Hi Sarah

You pm'd me but its still not letting me pm you back, I would be interested on your thoughts as per the topic of the pm, as I am concerned why this information was wanted and now has been asked to be removed.

Many thanks

Thanks for your all your congratulations, this has been so very rewarding, well worth all the hours sitting on the computer instead of getting on with the housework.

Didn't realise how much dog hair is on the carpet, must get the vac out!

Cheers

Re: Tracing the family of a New Zealand WW2 Pilot OR two.

PS.
While Jac and I were in constant contact over two weeks, and she was the one who managed the contact with Colin WILSON, there still remains an open quest at finding family of the late Peter March PRICE. Peter's Mother was a Miss WILSON but we know of no connection with the above WILSON'S.

The saved material spanned from the mid 1940's through until the mid 1950's, with a few of the items directly connected to Peter. So the quest continues, and gives great satisfaction to one 70 year old. His wish to return the heritage material to New Zealand being fulfilled.

Re: Tracing the family of a New Zealand WW2 Pilot - Yearbury's Funeral Services
« Reply #43 on: Tuesday 16 July 13 12:54 BST (UK) »
Hi Janette and crew. Do you know if a, Yearbury's Funeral Services, conducting a funeral at Purewa Cemetery Auckland in 1982, is the same company now operating in the South Island ? I see their web pages only claim 20 years of service.

Hi Alan,

The Christchurch company claim to have 20 years experience between them,an online search brought up these for Auckland,

YEARBURY'S FUNERAL SERVICES LIMITED (1987-07-12);
WATNEY SIBUNS' SONS (MANUREWA) LIMITED (1996-04-03);

It may pay to contact Sibuns, John Sibun does there archives and he was listed as a director,

Cheers Janette
