Title: Arthur John PINKNEY and Margaret Ann PINKNEY nee TRENHOLME d 1996
Post by: Tgapitbull on Wednesday 28 April 21 08:41 BST (UK)

The names of Arthur John PINKNEY born 1945? Great Ayton, North Yorkshire and his wife Margaret Ann PINKNEY nee TRENHOLME appear on a list of unclaimed ashes held by Gateway Funeral Services in Whakatane, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.  I have been researching these names and have no family connection.
Arthur and Margaret married in 1969 at All Saints, Great Ayton, North Allerton.
Arthur died on 23 November 1996 and Margaret died on 19 December 1996 in Kawerau, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
They had two sons born in Cleveland, England in the 1970's.  I have been unable to find them in NZ and wonder if they returned to England after the death of their parents?  The eldest one was an Instrument Technician.
The following is the link to Arthur's Will/Probate Record (Archives NZ - Archway website).  I have been unable to find any of those named in the Will too date.

The Funeral Director is looking for next of kin who could provide instructions as to what is to happen to Arthur and Margaret's ashes.
I realise this forum is to assist with finding deceased family members rather than living family members but have hit a brick wall with my research. 
If anyone is able to provide information which may help to locate next-of-kin please send me a PM.

Not wishing to offend but there are seven researchers registering an interest in the Pinkney family on this site.

Hi warncoort,
I am not offended by you indicating there there are seven researchers interested in the Pinkney family.
I am looking for particular recent information rather than historical pre 1900 general information on the Pinkney family.

Do you have information that these researchers do not hold data beyond 1900?The events you refer to may have happened in their lifetime.

TPB, it might be worth your having a look or leave a message on a family tree

Thanks all for your postings.
I did contact an Ancestry tree owner who was unable to assist.
Some tree owners haven't logged onto the site for 3-11 months.
Unexpectedly I was contacted today by someone who I have assisted previously.  They were able to track down one of the son's living in NZ and they have now spoken with them to let them know that their parent's ashes as with the Funeral Director.
