Sorry, can't offer you any help with this "other" researcher whose email addy is invalid.
It does sound though that in 2002 when he posted the message, that he really didn't have much information on the TIELLE family.
If you remember, back in my reply # 2, the Peter TIELLE / Mary Ann BROWN marriage in 1866, was a bigamous one ... and Pierre TIELLE (alias Peter TIELLE), was sent to jail for 12 months as a consequence.
The researcher here, seems to have made the assumption that Peter TIELLE is the father of this Millie TIELLE

Yes, there was a marriage for a Millie TIELLE to SMALES, but looking at the NZ death index, this Millie SMALES died in 1985 and her birth is recorded as ...
16 July 1913.
It seems more probable that she is the daughter of William and Norah TIELLE ?
