An address in Wellington
« on: Wednesday 09 May 18 16:50 BST (UK) »
Hi,
 I've been trying to check on an address given me as a possible link to a distant cousin. But a Google search is fruitless.
Akaten Road, Kuro Kuro, Wellington, New Zealand.
Is it familiar to anyone, or am I way off the mark?
Thanks

Hi Jebber,
That is a definite possibility. Just one letter changed. Now, what about Kuro Kuro. Does that exist?

Hi Clive

I'll have a result for you very shortly - (I believe the suburb is likely to be "Korokoro" which is part of the Lower Hutt area neighbouring Wellington.)

Possibly you can get a "street view" of the address you are seeking, from following link ?

Edited to add  - oops, I inadvertently put "street" instead of road into search engine above. 
But just to clarify > Akatea Road is in Korokoro (Lower Hutt) and this is the one you want.
[To confuse things, Wellington city has Akatea Street - NOT the one you want.  ;D ]

Thanks Lu,
The address originally came from a scrap of paper in the passport of my father - in - law, now deceased. and we feel it was probably that of a cousin. Age and marital status unknown.
If it helps the name was Sylvia Williams. We do know that an Irish cousin emigrated to New Zealand either before or after her marriage, and name change to Saunders /Sanders. Sylvia might be her daughter (?)
Thanks for your input.

Hi Clive

Not sure if I can help further but if you have the actual street number in Akatea Road, Korokoro ... and if you can give a time frame of when the person resided there, I can look further.

Probably best to send any info to me via PM (personal messaging) facility here, in order to protect privacy of the person you are seeking.
