Thank you very much. That sounds like a lot of work!

Do the death indexes cover all of New Zealand or just Auckland? My guess is that he didn't return to Britain, but it is also possible that he went back to Australia, where he had participated in several scientific/exploring expeditions in the desert.

This is very much appreciated. I guess my next move will be to see if there might have been a police inquiry into his disappearance. This could be a long haul!

To the best of my knowledge, there were no related Milroys in New Zealand.

Thank you so much for all your help!!
