Tui Walker, Dunedin - Looking for her maiden name

[Burrow Digger]

I'm back again!!   

Gotta new name to find. 

I am looking for Tui Walker's maiden name. Tui was born in Dunedin NZ, 5 Nov 1916, and died in Mosgiel NZ, 1 Sept 2012, aged 95 years. These details were obtained from her birth and death records on the NZ govt BDM website and the DCC cemeteries website.  She was married to Frank Walker (1912-1991) also from Dunedin.

Since her name was Tui, she MAY have been of Maori descent, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

The BDM website will not allow any searches for marriages less than 80 years ago, which means no marriages more recent than 1935. But in 1935. Tui would have only been 18 years old. She would have turned 19 in November.

I am unable to locate any record of a marriage for Frank Walker before 1935, so I have to assume that this marriage happened after 1935. Is there any way SKS in NZ would be able to locate it for me? This marriage most likely took place in or close to Dunedin, since they were born and died there.

And most probably it happened between 1935 and 1940 - especially if Frank went off to war. Again I dont know if he did or not.

I am asking for Tui's maiden name because there is a connection between Frank Walkers family and my Burrow family.

Thank you!!

Hello,

You could try contacting Hope & Sons Ltd the FD's for Tui's funeral as they should have all the information that is on the death registration

I usually copy and paste the cemetery record so they have all the details

Cheers Janette

There is photos of her at tributes.co.nz. As a child, probably a wedding photo, and an older shot. Google her name. Page 2 finally came up with more.

OOH Thank You Minniehaha - and thanks to Janette  for that Tribute Link. Now I know her children's names. My aunt lives in Mosgiel, I might ask if she is still in touch with any of them.

Found the photos and the PDF -  At least now I know what she looked like. Thank you all for your help.

This lookup is now DONE!!!!
