Car accident inquest - Masterton *COMPLETED*

[spades]

Hi Mike,

I have photos of both files; the probate is a single page but the Coroner's Report is about 30 pages, both written and typed.

Can you send me your email address via a PM, please.

Regards, riley

.... that was quite quick with the Coroner's report, Riley? ... I sent for one last Monday 30/8 and it hasn't turned up in the snail mail yet ... patience is a virtue

[spades]

Er...I don't recall a request from you, Mare, and can't see one on the Board.

Did I miss your look-up request or did you send your request to Archives and it's them that haven't responded as yet?


Modified to add: Whew, I missed the word 'snail'. Stand down, Insert more cheese ++redo from start++

  ... sorry Riley, that wasn't meant to panic you ... I had previously made an attempt to apply on line but their response was that the procedure is to apply by mail ... except as in your case you apply in person, just noticed 2 days later you were able to view it, so thinking the snail delivery is sluggish

Hi Mare, yes, you threw me off balance completely with that one. It's probably sluggish because they spend so much time fielding obscure questions from researchers like me so frequently!

Incidentally, Archives tell me that the demand to digitise army personnel files is extremely high. Obviously a very popular decision to have made this facility available.

 Just in case you need his burial 
Have you been in touch with the library in Greytown? If you haven't I can check if he has an MI and let you know on Monday, sorry I don't get back to work till then
