This is the record of her death on the NZ BMD website

If you have any problems or want to ask questions there is a contact button on the home page.

I have a New Zealand death certificate which shows the parents names but this was in 1982.  From info on the net it looks as though parents were included from 1912 but not 100% sure.  So her death cert may well show her parents names.

You may like to consider having this topic moved to the New Zealand board.  Someone there may be able to access the details of Jane's death certificate for you.

Thank you so much Girl Guide  ;D ;D ;D

the information you kindly sent on the death notice is greatly appreciated. Interesting that two daughters were buried with them much later. Perhaps they never married?

I shall order the death certificate now ;D ;D ;D
