Looking for family members of Bruce O'Brien Savage born around 1935 New Zealand, died February 1990 NSW Australia.  Daughter's possibly still living in Australia.
Many thanks
Maggie

Reckon you'll have to edit your post?

So sorry, I did not realise (but should have).
Have amended post.  Will have to fix the Aussie one as well.
Cheers
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

If you don't already have it, I would suggest tracking down his probate and hopefully his will. This will likely mention any surviving children.

We can't help you trace living persons, unfortunately.

Hi Maggie,

There is a headstone for Bruce O'Brien SAVAGE (1936-1990) in the Mormon Cemetery @ Tauranga.

https://www.tauranga.govt.nz/council-facilities/cemeteries/cemeteries-search.aspx

However this lies at the foot of his parents (?) headstone which is prominently displayed, whereas the photograph of his, is not.

To get a better view of his headstone, go to:

http://billiongraves.com/pages/record/BRUCEOBRIENSAVAGE/8291243

You will note that his two daughters' names are given on the headstone.

Hope this helps a bit?

Thank you so much for your reply.
I have seen the headstone on Billion Graves, thought the Funeral Directors were Legacy Funerals, contacted them, but this was not the case.  The information you so kindly sent me does not have a Funeral Director listed, but maybe the clue would be "Morman", I do recall that Bruce and his family were in fact Mormans, will try to track the girls through that avenue.  The gravesite is right in the middle of houses, and I do recall that this land was sacred to his family, have tried searching that way, but again no luck. Have also tried to track them through a Maori Land Claim, but unfortunately another brick wall, as their addresses were not listed.  I do have quite a few photos of their father, and thought perhaps this might fill in some gaps for them, I would love to give them to his daughters.
Thanks once again
Maggie
