Forfarian,
I have sent you a PM with a link to the death notice for a John Black who died in Wellington on 7 January 1942, husband of Maria and father of xxxxx.  Interred at Karori cemetery on 9 January 1942.

Another death notice in the Evening Post (Wellington newspaper) on 8 January 1942 states husband of "Ethel Maria Black" 79 Oroua Street, Eastbourne (Wellington).

Joining the dots here and hoping that two & two don't make five! but the following details possibly relate to the daughter named in the death notice & obituary. [I do note that the initials of the Broadbridge man are not the same.]
