Auckland Look Up Please - Death Records- COMPLETED

[missy1800]

Hi Janette

I did find these probates and Kiwihalfpint very kindly obtained copies of Harry and Bertie for me.  I'm not sure if William is mine or not so I didn't ask as I didn't want to push it lol!  I know very little about the nz Leatherbarrow's, even though they are very closely related to me - so this is a completely new game to me.
There can't be many Leatherbarrow's in nz can there??!! 

With thanks and regards,  Kate

Regards,  Kate

Hi,Missy.Re Leatherbarrow's in Auckland, N.Z,
Albert was my Grandfather, Beatrice my Grandmother, Bertie my Father, & Harry my Uncle.
Bertie had 2 daughters, (I am the oldest) Harry had 1 daughter. There are no sons to carry on the name.
We were the only family in Auckland with the Leatherbarrow name.
Even looking in the Auck/Ph directory today. There are still no listings with that surname.
I don't know how to post a message, or reply to yours, received today.
So hopefully this will find you.
Keep in touch.
Kind Regards,
Colleen Mary. (collcan)

Hi Colleen

Many thanks for your response, I am delighted to have found you. It was pure fluke that I ended up on RootsChat yesterday and decided to do a name interest search.......... and there you were!

Unfortuntely, I am unable to send you a PM to you as you've only made one post. It will be more private and perhaps easier if we message via email?  My email address is ^(*)

My Grandfather Joseph was Albert's Brother who had two children Robert and Ellen.  Robert is my Grandfather who had a Son Peter, my Father.  I am the youngest of two daughters (we too have no boys to carry on the name).

I have so many questions for you but obviously don't wish to bombard you.  I am so happy to find you well and hope that the earthquake did not affected your family?

Well, I can't wait to hear from you.

Kind Regards, Kate

Hi Kate,  glad you got my post.
Your e-mail was withdrawn, (policy)
Please what is the PM (personal message)  & mainly how do I Post one?? or is this what I am doing now??
I have my  Dad's copy of his original B/Cert from Prestwich,obtained 1974, easier for family entry to gt britain then.
My G Mothers name was Amelia Beatrice (Underhill) . Husband Albert. Their daughter Beatrice (my Aunty)was born 06.
The family came to N.Z. in 1912, (I think). I never met Albert, as I was born 1935.
You must be so young? Joseph must have been your GGFather.
Are we allow to swap postal addresses?
Keep in touch, I don't go on line every day.
Kind Regards to you also.
Colleen.
