Hi Lorri

I have some information for you for Frederick's family ... and I'll post this shortly.   

But just while you're currently online, could you tell us please, from the photo you have, does it include adults or just the children (of Frederick) ??

[Just got my son trying to fix my jammed printer at present  and have had to clear my desktop so when that's done, will find my MARTIN notes. ]

Hi Lorri

Herewith, the death notice for Georgiana (Georgina).

"Evening Post" (Wellington, NZ) - 18 May 1946

MARTIN - on 18 May 1946 at her home, 48 Darlington Road, Miramar, Georgina, dearly-loved mother of Vera and Lindsey and the late Cyril Martin (killed in France 1918).   So loved, so mourned.     Private Interment.
---------------------------------
So, just the three children (and no mention of Frederick.)

In respect of Lindsey and Vera, I searched both Wellington newspapers of the time ("Evening Post" and "Dominion") for several days either side of their deaths, and sadly found no notices for them.
[I get the feeling that they were probably very private people ? ]

Lorri  ... as mentioned earlier, there were no apparent (NZ) marriages for either Vera or Lindsey.

It would seem that they lived with Georgiana until her death, and then later, also shared a residence. 

By 1963, Vera and Lindsey were residing at # 117 Cashmere Avenue (in the "rather-well-to-do" Wellington suburb of Khandallah).   Lindsey is listed at this time as an interior decorator and (in the only "occupational" listing I found for her) Vera is shown as a "clerk-typist".     They remained at that address until 1981 at least.
