I have come up against a brick wall with this one. The Benge family originates in Kent and has migrated around the world. I am interested in the New Zealand connection as I live in a part of the country where David Benge settled. He and his wife arrived in New Zealand and settled in the Hutt Valley. They had three children with them when they landed here. Their first child born in New Zealand was John Benge, my great-grandfather.
Ivy Myrtle Benge is from another branch of the family that I am currently researching. I have found a report on the wedding of Ivy to David Haddow in 1928 in the Wairarapa region which states that David was from Glasgow, Scotland. As I can find no evidence of death in New Zealand I am wondering if he took Ivy home to Scotland to meet his parents and they chose to stay there. Any help would be most appreciated.
