Title: Obituary Lookup Westland Region
Post by: Garry Edgar2 on Saturday 04 July 20 03:46 BST (UK)
Hi again folks.

I am trying to find an obituary for Anne Duncan(nee Stewart) who died in the Westland Region 18-7-1969.  On line searching has netted no results.

She is buried at a Cemetery in Reefton.

NB one of her sons should still be alive but is not returning our contact.

TIA

[Funeral directors details for example may be helpful, if they are still in business.]

Thanks. I've seen that. The wording makes me assume they had more than one child.
