Thank you Althea, Lucy2 and lil growler for your
wonderful help!
So Yruth married again! I did check her NZ Death till her age of 100yrs but only under the name of Nordstrum. When I found no Nordstrums I wondered if she had gone back to Sweden with her first husband. There was very little on the NZSoc. Gen. Index discs either. I will now order those 2 certificates.
This also explains why 'maybe' Yruth's half sister, Edith Heath (married Griffith Ellis in Canada )is shown on several shipping lists coming to NZ from Canada from 1941 onwards. She may have been visiting Yruth as Edith lived till 1964.
I had followed all the Kotterill Breach family up as a descendant is still living in Taranaki, his probate gave no clues.
Moses had a brother Augustus Somes B. in Manaia, Taranaki and he is in Paperspast too.
The only Death notice of Rev. Moses Breach is in the Personal column of 'The Budget', no family mentioned. This is where the Taranaki Herald has 6 months missing, the only paper available for this time. I was there in Nov. last year and I also checked later with the Nat. Lib. who said the missing papers were never available for copying.
However, Rev Moses B. was involved in a big courtcase regarding the attempted burning down of St. Andrew's Church in the 1880's due to a long disagreement with the Presbytery there. I hoped at the Rev's Death there may have been an Obit. mentioning that and what had happened to Elizabeth Jane.
Yruth Janeive Venorah must be Ruth - Ruth an Aunt in UK who mentioned EJ in her Will, Jane from E Jane her mother and Venorah from a ggmother Norah. Wierd isn't it but a great name to feed into an Index!
Thanks lil for your offer of help. Moses d. 13 Oct. 1913 and is buried at Te Henui. But maybe I've got all I can get at this stage. I was given the Church Office phone number but at the time they were very busy arranging for a Church anniversary so I didn't follow it up. But I may have gone as far as I can go at this stage.
Grateful thanks Faith Green
