Mary Eliza Dunscomb O'Shea ( nee Vallance) and Miriam Lois Barker (nee Vallance)

[kiwihalfpint]

Regarding arrival in NZ is there any indication on their death certificates?

Would need to find the death of Mary Eliza, according to the marriage notice on Papers Past, Miriam was the surviving daughter.

“YOUNGEST surviving daughter

Miriam Lois Barker d 1933

Can’t see Mary Eliza’s death yet.

[kiwihalfpint]

Yes, my mistake in not putting "Youngest" .... slapped my own paw

Might have to find Mary through children.
