New Zealand Completed Requests / PLEASE HELP ME !
« on: Sunday 03 May 09 02:22 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am trying to find out about my grandfathers family in New Zealand.
His name was "John Francis Marlin" D.O.B 31/Oct/1917 or 1919
Born in Timaru New Zealand...he came to Australia but we dont know when and we dont know if he ever returned to NZ.
He served in world war two Australian army in 1940 died in Sydney in 1968 at the age of 49.
We never met him and my mother last saw him when she was 3 yrs old.
He must have had family in NZ but i dont know where to find them and how...'MARLIN".
I would like to apply for a birth certificate but dont know how to pay from here or if i would need to provide id or not.
Please help me with any information or advice possible.
I have his world war two service records and two pictures...
I know he was married to Mary ford in 1940 (thanks for looking anyway).
I will look at the website and hopefully find more..
Strange thing is he listed three woman on his service records as next of kins while in the war,all on separate service records.
Now i mainly need to know if he had any family in NZ.
You see he committed suicide that's how he died..i will have his suicide letter soon i hope from the coroners court but he is a mystery to us...why he killed himself and why he left NZ.
