Thanks KHP,

If I recall correctly there was a lookup service by a NZSG branch for BD & M notices published in the New Zealand Herald . Does anyone know?

Can it be confirmed that this Herbert is in fact the man (Jack) we are looking for and not someone else?

I think we can assume so.

Herbert Tristam Lawrence ALDER was also known by the nickname 'Jack' (as per the article linked to in Reply#11). His name is pretty unique.

The other 'Jack ALDER', who died in 1951, was too young to be him.

The age of the deceased in 1952 ties in with the birth year mentioned in one of the Papers Past items re Herbert Tristram Lawrence. [reply#10] And the cemetery records show Herbert Alder as being a 'mental patient' [reply#11]..........

If as Spades mentioned, if there was a death notice, notices before 1955 were usually short and sweet, just telling you the time of the funeral, hardly relatives were mentioned or children, only the surviving/deceased spouse.

Sorry, I'm in the UK so asleep when everyone's awake haha Thank you so much for the file Spades!

With regard to occupation, that file Spades managed to get states "farmer".

When Jack left England to go to California, he went there, and lived there for 6 years, apparently learning how to grow fruit. In November 1901, Herbert, was registered as being in the South African Constabulary, no. 1994, Detail Troop, A Division, Krugersdorp. (I have never seen any document to prove this one, but his brother did live in South Africa) In 1904, Herbert appears to have returned to California, travelling at some point around 1907 to Australia, and the following year to New Zealand, where he took up employment with the construction of a railway line... so it seems he was a man with a lot of occupations lol
