Charles William Peach, born Scotland 28 July 1872, died New Zealand 5 April 1949 married 1905 in New Zealand Helen Hutchinson Garner, who died 29 July 1952 in New Zealand aged 79. Both interred in Kelvin Grove Cemetery, Palmerston North.
I would like to know whether they had any children - there are none listed in the NZ birth indexes online. Also exact date and place of marriage, places of death, and date and place of Helen's birth. She isn't in the NZ online births and if she was born in Britain she was not registered with the middle name.
I have tried the historic BMDs online, and also Papers Past, but have not found the information there. Can anyone suggest a further line of enquiry that I could pursue from the other side of the world?

Thanks, Janette. I'm doing this for someone else so I'll have to ask if he's prepared to pay for death certs.
We're actually most interested in the question about children, if any.

It appears they may not have had children as Helen's will leaves everything to this couple

Thank you all, Janette, Spades and Eyesee - how great to get up this dreich morning and find all this information waiting for me. I am very grateful to all of you.
I have also learned a very useful new fact, that is, some NZ wills are available online, which I didn't know before.
