Thank you Judith and Janette for all your input.  Interesting to see that electoral roll entry for the McAughtries.  I missed that Victoria Street one.  Explains my Memory of my Mum telling me she had been at Hutt Central School too, right on the corner if Victorua Street. She must have transferred to Waiwhetu School when the family moved over into the new State housing development in Moera, where the school was yet to be built.

I went into Ancestry today, after reading your messages and found that electoral roll info, so won't need that transcription thanks.  I do have a tree on there, so was able to add it straight in. And also did a few others while I was in there.

My 19 Randwick Cres address (instead of 91) was a typo transposition, so oops - my bad.

And the Stirling address on the Mathews Family Passénger List is great to have as well.  I always like to Google all these places, get a feel for it.  I have been to Scotland & England twice, and followed up on some of my ancestors  and family addresses and visited  graves, and visited Churches where they were married.  Just get a very special feeling!  And of course meeting other relatives has been pretty special too.

I also get a very special feeling when super people on this board, like you, help me out.  so thank you all again!

No problem Jeanne. Glad to be of assistance.  This is why sites like RootsChat can be of assistance connecting people.  I too have just returned from Ireland and the UK making connections with my research.
Cheers
