Title: LOOK-UP Auckland Archives Probate *COMPLETED*
Post by: Alan5 on Friday 14 October 11 06:59 BST (UK)

As I live in Australia it would be greatly appreciated if a kind person could obtain some information from probate papers which I understand are available for viewing at the Archives Office in Auckland.

I am hoping to track down photos, etc of my great uncle, a daughter of whom passed away in 1994 in Auckland and her probate is listed as having Open Access.  From Archway the details are:

WILLIAMS Ethel May - Papatoetoe - Retired
Years   1995-1995
Agency   BAZZ
Series   1570
Box/Item   5083/-
Record No   94/1995
Department for Courts, Auckland High Court

http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=17018262

It would be great if someone could take photos of the papers for me (if permissible) or, if that is not possible, record any names, addresses, etc of the executors, beneficiaries, witnesses, etc. which may give me leads to find out more about this Kiwi branch of my family.

Thanks
Alan5

Hi Alan

Good luck with your on-going search.
Hopefully the solicitor will help and either the "relations" or the son of the other beneficiary will agree to contact you.
