New Zealand Completed Requests / Electoral Roll look up
« on: Saturday 30 December 23 05:56 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone please look up a couple of names in the electoral roll for South (?) Dunedin around 1960 or prior.

I just need their address for around that year. They had lived at the same address in Caversham, South Dunedin for many years.

Ida Evelyn Kirkwood & her husband William Kirkwood. Both died in the 1960's. I don't need these dates or any other information.

Many thanks in advance.....

I'm sure everyone will agree that we owe grateful thanks to Spades, who as a very busy man, still takes precious time out to attend to look up requests and to keep the forum tidy and in good order.

Wishing him and his a Happy Christmas and the very best for the coming year.

To everyone, Happy New Year!!

I have a problem with the McNicol family, not related, who have somehow become intermingled with my Nicol ancestors in the Blueskin [now Waitati] cemetery. The Dunedin cemeteries office is not able to provide any information.

**Mary nee NICOL was my ancestor. Also buried in this cemetery is her baby daughter, Catherine Davis who died on 4.6.1877.

[There is a photograph of the headstone for Mary Davis and daughter Catherine.]

Then we have:

"The following burials are also in this Plot
There were none found"

James Nicol and his wife Euphemia are buried in this cemetery. [Parents of Mary Davis].

Can anyone tell me anything about the two McNicol's mentioned above please?
