WHeres my Father.?

[TwiggyTree]

That's interesting about the bill being sent to the hospital.  My only experience with this was when a person died after being admitted to hospital; and no attempt was made to find their next of kin.  They were then buried in a pauper's grave in the cemetery paid for by the 'state'.  Their death certificate listed no children but they actually had 4 or 5.

Peter,

Were you and your brother aware your father was ill in hospital?
In days gone by there was a funeral director contracted to take care of hospital deaths where there was no obvious next of kin.Maybe this was the case hence Battersbys sending the account to the hospital.

Death notice would indicate that his wife was next of kin?

Minniehaha.

[minniehaha]

What sort of accent did he have?

Not sure if this question has been answered?

But surely if the hospital contracted for this, they would use someone closer than Avondale.
Mum was not on the scene at this stage, as she had moved on to Possible husband number 3.
The undertaker placed the newspaper notices. All laid out in the papers I got from Battersby. They even filed copies of the notices. The paper work states my Younger brother arranged things, but he denies whats there in B & W. 

I did visit dad in Hospital. He had a cancer in the branch of windpipe. Caused by smoking for years and years. Theres no probate filed either that I can find on record.

Part quote reply #20......

"Considering they had been living together since 1957ish and had brought that house in 62 there abouts."

Do you know whose name(s) was on the Certificate of Title? And when the house was sold?


Minniehaha.

[KiwiPeter]

Firstly, NO he had no accent at all.

Secondly the house was built new in 1962, and I assume they had a housing corp mortgage. Vaguely remember a little celebration much much later when paid off.
It would have been sold after his death, I know that for sure. Even the family lawyers no longer practice, so going be hard contacting them.

Thirdly,
I had contacted Veterans affairs, Kind of forgot I had done that, They sent me to the NZ defence forces.

[minniehaha]

You should contact the New Zealand Law Society (when they re-open) as they will be able to tell you who took over the practice. And who knows what other files they may hold of interest to you.
