Hi Ron, There is a probate file for Harry Weston STRETTON at the Auckland office of Archives New Zealand. It may mention any children. https://archway.archives.govt.nz/ It's free to walk in to the Archives office where a file is being held, and request to view it. If there are any restrictions (which there aren't on this file), you'll need to comply with any requirements first. If you can't go yourself, a friend could go for you and take photos. You can also ask here on this list and someone may be able to visit for you. There is also a divorce file at the Auckland office, for Harry and Gladys Isabell Stretton in 1954 or 1955 (the file carries both dates). Harry and Gladys Isabell HUGHES married in 1925 (NZSG Marriages disk). This divorce file is restricted. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Ray Rob wrote on 4/11/2016 08:16: > Hi Ron , > > There appears to be no children registered to these two couples . at least > up until 100 years ago ! > > Sydney Sturges Stretton and Mary Ann Stretton are buried at Rangataua > Cemetery ( Wanganui District ) > They are listed on Find a Grave where you can request a photo of the > gravestone which may > indicate any children . > > As for Harry Weston Stretton , he is buried at Waikumete Cemetery , died > 1955 aged 88 . > Maybe you could enquire there ? > > > Good Luck , > Ray > > On Fri, Nov 4, 2016 at 4:47 AM, Ravenstone <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi List, >> >> Harry Weston STRETTON married Mary Ann HOUGHTON on the 8 October 1898 at >> the >> Registrar Office, Auckland, New Zealand.
