Re the divorce documents. It was not your father obtaining a divorce, but rather your mother?

You can change your name by simply using a new one, providing it is done without fraudulent intentions.

I'm not sure what was required in the way of parental proof when it came to registering a birth, but now:

"A Registrar may accept the form signed by only 1 parent if he or she is satisfied that—
(a)
the child has only 1 parent at law; or
(b)
the other parent is unavailable.."

So, read into that what you will.

yes, I guess just dropping the first names not completely uncommon.
I tried BDM and did not come up with anyone likely. Maybe arrived on a ship. ?

I may get his death printout next week, but that be pretty much made up, like our birth certificates.

Peter,

If Battersbys gave you all their information on file, all the details that would be on the printout should be in that information.

Cheers Janette

The stuff Battersby gave me is 2 x foolscap pages of hand written information, along with charges.
I am quite willing to email them to you, should you think there's something there I am missing, which would not surprise me.

Hello Peter.

From extensive research right around the world, I never cease to be amazed at how close to home, some one has an answer for me, once they know of my research endeavour. It took me 50 years to get some agricultural research papers out of Tomsk, Siberia. Only to then learn that an elderly gentleman who swam at a West Auckland beach where I went swimming, personally knew the Chief Librarian who finally replied to my emails, supplying two of the four papers, mentioned in the English, Dairy Science abstracts of 1964.

Therefore I would suggest that you follow up with enquiries about 12 Beverly Place New Lynn, and probable employment by Wormald’s [Tyco International]. Was Harry a member of any local sport or social club? [Inhouse or public]

Use the social media available to you, that allow discussion of the possibly living. Contact the NZ Fire Protection Assn, re their publications etc for info about work colleagues. Look for any Auckland branch bulletins, or history reviews of Wormald’s presence in Auckland. Social Clubs etc. Someone will still remember Harry. It's just a case of getting your quest out there.

The house that Google shows as 12 Beverly Place New Lynn is similar to “State” housing of that period. Are you sure the house was not leased / rented?

Unfortunately the Library at Henderson is closed to public visits at this time.

All the best, Alan.
