Looking for the sons of Robert Leslie and Noni Ellen (Mangan) Smith

[Tawna]

Yes, I know...with the surname Smith, I'm already at a disadvantage, but I have to try.

Noni Ellen Mangan married Robert Leslie Smith in 1940, they lived in Wellington and had five sons before they divorced around 1948 (RL Smith moved to Hamilton and remarried in 1949).
Their oldest son, Michael Leslie, was killed in 1960 in a motorcycle accident.  Michael had four younger brothers and I would love to locate them or their descendants.

Noni passed away in 1977 in Nelson where she is buried with her son, Michael.  It's been impossible to trace the other sons with such a common surname, so they could be anywhere at this point.  Of course, by now they'd all be in their late 60's and early 70's.

Any help or suggestions would be welcome.

Hi Tawna

As the sons could still be alive you will need to modify your post and remove their names as it is against RC rules to name living people.

Cheers Janette

Ugh...sorry...newbie still learning the ropes. I missed that in the rules.  Sorry again.

[Janette]

Just go back to the first post and click the modify button and delete the names of the sons

Cheers Janette
