Hi.

I had a look at Purewa and there doesn't appear to be a plaque for
Leslie Gordon McCondach Leighton

Hello,

I have PM'd a transcription of the death notice for Thomas Leslie  LEIGHTON.

Also marriage details for his children, together with remarriage details for himself and Louise Katherine.

It is possible that the grand-daughter mentioned in the death notice for Thomas may be living in Auckland. See details in the New Zealand 'White Pages' website. I could check the current electoral rolls to confirm that we have the correct person, if you wish to take this further.

[As a living person we cannot reveal her name on this forum.]

I have PM'd the current address for the grand-daughter mentioned in the death notice for Thomas........

The name of the child of Thomas Leslie, born 1917 should perhaps be removed, as it is possible he is still living.........

See first post.

Also name in reply #15.

Minniehaha.

Re Phyllis ... England/Wales Free BMD Birth index has. Phyllis Margery L LEIGHTON registration Apr-May-Jun 1907, Bristol. This is the closest information I have.

Re Kathleen J ... Thanks for this information. I now have a copy of Leslie Gordon McCondach Leightons death notice from the newspaper a sister.The only other persons mentioned are his wife and a Mrs Kane for communications.  I have not found any other family notices.   

I really appreciate the offers of help and information I am receiving.  If it is possible for me to get a photo of the headstone at Purewa, I would be very grateful.

I am looking for family of Thomas Leslie LEIGHTON, b abt 1875 in Kincardineshire. His parents were James and Margaret Leighton.   Thomas Leslie married Louise Katherine HODGES in 1905.  The family moved to New Zealand with their children, Phyllis Margery (b 1908); Kathleen J (b 1910); Leslie Gordon McCondach (b 1911).Any information will be much appreciated.

Hi

How are you? There is probably no link, but there seems to be a few connections so I thought I would add a few names to the mixture. I am descended from Margaret Leighton. Her parents are from the Angus/Forfar area of Scotland. We always thought he emigrated to NZ and that Margaret was born in Crete on the way. It would seem that almost all the siblings were born in Crete and Zante. Two of her siblings lived in Remuera and were both buried in Purewa!! James George Leighton died 19th August 1959 in Remuera and Johanna Fullerton Leighton in 25 Sept 1972. Any connections?

Hi Melanie,

I can have a look for the newspaper death notices for James George & Johanna Fullerton. Other family members may be mentioned which could be helpful to both you and Gobbolino?

Minniehaha.
