death look up *COMPLETED*
« on: Sunday 28 March 10 22:30 BST (UK) »
Bit of a long shot but I am looking for a death record for a Jean Wallace who was born in Melrose, Scotland and emigrated to Auckland with her son George. She must have died after 1970. Any help would be most welcome.

Hi Annie , I have very little information on Jean Wallace and am not sure of her exact dob but must be circa 1900 to 1930.She may have been married to a George Wallace who pre-deceased her in Melrose.

There are quite a few deaths that could be her.............

Maybe she also remarried in Auckland?

I have no idea if she remarried but she may have been living in Point Chevalier.

Any middle name or maiden name?  There are 16 Jean Wallace between 1970 and 2010.

*   Where does this address come from ?

*   How do you know that she may have been living at Pt. Chevalier ?

*   Why do you say "she must have died after 1970" ?

*   How do you know she emigrated to New Zealand (and to Auckland in particular) ?

*   What do you know about her son George ?  (Do you have a year of birth for him ?)

 ;)

Jean Wallace was my fathers aunt , she married a George Wallace and had a son also called George. Going by other dates that I have she must have been born pre 1920 . The address comes from an old address book in my mothers possession. My father told me many years ago that she emigrated to NZ . I was hoping that a death record would give me her maiden name which I could then use to find her marriage on Scotlands People.

Would it not be better to get George Jnr birth record, this will show her maiden name and date and place of marriage.
