Death Notice request Auckland - KENNEDY
« on: Tuesday 06 November 18 00:11 GMT (UK) »
Grateful if some kind person is able to look up a death notice for either of the following:

Kathleen Theresa KENNEDY nee Warmington died 26 November 1965, Auckland    OR

James Robertson KENNEDY died 12 September 1944, Howick

(Both were cremated and their names appear on the Purewa cemetery online database)

Please PM me with details as potentially one child (name not known) could still be alive.  Info from Ancestry public family tree which I use this as a finding aid only.

I am trying to confirm names of children only and I am not seeking any other information.

Thanks
WNW

James’s is on Paperspast
7 Children named

Although wife’s name is Kathleen and date of death is the same, they were in Kingsland not Howick, and burial Hillsborough  ???
(Perhaps he was moved when she died?).

Added... Cremations didn’t start at Purewa until 1957

Corrected to read date of death.

Ta, don’t know why it won’t show in search for me.

Added: I had to reduce the name to just Kennedy before it showed.

Many thanks McKha489 for your posting and link.  This is very helpful.
I also had the same problem as Jamjar finding it on PP.
