HUGO HAROLD DAVIES
« on: Saturday 28 October 23 10:06 BST (UK) »
Hi All, I have a problem, this info is taken from a court case in 1937, it states that Hugo left England on 20th January 1936 for New Zealand. I have gone through all the passenger list for that date but can not find his name, tried with only dates no names still no joy. What next?

Possible will?

NZ BDM site is down at present so I cannot check the age at death.

The death cert (printout) should show (if known) his length of time in Nz and names of parents to confirm.

That’s why I want to see the death register entry for the 1991 death which will have his age.

The NZ one names his mother as Mrs F.G. Davies care of a hotel in Auckland in the WW2 ballot entries,  there is a Harold Hugo Davies baptism in Eastbourne, Sussex. Born 1907. Mother is Grace Flora
Father is Hugh Casamajor Davies
