Hi Majm,
I am descendent of Julia Keeffe and Edward Henry Vazey.
Vazeys: Edward Henry and George Frederick were the sons of Henry Vazey and Margaret Rand, all from West Ham, Essex. Vazey is the spelling on the UK censuses and parish registers. Henry died 1852 in Poplar, London; the boys were living with thier mother's brother Philip Rand in Plaistow at 1861 Census. There is an 1861 census for Margaret Vazey as an inn visitor in Richmond. Margaret became the wife of Mr George Andrews but I haven't found a marriage record.
Margaret and George Andrews emigrated to Auckland 1864 on the Ardbeg/Ardberg. Edward and George followed in 1865 on the Aliquis.
Ellen Keeffe: (mother of Julia who married Edward Henry Vazey) - here is Ellen's death notice, 6 March 1876, at Union St, which ties in with what you remembered! Also confirms John as serving in 55th Regiment:

That would match to John Keeffe, labourer, Union St from the Electrol Roll.
I am currently collating info on Julia Keeffe and Edward Henry Vazey's descendants and am happy to share information.
I would love a copy of any certificates and any further information you have. I'm especially interested in the info about the NSW-NZ relationships into the 1940s that you mentioned. May I kindly request that you PM me.
Regards, Lawrence.
