This is a problem as it falls between whatever newspapers we have online - Papers Past finishes in 1915 and Newztext starts about 1984. Indexes to NZ publications starts in the 1940s! Where do you live? Can you get to a library which has local newspapers on microfilm? You might have to trawl through a few around the date.

My father's name was George William Roach, born Tikokino Nov 1910. At age 18 was convicted for sheep rustling and I think was given a term of imprisonment. This puts the offence c1929. Any info re this would be appreciated. Roach stores in HB - family connections.

I believe that the culprit (my father then aged 18) received a prison sentence. I presume that there would have been a report of this in one of the HB papers. Is this the correct place to post a request for this type of info?
