Don't think that is the right Irene, Janette.    Stanel and Margaret were living in Manawatu-Wanganui according to the Electoral Rolls.

Stanel (sic) William Gale REES, labourer, died intestate at Palmerston North.

And I've finally found a possible birth. Irene RICKARD, born in the September quarter of 1917 at Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. Only result I could find.

First marriage was in 1929.    Stanel's name has been put down as Hanel

Can anyone find a record of Irene and Stanel's marriage?

It should have taken place between 1937 (the year his first wife died) and 1955 (when Stanel died).

Yes, I can get his probate too.

Got that photo. Thank you so much.

Thank you all so very much. I am overwhelmed to say the least.
Irene was definately as stated and I know she was dead before my Mum was 20 I am pretty sure. I know she was certainly dead bye the timne I was born in 1961.

I know heaps about Grandad as extensive work has been done on his side of the family, but as he is an Anzac I so very much wanted his service records. They are much harder to get in NZ than here in Australia.

I than you all so much for your welcome and the information so far. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Irene first appears on the Electoral Roll in 1946 ... doesn't help with the marriage year though
