Hi Minniehaha

Thank you very much for death notices and marriage dates.

If it is possible to look for Vera Marjorie LAWN nee Hewitt death notice I would greatly appreciate it. So far I have three children born to Margaret WALSH and John HEWITT - Shirley, Vera and a brother Daniel killed in 1944.

I did not have any information on the ARMIT family, although after talking to cousins in the weekend to see what they knew, I got the impression that they thought that Emma Jane ARMIT, daughter of Annie WALSH had more that 2 children. It appears that Kenneth Robert ARMIT was a nephew to Emma Jane ARMIT and William David ARMIT.

I am now putting all the information together - the death notice for HARWOOD, Doreen Adelaide. (1985) has me more confused. The above cousins thought that she had a child. I now know her husband died 16 June 1976 in Auckland. Maybe the child died before their mother since the death notice claim her to be an aunt of people I have not heard of. May be they are related through her husband.

It appears that John Samuel WALSH and Thomas James WALSH did not have any children of their own. Now looking for the death of John WALSH's widow- Margaret Mary WALSH nee REID.

Once again thank you.

Hi Minniehaha

Thank you for your further help. From the newspaper articles on Papers Past I gather that Harriet and Hugh had three children. I am patiently waiting for the next child to appear in the births. Hugh's probate gave everything to Harriet and the children were not mentioned. All I know is that Harriet died query in Christchurch on 28 August 1973.

I have been looking into Margaret Mary REID who married John Samuel WALSH. There are many people by the name Margaret Mary WALSH so to work out her death is a challenge.  I think that she may be the daughter of Thomas and Mary REID born in 1875 and maybe she died in October 1948 as Margaret Mary WALSHE. If anyone can confirm this would be great or give me suggestions in finding my Margaret Mary WALSH.

Thanks Helen

Hi Helen,

"......Margaret Mary WALSH..... maybe she died in October 1948......"

Do you have a place of death?

Minniehaha

[Helen13]

Hi Miniehaha

Not a definite place of death but in Auckland.
 I am trying to see if the Margaret Mary WALSH recorded as Margaret Mary WALSHE on the NZ Online BDM aged 73 and the Margaret Mary WALSH widow in the Auckland National Archives are the same person.  Also is this person the widow of John Samuel WALSH that you kindly gave me the death notice for dated The New Zealand Herald, Auckland, Monday, December 15, 1947. His ashes were scattered at Waikumete Cemetery. I can not find a match for his wife Margaret Mary WALSH.

Thank you for your help.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Helen

Walshe death notice:

WALSHE. On October 22, (suddenly) at the residence of her sisters, Ahipara, Margaret Mary, wife of the late J. Walshe, Argyle Street, Morningside; aged 73 years.

[The New Zealand Herald, Auckland, Saturday, October 23, 1948.]


More to come........

Hi Minniehaha

Thank you very much. You have made my day.
It is good to confirm what I had found. Interesting that Margaret Mary WALSH(E) nee REID was up North with her sisters. I am going to assume that Margaret and John did not have any children.

Thank you very much for the PM regarding Vera LAWN.
