Title: Finding a married name
Post by: anitawanita on Tuesday 30 August 22 11:11 BST (UK)

Hi all, asking for a bit of assistance on behalf of my Dad. He is wanting to know the married name of his cousin (passed away recently, while using her maiden name). He recalls her wedding happened in Invercargill around 1972

Would electoral rolls help? Have tried papers past

Thanks in advance for any ideas on where to search

Hi,

If you live in New Zealand and have access to one of the main libraries, you could search through the marriage microfiche to find the couple. You know the Christian & surnames of one of the parties; when found this will show the surname of the other party. To check that you have the correct person, make a search of the surname of the other party which will provide their Christian name(s). Hope this makes sense?  :)
