What happened to Annie Frances Young nee Lacey

[Lucy2]

Will do - within next few days.

Do you have access to findmypast ?

Spotted (on index) an "A.F. YOUNG - travelling Plymouth, UK to Auckland in 1919."    Drat ... there's no Y.o.B. or sex, shown.   Full record  though may have more info ?  (Often these brides of soldiers, travelled in groups, to their "new" home of New Zealand.)

Hi Emily

Was only able to find the one notice for Robert - alas, it didn't mention his children at all.   

YOUNG - On 12 July (1926) at Auckland, Robert, dearly beloved husband of Annie Frances YOUNG, aged 46 years.
Funeral will leave the premises of A. Holmes, Undertaker, Abbotsford Street and Khyber Pass Road, Newmarket at 3pm today, Tuesday, for Hillsborough Cemetery.
[Source:  "NZ Herald" - Tuesday, 13 July 1926 ]

"NZ Herald" & "Auckland Star" also checked for In Memorium notices - 1927 & 1928 .... sorry, nothing to be had.

Hello Emily....For what it's worth, I tried to contact the person responsible for the Lacey family tree hosted on ancestry.com but for the life of me I'm unable to get past the "give us your credit card details" page.

If it's allowed (Spades?) you may want to post a request on the board for a subscriber to ancestry.com to pass on your contact details to "Waihue".

Or you may simply wish to join ancestry.com

The Army Service record Spades requested for you has been digitised and is available for download at Archives NZ. Surprisingly it confirms my guesswork. But doesn't mention the children.

If ancestry.com doesn't work out you can still try contacting the (guesswork) g-g-nephew.

Good luck

Regards

Thank you very much Lu and Beg.  You have gone to a lot of effort for a newbie.   I will try to make sense of all of the information you have provided.  The state library has a subscription to ancestry so I will try to contact the subscriber you mention.

Would Holmes the Undertaker have records available in NZ?

Hi Emily,

Unfortunately Holmes the Undertaker is long gone,I may be able to get more info from the cemetery office,

Cheers Janette

Hello Emily....If by State Library you mean the NSW State Library then their website says they have the Ancestry Library Edition. Maybe someone else knows for certain but I'm not sure if the Library Edition can access the "Family Trees" option. It allows you to start a family tree but doesn't allow you to view already created trees. That's for paid-up members only.

Hopefully I'm wrong but there's something nagging at me about the Library Edition and Family Trees which I can't quite remember. I just thought I'd mention it.

If you do manage to access the Lacey family tree all well and good. But if you keep finding yourself re-directed to the "give us your credit card details" page then it's not your fault :-)

And, as an aside, if you do decide to give them your credit card details for the "free" 14 day trial just remember that you're on a public computer in a public library. Zero security.

Regards
Beg

I can confirm that 'family trees' are not available on the Library version of A**.com at our local Library here in Takaka.

But if you were going to try the 14 day free trial, wouldn't you do it on your own computer at home?

And I cannot see the free trial option now for Oz version with all our electoral roll data
