While I have no personal knowledge of this family, I am always keen to help people get in touch with family >WILLIAM JOSEPH GARRETT of Nelson, Carpenter married to JANET DUFF ? He died >1957 Nelson. 1957/death_reg# 32088 GARRETT William Joseph [age] 61Y - ie said to be born c1896 A search on the BDM site suggests that he died 4 April 1957 >WILLIAM JOSEPH GARRETT that we know of was born in Isle of Man, England >1896....sailed for New Zealand around 1922, Carpenter and Joiner. The age on the above death reg suggesting being born abt 1896 fits your information. There is a probate file for him on open access at the National (Wellington) Office of Archives NZ Numerical probated case files R20145597 GARRETT, William Joseph 1957 Nelson High Court One or more of the documents in that file may name children, and may well mention his birthplace. I can't see a death listing for Janet Duff GARRETT. Perhaps she remarried? Hmmm, I wonder, given Janet's uncommon forenames ... 1969 Wellington Central Roll, page 152 6 RUTHVEN Janet Duff - 57 Marjoribanks St - Married If the above is the widow of William Joseph GARRETT, she must have remarried between 1963 and 1969. She's at that address in 1969 and 1972 rolls, but no sign of a husband. 1978 at 28/3 Bannister Avenue, in Ohariu electorate. Still listed in 1981. 1991/death_reg# 39215 RUTHVEN Janet Duff [born] 30 June 1901 A search on the BDM site indicates that she died 24 April 1991 (Wednesday) The Wellington City Council cemeteries website indicates that Janet Duff RUTHVEN, widow, aged 89, was buried at Makara, plot 6/T, on the 26th April (Friday). The funeral director was WILSON. There should be death notices in Wellington papers on 24, 25 or 26 April - or possibly on Saturday 27 April after the funeral. >JANET DUFF GARRETT is found a Widow in 1957 living in Island Bay Wellington >with her daughter ELIZABETH FLORENCE GARRETT, A Telephonist. > >JANET DUFF GARRETT is then found in 1963 same area......but daughter >missing. The daughter may well have married. Given your Ozzie email address, I'm asssuming that you don't have easy access to NZ BDM indexes, so I'll pop up to our genealogy rooms and have a look for a marriage for Elizabeth Florence GARRETT between 1957 and 1963, and a possible (re)marriage for her mother Janet Duff GARRETT prior to 1969. Watch this space Graham Hoult Kirwee, Canterbury

Hi Graham. I have a William GARRETT in my tree. Possibly the next generation. Married to Doris Ida BARRETT. (born 1924) Two children Allison (b1954) and Alan (1957) The Barretts are an Ashburton family. (Doris didn't have to practice her new signature did she) I may have more info on a file in the attic Murray Reid In sunny Waikato. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Hoult" <g.hoult@igrin.co.nz> To: <new-zealand@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2014 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [nz] GARRETT Family Island Bay Wellington > On Wed, 28 May 2014 "Robyn Clarke" <rsclarke@bigpond.com> messaged > >>Subject: [nz] GARRETT Family Island Bay Wellington >> >>Hello List, >> >>I'm trying to help a friend find a family who I found in NELSON from 1935 >>and then in Island Bay Wellington in 1957 etc. >> >>WILLIAM JOSEPH GARRETT of Nelson, Carpenter married to JANET DUFF ?
