Hi KHP

Must Agree!

I think this would be date of death for Berthe 1969/27948 - 27 Jan 1969,

Need a separate post on the NZ board asking if someone will do a lookup for the Probate for them.

Same with the death notice.

Have finally discovered the record of the family travelling from England to NZ.   It seems the spelling of their surname was either originally recorded incorrectly or the transcription was wrong.   Either way they travelled to NZ in 1908 and the surname was VERPELLOB.

Chas VERPELLOB (Charles Eugene - Father)
Bertha VERPELLOB (Berthe - Mother)
Anni VERPELLOB (Aime - Son)
Unknown VERPELLOB (recorded as female - Daughter)

This would almost certainly suggest that the unknown female is Aime's sister and most probably the Berthe who married Arthur Norman Morey.

Great news!!

A friend of mine in NZ made some enquiries and calls and we have now confirmed that Berte Morey (nee' Verpillot) was indeed the sister of Aime'.

Further to that Berthe's daughter is still alive and living in NZ and we have spoken with her.   She has more documents about him and his death plaque.

Thanks to everyone on this thread (and the other threads) for your wonderful input that has lead to solving this one.   Both Sandra and I considered Aime' as being possibly the most difficult to track down and to have a successful outcome is a great bonus for our research.

This thread can now be marked as 'absolutely' completed. 

Cheers,
