Hello Janette,
Thank you for the information. I did have a post regarding that, but no further information could be found.  I have e-mailed the Tauranga Council to try to find out if they have the name of the Funeral Director, maybe I might get lucky.  If I could recall just where in NZ he lived, I could do a search that way, but cannot recall.
Thanks again
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Have you searched for a newspaper death notice in NSW? Although much time has elapsed, there may some clues which could be helpful in locating the daughters..............

I did a search through the State Library NSW, as you cannot get 1990 records from Trove, but it doesn't shed anymore light on the subject, as a matter of fact they had one of the daughter's names spelt wrong.  I would assume from that notice the daughters still live in Australia, but cannot search marriage records as later dates are not available.  I remember someone telling me that there was a storey about the family in one of our weekly magazines (sad storey), might have to e-mail the mags and see if they hold copies.
Thanks again
Maggie

Janette,
Thank you a million times.  I am not on FB but will register today.
I could not have done this without all the wonderful help from the Rootschat community.

Again, thanks so much.
Maggie
