Where did Albert die?
When did Maurice die?

You are certain both children went with her from Australia to NZ?

Never mind answering my query above.
I have found what I was seeking.


Associated thread informs us.....

Child Maurice was registered at birth as McCARTY
Albert was born in NZ
There was not a registered marriage for McCARTY/MORTON

Hi again, further to above, Albert never married - I met him when i was a child.
Mary was living with her son Maurice near time of her death in 1926, Maurice died and gave detailsl

Maurice died 1939 in ChCh NZ aged 74.
Albert died 1960 in ChCh NZ aged 88 No birth record able to be found anywhere for Albert.

So it seems she was in a defacto with Maurice and changed Maurice Jnr name to Morton at some time and also Alberts. AGGGGH, these naughty great grandmothers I have!
