Thanks Ruskie    I have tried looking for information on Dr and Mrs Charles R Vickery but only have UK subs

Probate index for Bessie gives same address in Tavistock and mentions daughter Ivy Rattenbury Hudson & Henry Cecil Hudson

I think you may have cracked it here. The Hudson family are among the early settlers here and are still in the Warkworth area one of the descendants is in fact living in a local retirement village.

Watch this space!

I think that we need to be looking at why the Beales were staying with the Vickery's.  The Hudson connection probably did not come in until after that trip when Ivy Rattenbury Beale married Henry Cecil Hudson in 1931.

With John's middle name being Vickery it is tempting to think there may be a family connection with the Vickerys in the USA.

I wonder if any shipping records show the Vickerys going to the USA from the UK?  It's not really clear whether the Vickerys resided in the USA or NZ, or who is indefinitely staying in NZ. Ivy obviously didn't.

That went completely over my head, I obviously wasn't paying attention

Dr Charles Vickery is probably John's Uncle.
