Hello Cr

Don't know whether you saw the listings (passengers into New Zealand) at >

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1609792

> Search on "Lorna HUMPHREYS"  (... and there's also a 1947 entry for L.E. HUMPHREYS)

Gives an idea of her travel over the years ... (no accompanying "children" that I can see ?? - at least not on the lists that I viewed. )

From another source ....
In 1940, Lorna HUMPHREYS (33 yrs) - no occupation, departed Southampton 26 April  per "Strathmore", bound for Australia (via Singapore) - contracted to land at Sydney.  Last UK address ;  29 Ordnance Hill, NW.
Place of intended permanent residence :  NZ

Seems she probably followed her Naval officer husband on his voyages to different parts of the world ?

Thank you very much minniehaha and Lucy2, those snippets are very helpful and I can use the Win snipping tool to save them to my tree too.
Can you find anything out about Thomas's wife, Daphne, please?

Archives NZ (at Christchurch) hold a Probate file for Edward Rawling VERCOE, Retired Printer, (1954) but it gives no useful family information (i.e.  no names of children, grandchildren).
Ellen May VERCOE died in 1952 aged 64.
