Hello M77

No need to apologise ...  you are doing just fine !!!   

I don't have any expertise at all regarding "handwriting"     ... but there will be someone in the wider RootsChat forum, who can assist you.

Bear with me and I'll find the link for you and add it here.

Cenotaph record for Major Robert Gordon Parkinson [to whom Rona Eaves was engaged to marry] which may be of interest.

Extract from reply #13.....

"There is a wonderfully long newspaper report of Annie’s wedding, but I cannot lay my hands on it right now."

This could be it?

Yes, thank you. This is the message which clarified much for me. When I learn how to add a photograph, I will post the marvellous double-wedding one mentioned earlier. M

[Moffitt77]

Just to say that I was wrong about Mary Isabella marrying William McBride and returning to Ireland. The message about them is published in Ros Davies’ site but is probably just to mention their marriage. Mary died in New Zealand very young, at 25. Another sad loss of a young woman in the family. M

2. The big surprise to me - I have two wonderful, if very wrinkled, newsprint photographs of the double wedding of two Amor sisters, daughters of Elizabeth and Richard Amor. Isabella Amor, b1876, and Alison Amor, b1877, married in 1906 in the Leeston Town Hall. Isabella married John Thomas Millar. (As I write, I remember a family habit and that was to give the father’s name to the child but to use a second name in everyday life.) I have not yet found children for this family.

Hello again

Some snippets for you :       The husband of Isabella (nee AMOR), John Thomas MILLAR, died in July of 1915 aged 35 years.   She was the beneficiary of his Will dated August, 1914.   
There is no mention of any children in that Will, and like you, I was unable to find any births in the NZ index, registered to this couple.

Death notice for John Thomas MILLAR :

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/SUNCH19150714.2.3

To date have only found this one notice of death (the day of death stated t as 12 July - although 13 July 1915 is given as date in probate file).

I can't find a burial for this man either (MILLAR / MILLER checked) but will look further.

Isabella too remains a mystery at this point.    Doesn't appear to have remarried and no death found.  Still to check further the "Isabella" name (often misspelled or mis-transcribed).
