Hi Moira On the NZSG Marriage CD there is a Dorothy Alice BLOWERS married 1940 to Stephen Henry STARR folio no. 12085. Could that be her?

Hi Moira: There is a 1940 marriage of a Stephen Henry STARR to Dorothy Alice BLOWERS, and there is an earlier (1930) marriage of a Stephen Henry STARR to Thelma Perry RIDDEHOUGH which is probably (?) the same person (from the NZSG CD of marriages to 1956). Stephen Henry STARR is not on the WWI "War Census" CD as in the Reserves etc, so if he was in New Zealand then he was under 17y in 1915 so did not need to register in 1915. So if he was born in New Zealand he was probably born in the 1910s or 1920s. The online RG BDM website only has births over 100y ago (except stillbirths, 50y) so he would not be online if born here after 5 April 1914. But there is a death of Stephen Henry STARR online, 1988/34398 but died in 17 December 1987, and born 11 November 1903. The Burial Locator CD has him c84y buried Waikumete Cemetery Auckland. Divorce records are held at Archives NZ, but are not usually indexed in Archway, and you would need to search indexes by year at Archives for the right Court, so are harder to find., There is I think a microfiche index of divorces that appeared in the weekly NZ Truth held in libraries.

Hi Moira: Re Stephen Henry STARR he is in the online BDM as born in NZ to Walter John & Mary Margaret STARR, Reg 1904/5381 (like his death the birth was at the end of one year and registered in the next year). I should have said that he was under 17y in 1915 so he could have been born in the 1900s to (early) 1920s..
