Hello Everyone, I cannot thank you all enough, for the wonderful interest and help I've received from many on this List over the past very few days regarding William Joseph Garrett, Carpenter of Nelson and his Family and their history. I have responded to each email personally, but thought an update of Thanks to all, must be given at this time. I am still without the piece of the puzzle stating just where WILLIAM JOSEPH GARRETT was born in 1896 or indeed who his parents were......however, we are now down this Family's history line to his daughter ELIZABETH FLORENCE McGREGOR who married a Scot, MENZIES RISK MCGREGOR and was found living in Phillipstown, Christchurch for many years....up to 1981. As well a son, PETER JOSEPH THOMSON McGREGOR was living with them in later Rolls. The home was sold a few years ago, so the lead has ended. I still have emails out to different Funeral Homes and the RSA, so my investigations still have a little hope of finding my missing puzzle. Cheers for now, Robyn Australia
