Althea - wow! So Myrtle was really there with Arthur and his family?  Do you remember if she was listed as a McKeon or as a Quelch?

No I don't know if she was with family

my point was your informant said that Myrtle was bought up by Arthur and Cecilia

But going by the electoral rolls he was always living with his ?parents during the years when she was a child

Bye
Althea

Ha ha ha ha!!!  I'll have to tiptoe past on my ears!

Oh and by the way apparently Myrtle Eva Quelch was renamed and married as Myrtle May McKeon.  So she married William John Lynch who died in 1958 and then Myrtle remarried to Mr Filmer.  So she's born Myrtle Eva, marries as Myrtle May and dies as Myrtle Eva.

Unsure if she was every formally adopted.

Cheers and warm fuzzies,

And she is down as Myrtle Eva (May) for the Newspaper clipping that the NZSG Branch hold.

Gah!!!!!  Don't tell me I have to go and get a subscription with NZSG!!!!

KHP, just where do you pull out these gems from?  Wait....it might have been hiding in one of my overly large ears.  Do you do magic??? :D

Right, now have to figure out how to obtain said thingy from NZSG.

It was on the burial locator.    Where to obtain it from, well I can do it, I am wanting to get some Notices from them, leave it with me, and when they send them out, will let you know.    Usually it takes about a couple of weeks depending how much in demand they are.
