Title: Stanley Victor Townsend
Post by: vidlerr on Tuesday 19 March 19 08:56 GMT (UK)

Looking for this person, born in Essex, England in 1928, who emigrated to New Zealand in 1955. I found him living with his wife? Doris Emily Townsend in Selwyn, Canterbury in 1963.

Thanks for any help.
Robert.

Sorry.. me again.. I think his birth age should be 80 not 90 (mis transcription on website?) if born in 1928 but you would need a death certificate to settle this.

Perhaps the person is still alive?

Thanks for your helpful input.  From her obituary entries I gather Stan & Doris (nee Hales) had two children - ^(*) presumably born in NZ, although they may now be in Australia.  So what's the best way to find their life events?

Thanks
Rob.
