Hmm a death for a Thomas More Thomson in 1969, same year as Edith.

1969/35956   Thomson   Thomas More   73Y

Gives a birth year of 1896 which suggests that he was younger than Edith.

Not coming up with any child called Stuart though.

By the way Welcome to Rootschat.   

Children born less that 100 yrs will not show on NZ BDM's

There is this marriage on the New Zealand BDM

1921/313   Edith Mary   Sexton   Thomas More   Thomson

I'll have a look and see what children they had.

Should just point out that New Zealand Birth registration records ( at online Birth index) are only available up to "today's date"  in the current year.   On this index you'll only find "Births which occurred at least 100 years ago".

**  Now see this info was given previously.
   
I have looked at the Electoral rolls ( a useful tool, as sometimes children can be found sharing an address with their parents).    No evidence found of children with Edith and Thomas More THOMSON though.

Hi COLINMKING

You may be able to find the name(s) of next-of-kin for Edith and Thomas More THOMSON by making contact with the Karori Cemetery in Wellington where their cremations took place.

Use the following link >

Archives New Zealand have the following WW1 NZ Army File for a Thomas More THOMSON (whom I assume is the man who wed Edith SEXTON ?)

http://ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE19731251

I haven't read through this file as yet, but did note that his next-of-kin was his mother whose name is given as "Mrs Stewart THOMSON" (of Bothwell, Scotland).

*  Is this maybe where the name "Stuart" has come from ?

*  Is the "supposed son" named "Stewart" ....  rather than "Stuart" ??
[Note:   My earlier search of Electoral rolls included both of these spellings ]

Edited to add :  Yes, this is the husband of Edith - confirmed in Image 9 of Army file.
