Bryan Carl McConachy death
« on: Tuesday 01 April 25 07:31 BST (UK) »
Id like to find out where Bryan Carl McConachy (b 1937) died. His ashes are interred with his parents in the Feilding  Cemetery. https://www.mdc.govt.nz/services/cemeteries/cemetery-record-details?plotid=3777 Date of death is 7 Jun 1987 but when I checked the NZ BDM microfiche his death is not listed. I can't find him in the NZ or Australian electoral rolls either. His occupation is given as driller so I suspect he may have lived and worked overseas somewhere. I couldn't find a death in England or Scotland either.

Hi Effrenata,

I can't find a NZ death for him either, even using a wild card search.

I suggest that you contact the funeral director involved, William Cotton & Sons Ltd.

They should be able to assist you.

Regards,

Thank you that's very helpful. Seems like Tasmanian death records are only indexed up until 1939 - which explains why I couldn't find it.
