Thanks Kate Seems I have had a very senior moment and I am feeling very embarrassed. Yes it is the Timaru in NZ I am referring to, and his Christian name was Arthur not Thomas! Here is what I already have "Arthur Mylrea Corlett was born 12 December 1884 in Ballaugh (Family Search) to William Corlett and Margaret Maria Mylrea. He is listed with his family in Ballaugh in the 1891, and 1901 censuses Sometime between 1901 and 1916 he emigrated to New Zealand. When he enlisted on 3 May 1916 he gave his next of kin as his sister Laura Jane Edith Corlett of Croit-ne-Gurrin, Ballaugh . His last New Zealand address was 598 Barbadoes St, Christchurch He had been working as a farm hand for G Flemming of Methven During the war he was a member of the 3rd New Zealand Rifle Brigade He returned to NZ on the SS ‘Arawa” departing Tilbury on 1st April 1919 and he was discharged on the 12 June 1919. In 1922 he married Nellie Tayles.( 1922/7143) He was a farmer and they lived at Gleniti, NZ, which is an area of Timaru, south of Christchurch on the South Island He died on 5 November 1960 in Timaru, NZ.
