Harold Villiers Creasy Acheson - died New Zealand
« on: Monday 06 July 15 00:14 BST (UK) »
Harold Villiers Creasy Acheson was born abt. June 1914, Slough, Buckinghamshire, England son of Harold Chamney Acheson born 21 February 1890, Liverpool, England and Phyllis Uva Creasy born 14 July 1889, Badulla, Ceylon.

Harold the son was an expert on Geese Farming and has published many books and articles on the subject. He came to New Zealand at some time and died on 25 Oct 1972, Whangarei, and was cremated at Waikumete Cemetery, Auckland, 27 Oct 1972.

What I cannot find is if he had a wife he either accompanied to New Zealand or he married there. Or he never married?

Hi barryd

Sorry, I don't have access to US and Canadian records @ ancestry.

You may have some luck perhaps if you try posting to the Canada Board here ?
