Hi Arthur Did your grandfather marry in New Zealand? If so, do you have a copy of your grandfather's New Zealand marriage certificate? This may give information about his parents. Death certificates, although valuable, can be a bit of a risk for determining parents because the information comes from the informant, not from the deceased. Why did you think that John Lane could have come from Gloucestershire?
