Many thanks but one thing concerns me. The Griffiths-Fewings marriage is registered the 4th quarter 1947 and David Arthur Griffiths/Vera Cecelia Griffiths are in Tauranga on the 1949 electoral roll, compiled 1948 I assume. I cannot find David and/or Vera Griffiths on a passenger list for 1948, and if they had just arrived in the country would they manage to get on the voters' list? - though I suppose things may have been disorganised for a time after WW2. I am of the belief that the DAG and his wife Vera C on the 1950 passenger list to New Zealand are only then going to New Zealand.
It just seems curious that they marry late 1947, are in New Zealand less than a year later, then back in the UK (both times with no trace on passenger lists), then return to New Zealand in 1950. Not improbable but the lack of evidence of travel makes me wonder.
If the 1954 death was born here in UK, there are 7 possible births of a David A Griffiths in the 1919-1921 time frame, all in Wales. I managed to eliminate 5 as dying in the UK leaving a David A Griffiths registered Bridgend 1st quarter 1919 and the other in Llanelly 2nd quarter 1920.
But to be honest, I may be chasing shadows as the David Arthur Griffiths I am trying to find is a man about whom very little is known. He is said to have been born c1918/1919 by someone, now deceased, born 1919 who was certain he was about the same age as himself. The 1954 death interests me as its the first suspect I have found born around the right time. But the source knew him c1951 when he was in London working in publishing before apparently leaving in the winter of 1951/1952 to join the RAMC - unproven.
So this New Zealand connection may be a red herring regarding the DAG I am looking for, but it would be nice if the couple on the 1949 electoral roll could definitely be linked to the 1947 marriage and to the couple on the 1950 passenger list.
Thanks
