I thought I might spend an idle hour or two trying to work out just who you are but you haven't left any clues so far except that you live in New Zealand. 

If you look at my profile you will see I am female and I live in Victoria.  It was the very distant ancestors who moved to NZ :)

Cheers

Hello, I am new to this site and this is my first post.  I am researching the Edwards line on my grandchildren's family tree.  I am stuck on the predecessors of Gwendoline Ageston Mune, b 1905 (unknown location) and died 15 Aug 1981 Tauranga NZ as Gwendoline Edwards.  The name is too much of a coincidence not to be connected to William Mune especially as this family has connections in Fiji.  Her husband, (Arthur Thomas) Bruce Edwards died there in 1969 but we cannot find out why.
I would be very grateful for any information that you may have on Gwendoline.
Thank you.
Flobo.

Hello Flobo54, I am in amazement sitting here reading this right now. It may well be too late for this information to be of use but Gwendoline Edwards was my Great Grandmother who was indeed married to Arthur Bruce Edwards whom my Grandfather was also named after. They did live in Fiji up until around WWII where as a 16 or 17 yo my Grandfather was sent to NZ to live with his cousins and help their mother out after the passing of their Father. They moved back and forth to Fiji over the years and finally settled in Tauranga NZ. Gwendoline Edwards lived with my Grandfather and Grandmother and passed when I was young child. We have Munes in our family and Gwendoline Edwards daughter has told me about Ageston Plantation which is where the Munes and Edwards came together. My Grandfather and Grandmother have passed on but Gwendolines daughter is still living in Tauranga NZ and a wealth of knowledge about family history I'm sure she would be only to happy to share with you. Thank you.
