Allan Family COMPLETED
« on: Monday 03 February 14 21:31 GMT (UK) »
I have spent 10 years trying to trace my father's uncle, David Robert Anderson Allan, who disappeared from Scotland in the 1920s. I finally tracked him to New Zealand and think I have pinned him down. I was hoping to find some way to contact his living relatives, but am not familiar with the NZ records, and would be grateful for any help in how to get access (digitally) to the necessary records.

I found a death cert. under David Richard John Allan (1 Apr 1977), which has the same date of birth (2 Jan 1905), place of birth and parental information.

The certificate and his gravestone, which was photographed online, provided details on his wife - Martha Euphemia Eagan (1904 - 1993, m. 1940 in Dannevirke).

I have found his will (under David Richard Anderson Allan) and that of his wife online, but have no idea how to get digital copies. There doesn't seem to be anything on Ancestry and I cannot find any clues online.

I would be extremely grateful for any advice.

Hello

Firstly (and unfortunately) you will need to remove from your posting, the names of the sons born in 1943 and 1945.     

It is very probable that they are still living and we are not permitted in this forum to publish names (or identifying details) of persons likely to be alive.

Hi again

I'll look further and see if there is some way we can get a "result" for you.   :)

Hi Dfwdavies,

The probates you're referring to must be these ones:

http://archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=23244065
http://archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=23679301

Both are held at the Wellington office of Archives New Zealand. I'll have a look for them.

Burial place located.   

However, the plaque - of which there is an online photo - identifies the sons who were born 1940's (their names having previously been removed from this thread. )
