Condolences on the passing of your family member.

*  Does your family maybe have wedding photos of the couple which might identify date/location ?

No, cousins here in NZ are very vague with such
I have asked a member of Geni for help in getting the year of marriage
but no response yet
Shame the online BMD site only allows free searches to 1943   :(

Hi Gaye,

If they did marry in Auckland the event might have been recorded in the New Zealand Herald newspaper.

I recall that there was a lookup facility somewhere (I think you needed to write in). Possibly the Auckland branch of the NZ Society of Genealogists?

Can anyone help with this?

Otherwise I suggest that you search the various Australian State's BDM sites for their marriage.

Regards,

Spades

Aren't marriage indexes only available up to 1956 on CD?  If this is so then you would need to apply to the Registry for a search.
