Born 1940, when did he die.  We are not allowed to give any details on someone who may still be living.  You may need to remove his name

Hello

Given the dates you've supplied for the parents, I suspect they are Arthur Reginald JOHNSON and his first wife, Margaret Campbell JOHNSON (nee SPENCE).   There is a 1932 NZ marriage index listing for them.

Unsure if you had accessed the Whanganui (Wanganui) Cemetery website previously when quoting their dates of death ???

Here is cemetery search page, link > >
https://www.whanganui.govt.nz/Services-Amenities/Cemeteries-Crematorium/Cemetery-Search

You will note from Cemetery search record, that Arthur Reginald JOHNSON had actually died at Christchurch (South Island) on 18 October 1990.  The Wanganui listing records an ashes burial.
