Gregerson

[louisa maud]

I have been searching high and low for the following,  have got marriage and birth regs for both of them and all census Inc 1939 register.

Neil's Gregerson  born 1910
His wife
Beatrice L Gregerson 1909

Beatrice was actually registered as Matilda Beatrice L Swan,  married as Swann
I know  Neils was in the Dover Road area about 1972,  I think he ran a shop.  I cannot find a death for either of them,  I assume they would be in the Dover Folkstone area, any help much appreciated

Thank you in anticipation

There are Beatrice L Gregerson and Niels Gregerson on the 1951 Electoral Register for Uxbridge North. They are at 40 Woodcroft Crescent. Also registered at the same address are James M and Matilda F Swan. I believe that the Swans are Beatrice Gregerson's parents?

[louisa maud]

Yes  that is her parents.
That is interesting  as by 1972 Neil's is in Dover Road, found in a newspaper cutting
Thank you, still can't understand why there appears to be no deaths  so far

Baptism record for Niels Gregerson shows birthdate 25.12.1910 but I can't see a likely death for either of them

They don't appear to have had any children as I thought emigration may have been a possibility if any child emigrated

Marriage was 1931 Kent & GRO index shows him as Neils & her surname as Swan - not Swann

That is interesting  as by 1972 Neil's is in Dover Road, found in a newspaper cutting

Was there an exact address in the newspaper cutting?

Probate: Matilda Frances Swan of 194a Dover Road, Folkestone d 16 August 1961. WIfe of James Mason Swan, retired fisherman.

194a Dover Road is at the end (corner of Morrison Road) of a terrace of small shops with rooms above; on street view looks to have been converted to a house now.

Added: I think I found it, a 1972 article about a new road scheme names him as a greengrocer of Dover Road, and also says that he is chairman of Folkestone Liberals.

NEW ZEALAND,!,  well I never expected that but it sounds right from the info, the dates  of birth spot on. I wonder when they emigrated?, obviously  after 1972 when he was in the local paper.

Would there be a written obituary in NZ., ,  i have FindMyPast   but not any other subs.

Wow!, huge thank you folks

Their wills are available on the NZ Archives site :

https://collections.archives.govt.nz/en/web/arena/search#/?q=gregerson

Both wills refer to " my son  - Gregerson ".

The earliest entry for Neils and Beatrice  on the Electoral Rolls that I can see is 1975 at 10 Royal Street Timaru. -The son Gregerson  is on the Rolls from 1966.

According to a family tree on Ancestry the son was born in 1942 and died in 2023 but there is no source to confirm. I've removed the forename in case he is alive.
