Henry & Elizabeth Hughes
« on: Wednesday 05 October 16 04:55 BST (UK) »
I am looking for deaths of Henry Hughes born Scotland 1883 & believed to have died 1969 Petone, NZ: also his wife Elizabeth Nairn Hughes (nee Chalmers) born 1887 Scotland.  I believe they came to NZ via Liverpool   arriving Peone/Wellington 1925 along with their three children: Henry b 1919; William 1920 & Jean b 1923.  Their son William is buried in Levin cemetery.  The family lived firstly at 97 Jackson Street, Petone & then 40 Beach Street, Petone.

Hello...

Wellington City council cemetery search has Henry HUGHES d.1969

Age at death was 86 so born 1883-ish

http://wellington.govt.nz/services/community-and-culture/cemeteries/cemeteries-search

This is possibly his probate file. Maybe ask for a lookup...

Thank you so much for such prompt replies Janette & Beg Clonrode.
I'd been looking at deaths in Hutt area, not Wellington city - silly me. 
The passenger list gives me much food for thought & more reseach to be done.
Much appreciated.
