James Conway buried 24 October 1865 aged 66 years of Albert Street, Susan Conway buried 25 August 1872 aged 70 years of Mount Street, Susan Conway buried 20 May 1874 aged 29 years of Mount Street and George William Conway an infant who died 6 December 1858 and was buried 7 December 1858.

The Town Clerk's file 303/36 of 20/12/1932 at Auckland City Council Archives has a Miss M. J. Conway complaining of damage to a Conway tombstone in the Anglican section - this is the most likely one.
Early 1900's repairs to the Wesleyan/Anglican section refer to three children of John Conway, and describe the grave as having "no fence, headstone at West end".
Subjects   Conway, James, d.1865; Conway, Susan, d.1872; Conway, Susan, d.1874; Conway, George William, d.1858; Conway, William; Conway, James John, d.1920; Conway, Mary Jane; Conway, -; Conway, Susannah; Conway, William Henry
Symonds Street Cemetery
     Notes: The Anglican Memorial has James Conway, Susan Conway, Susannah Conway (daughter), William Henry Conway (son) and James John (son) Conway.

Thanks Minniehaha.

It is likely that it is the family.  When Maria Conway married Robert Doble a witness to the marriage was a James Conway.  It appears that his occupation was "Senter" as this appears after his name. 

Can anybody advise what a "Senter" is?
