Hello list Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction for online sources to find any NZ newspaper mentions and/or photos of Albert and Angela CUMMER, especially of her while in the Otorohanga area. I have BDMs, burials and probates already. As I am in the UK I am unable to visit NZ libraries or archives.  Albert CUMMER, a Seed Merchant living at Otorohanga, married Angela SULLIVAN, a nurse, in 1938 at Mount Eden Baptist Church, Auckland. When he died in 1949 he was described as a Nurseryman. When she died in 1961 she was living at Otahuhu and is buried with her husband in Otorohanga Cemetery. Her obituary mentions that a guard of honour was formed by members of the N.Z.R.N.A. and W.S.R.S.A. at her funeral service in Otorohanga. She was an honorary member of the Te Kuiti Branch of N.Z.R.N.A. and transferred to the Otorohanga Branch in 1959. She volunteered to give nursing assistance at the time of the Napier earthquake. She was an active member of the W.S.R.S.A. She was instrumental in forming the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Otorohanga. Thank you Moira

Dear Moira, The link to old NZ newspapers online is here: http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast Unfortunately they finish in 1945, so they're too early for most of your search. The era you're looking at isn't covered well by online newspapers - there is Newztext but they are mainly more recent than you need: http://www.knowledge-basket.co.nz/newztext/welcome.html Old NZ photos are covered by Timeframes at the National Library: http://natlib.govt.nz/items?utf8=%E2%9C%93&text=timeframes or by Digital NZ - http://www.digitalnz.org/ There is also Auckland Heritage: http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/dbtw-wpd/HeritageImages/index.htm Hope this helps in some way - Jeanette ----- Original Message ----- From: "M Doherty" <mo1rauk@yahoo.com> To: <new-zealand@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 07, 2014 3:18 AM Subject: [nz] CUMMER (KUMMER) family, Otorohanga and Otahuhu Hello list Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction for online sources to find any NZ newspaper mentions and/or photos of Albert and Angela CUMMER, especially of her while in the Otorohanga area.
