Hi there,
I have found a death in Palmerston North but need a death notice
His name is George Edward WHITE he died on 11/8/1984. I am trying to find the name of his wife as there are too many to narrow down
If no luck here, I will try the funeral director
Thanks for your help as always

Hi Newbe
Palmerston North Library may be able to help you with this ?
They have a group of "genealogists" attached to their family history section, whom I understand are usually most helpful regarding such requests.

It could be Robyn.

Hi Newbie
If you give the Palmerston North Council a email or ring they should be able to tell you what George Edward Whites's plot number is and maybe his wife is in the same place either shared or next plot over. They are both in Kelvin Grove Cemetery however the website didn't have plot number on it............ggrrrr

Have had another look at the website and as they were cremated it looks like their ashes were not buried.
Have sent an email to the funeral director for more info

I now have the death notice and some of the areas that Mary Ann Lydia's Adlut children were living in have changed between 1970 and 1984
So now have other areas to look
Cheers
