Title: Probate Records
Post by: billia on Saturday 19 January 13 16:19 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone, I am researching the family history of my paternal grandfather, Hugh Proctor Blundell. He died in 1997 at Roturua in New Zealand.

His probate record is held at Auckland Archives in Mangere. Would anyone from the area be willing to view them for me, or if anyone has any information about surviving family members?

Thank you so much

Billia

I have some information on HP (Pat) Blundell which I can share if you send me your email. (I left the same message on another website that you searched.)

I never heard back from Billia, so I still have the probate sitting on my 'pending' list.  :(

Hi Billia,

Is your paternal grandfather the Hugh Proctor Blundell who served as a pilot in the British Air Transport Auxiliary during WWII?

If so I would dearly like to get in touch.  I am working on a proposed book detailing all 1,200+ pilots who served with this often forgotten but essential unit.

I hope you receive this message, I look forward to hearing from you.

Jim
