Obituary Lookup Westland Region
« on: Saturday 04 July 20 03:46 BST (UK) »
Hi again folks.

I am trying to find an obituary for Anne Duncan(nee Stewart) who died in the Westland Region 18-7-1969.  On line searching has netted no results.

She is buried at a Cemetery in Reefton.

NB one of her sons should still be alive but is not returning our contact.

TIA

Cheers Janette

Thanks. I've seen that. The wording makes me assume they had more than one child.
