Thanks, Janette, for your reply. I'll follow that up, using the sites listed on this board, but it seems unlikely. Minnie married in Hamilton in 1913 and lived there mostly for the next 40 years, and according to her death cert "Where died: Woodcocks Road, Tamahere from Taylors /road, Auckland". So she may have lived in Auckland for a short time before her death. Hamilton was her home and where she was buried. I have no idea why her death would have been registered in Wellington. I am not a New Zealander and am not familiar with the system. However, her death cert states "Deaths Registered in the Office of the Registrar of Births and Deaths at Hamilton during the Quarter ending 30th September 1956". Maybe at the end of each quarter copies were sent to Wellington??
My original request still stands. It is the possibility of family information that I am seeking, the kind you get from a newspaper death notice. As her home had been Hamilton and she was buried in Hamilton I thought that would be the logical place to find a death notice.
If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated.
