Probate file Lookups Please - Christchurch - Completed
« on: Friday 13 October 06 19:07 BST (UK) »
I am wondering if anyone would be so very kind and be able to look up these probate records for me please.  They are held in Archives New Zealand in Christchurch:

Title:  QUINN Mary - Greymouth - Spinster
Years:1986 - 1986
agency   series   accession         box / item       record 
CAIF       3387     CH845             Box9               GM7/1986
She died in Greymouth and is buried in Greymouth Cemetery.

Title:  QUINN James John - Greymouth
Years: 1933 - 1933
agency     accession       record 
CAIF         CH300            GM628/1933

Title:  QUINN Edward Michael - Greymouth - Hotelkeeper
Years: 1940 - 1940
agency        accession    record
CAIF            CH300         GM830/1940


Lastly, some advice needed.  When purchasing these records (and I've a few more than the above to buy), am I best to order them direct by telephone/post (I'm in Ireland) or should I try to get someone (I'll bribe one of my husbands relatives in NZ!!) to just bowl up to Christchurch directly to order them there and then?.. Hows does it work ? Can you just arrive there and order them or do they have to be pre-ordered/paid for and then you could pick up? or even posted within NZ?  All advices very much appreciated. 

Many, many thanks to anyone who can help in any way.  Kind regards, Karen  :) :)
