Helen DENTON 1857-?

And. I cannot see a death registration to match the 1949 death.

NZ Death Index (@ancestry.com)

SHING - Toy [sic] - 1949 - registered at New Plymouth - 3 quarter

Only way forward is I think the purchase of the 1936 marriage certificate.   
Or perhaps if someone could look at that naturalisation documentation. It might have the marriage cert in the file?

OR  ... why not start with a request for a look-up of the Divorce file (and the file DENTON, Thomas v. DENTON, Helen - from 1899)
