Inverness Av.,Mount Roskill, Auckland

[chempat]

Hi,

I have a typed probate index record for a man who lived, in 1967, at 'Inverness Av  Mount Roskill Auckland'.

I cannot find it on google maps.  Do road names change or is it a very small road or does googlemaps just not recognise it?

Thank-you for any assistance.

hello - there is an Invermay Avenue in Mt Roskill - do you have any other information - have you found the person on the electoral roll?

Hi, kiwi jeanie.

I saw that Invermay Avenue and did wonder about it.  The probate record is very clearly typed, but it would not be the first one that manages to make a mess of the address.

However, I do have him, or someone with the same name, in 1963 at 26, Inverness Av, S2, in Auckland, Roskill.  He has, possibly, the wrong wife - or he left her behind in England....

Edwin John Biddlecombe.

Hi

 He's there in 1960 also at the Inverness Ave address (Auckland > Roskill electoral roll.)

Hi, Lucy,

Thank-you.

So, where is the road?  I am interested in what the house looked like - as a contrast to where he came from.

Hi chempat

The lady at the same address in 1963, was his legal wife, as testified in the affidavit of Edwin John BIDDLECOMBE contained in the Probate documents for Florence Eveline BIDDLECOMBE.   See following link >

Have you tried Google Street View ??    Select New Zealand > Auckland > Inverness Ave added (2) :  following new information from kiwi-terrier that street name is most likely now "Invermay Ave"

Added :   ... 26 Invermay Ave, Auckland can be accessed on Google"street view" ... looks to be an older style bungalow (painted white, with a tidy/stylish paling fence, overall neat appearance.)

Incidentally, the 1965 Probate record for wife Florence, also has the address as Inverness Avenue, Mt Roskill.
[ There is an "Inverness Road" in the suburb of Brown's Bay, Auckland, but this would seem unlikely given that "Mt. Roskill" is also given in the addresses for these people. ]
