Horace (Lawrence?) Gordon KILMISTER

[PatLac]

Could anyone with access to Ancestry check New Zealand, City & Area Directories, 1866-1954 for

Lawr G Kilmister - 5 entries

Hrce G Kilmister - 1 entry

(if allowed here)? 

Thanks

The Ancestry.com index ... tells you this is a FREE search.

Not here! I can see the index but not the images and there is one for Hrce Gordon and one for Lawr Gordon, both in 1954, which is really odd if they were the same person!

Hi mckha489,

Thank you so much for this.

Mlk Br. ? Occupation? Business?

Hi mckha489,

Thank you so much for this.

Mlk Br. ? Occupation? Business?

I think it might be “Milk Bar”

It seems to be in a small block of shops. - as far as I can tell.

Thanks! Do you think I could find a list of abbreviations for this directory somewhere? Is this Wise's?

Maybe he left the family farm business and opened his own business in 1954. We know from the  newspapers that he was a motorcycle aficionado and Milk Bars were the place where they used to hang out in the 1950s.
