[Ronald]

now my search widens to NZ I am trying to find Thomas Murray Munro and Ethel Evelyn nee Kemps full marriage information, all i know that they were married at Palmerston North. he (Thomas) was 40 at the event, so he died in 1937 minus 40 makes him married c1897.

They had 3 daughters and 4 sons ....
at time of his death childrens aged were
daughters 31, 27, 19.
sons 33, 29, 24, 22.

Wow Ron, helpful certifcates now we know that Thomas Murray married. I will look again for his wife on the electoral rolls. Also I think I remember that I found a Murray Thomas Munro on the electoral roll.

Ron, I have a few more look ups to do for you - will let you know tomorrow, trying to sort out a few Thomas and Murray Thomas's

[Ronald]

In fact there are two thomas Murray MUNROs....

one was born 1861 died 1862, and the second thomas murray born 1863 the one I am tracing now.

Obviously the parents liked the name and used it again. This had me puzzled for a few years believe me.

Ron, wondered about that. Do you still want me to fossick through the NZ electoral rolls for Ethel and the other Munros? Happy to do so

DIZZY, YOU HAVE IT TOTALLY WRONG, IF YOU TRULY READ WHAT I PREVIOUSLY WROTE, YOU WILL SEE THAT ONE SON WAS BORN AND DIED AND THEN THE NEXT SON BORN WAS NAMED THE SAME. NO-ONE EVER HAS TWO CHILDREN NAMED THE EXACT SAME AND LIVING AT THE SAME TIME.

Yes, JA, i am interested in the munro children born to thomas and ethel in the Waharoa area. 3 daughters and 4 sons I am hoping that there are decendants and that I can make contact with them. kiwi cousins will be handy on a NZ holiday hehehehehe.
