Firth family.
« on: Friday 23 February 24 14:49 GMT (UK) »
Florence Firth b.1879 in Barnsley Yorks married Albert H Westwood in S1/4 1919 in Barnsley and they went to New Zealand.
In 1920/21 in New Zealand their son William Firth Westwood (known as Peter) was born.

Florence Westwood died in Newton Abbott Devon in 1959.  Living with her was her son William Firth Westwood and his wife? Irene Florence Westwood.

Looking for the record of the marriage of William and Irene (William had returned to the U K with his mother in the late 1920's)
Don't believe thay had any children.
Also looking for the dates of death of William and Irene Westwood and their place of burial.
Thanks.

Just in case anyone else spots that there is a Florence Irene Westwood death in Mendip, Somerset Q1 2000 dob 29/11/19:–

She is in the 1939 register still single (with a different surname) so not her.

Hi
By 1987 they had returned to New Zealand  at Titirangi
William Firth Westwood  3 Tanekaha Road a painter
Irene Florence Westwood same address.
They had been there since 1975.
It looks like they died 1988 and 1993.

She is buried at Waikumete Cemetery & Crematorium Glen Eden Auckland

Loved wife of William Firth Westwood.

I can't see him.


In 1946 he appeared in the Nottingham Evening Post but I'm only getting the Index not the story.

Thanks CD - mystery solved!

Believe William and his mother Florence returned to the UK but his father stayed in NZ.  So it looks as if William and his wife returned at somepoint to live with the father in NZ.
