I would like to find anyone connected with the above person who can help me with my KENNEDY and CARR research here in New Zealand. I believe that Margaret FREW died in 1976. A death notice in The Sydney Morning Herald 21 Oct 1976 reads: FREW Margaret (Nance) - October 20 1976 (suddenly), at home 28 Murralong Avenue, Fivedock, beloved wife of Bill, Mother of Lester, Ian (deceased), Mother-in-law of Margaret Grandmother of Russell, Pat Colin and Anne. Aged 75 Years. Rest in Peace. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Josephine, Thank you for this. To give you some background Margaret STEELE was my Great Uncle's step daughter. Presumably they remained close after her mother's death as she was mentioned in his death notice along with a Jim who I am yet to identify. My Great Uncle lived in Sydney for a short time but returned to New Zealand after the death of his wife Christina in 1930. I have found my Great Uncle and his second wife on passenger list from Wellington to Sydney in 1950. I don't know whether this trip was a one off or a regular occurrence although when he died in 1972 he left the contents of his bank account in Sydney to Margaret. Incidentally Ian Kenneth most likely got his second name Kenneth from my Great Uncle whose name was Kenneth KENNEDY. I don't currently have a subscription to Ancestry but I would be keen to make contact with anyone who would have known Kenneth during his time in Sydney. The owner of the tree at ancestry may not be closely related but at this stage this is all that I have to go on. If anyone is able to help in this respect it would be appreciated.
