Title: advice on how to find
Post by: marinelife on Friday 25 November 11 15:13 GMT (UK)
Hi

Can anyone help me find the  parents of Patricia Constance Burrows)es, she was born 8/1/1925 in Christchurch New Zealand.  I have not really done any research in NZ and was wondering if they had census returns and in what years they cover.  Also interested in finding the marriage of (*)who was born in Christchurch 2/11/1955.  Thanking you

Hi

Sorry, there is no census data available for New Zealand (all census returns were destroyed).    We use electoral roll and directory information, in conjunction with other resources, to help trace people.

You can find NZ electoral rolls (up to 1981) on the Ancestry website.   ;)

We're not able to assist with providing information for people who are (or still may be) living.   Please refer to Rootschat's policy on "Tracing Living People".

Hi

Thanks for your reply, I know that PAtricia Constance died in the 1980s, so can I still not access her birth records?

Hi marinelife,

This looks to be her death

1999/15574 Tolan  Patricia Constance born 8 January 1925

You could purchase her death printout which would contain her parents names
