Wish I could do more to help,Did the parents go to NZ as well if not and you can get dates of death/birth for them I could have a look in the local graveyard for you if you`d like as my sister lives in Stradbally and I`m often over there.

Thanks for that link, I'll email them.

I'm not sure if the parents went to NZ or not, the name is too common to pick them!

Thanks
