What happened to Mum?

[creamolafoam]

I have been guided to New Zealand Board for this query.  Hope maybe someone would kindly do a look up for me that will throw more light on this family? 
 
Arthur William Preston born 1885 in England (Son of William Preston and Jessie Beer)
Agnes Henry Kerr Smith born 1895 Larbert Stirling Scotland (Daughter of Thomas Smith and Sarah Ballantyne)
Marriage in Possilpark Lanarkshire Scotland in 1917.
Donald Arthur Preston born 1920 (England)

On UK out going passenger lists  Passage on Ship Corinthic (from Southampton?) 19th Agust 1920
Destination Port Wellington Newzealand.
Arthur Preston (Labourer age 35)
Mrs Preston age 24
Donald Preston age 1

1928 has them all residing at 37 LOWER HUTT York Street  Wellington New Zealand

1932 Departure on Ship (Orosova???) from Brisbane on 1st September 1932 arriving in Tilbury. Going to address New Maldon Surrey)
Arthur William Preston (Clerk age 43)
Donald Preston (age 12 years scholar)

No Mention of Agnes? Where did she go?
From 1928 to 1932 she seems to have dissapeared!!!!  (Family story has it that she drowned but can find no suitable death record for her in UK.)  Puzzling
Thanks

From a quick glance I can't find a death on BMDH for Agnes.

There is nothing showing at Archives NZ for her ie a probate.

I dont have full access to the electoral register but maybe someone who does might be able to check who else was registered with Agnes. Might get a partners name that way.

Agnes Henry Kerr Dent     1958    New South Wales    District  Banks
Agnes Henry Kerr Dent     1963    New South Wales    District  Lyne

Agnes Henry Kerr Dent     1958    New South Wales    District  Banks  Port Macquarie

Only DENT listed - she is living at Camping Reserve - occ:  home duties


Agnes Henry Kerr Dent     1963    New South Wales    District  Lyne   Port Macquarie

Again she is the only DENT listed :   At 3 Munster Street - home duties

Also tried searching on just christian names  ... nothing comes up in Australia or New Zealand :

Must thank everyone who have tried to assist me with this puzzle and have taken the time to do some research on my behalf. 
I am inclined to believe now that she may have divorced and remarried as 'Beg' posted. DENT being her name latterly. The death record for her in 1977 has her parents Christian names correct and her given names which are unusual in themselves also correct. The record unfortunately is pay for view so couldn't get more detail from it.
The electoral roll also seems promising so hopefully some one doing some research that has full access to it will be able to check it out for me. 
Need to check out now when she divorced and remarried?   She was still married to Arthur W Preston in 1928 according to residency list for Wellington.  He and his son returned to UK in Sept 1932.   To Lucy 2, Giblet, Beg, and Twiggy Tree, my total thanks and appreciation on this.  If I can ever be any help to anyone on Scottish or UK Boards please let me know.  Kind Regards C

 Hi,
The NSW record is not really "pay to view"

"Buy Now" means you can order the certificate.

General advice is to purchase a transcribed copy of the certificate which is cheaper through a Transcription Agent

Here is a link to what you may find on

Thanks for the links and information, Sue re: 'Pay to View' records. Once I have had time to absorb everything posted in response to my questions between the NewZealand and Australian Boards I will try the Transcription Service out. Thanks Carol

Hi C.

See earlier post re: electoral information (highlighted in blue).   That I'm afraid, is the full extent of information available.
