Herbert Cecil died in Auckland in 1969, aged 77. Ian Russell was born in 1927 in Auckland. The following is from an online search of http://www.manukau.govt.nz/en/CouncilServices/ManukauMemorialGardens/pages/GenealogySearchResults.aspx?firstname=&lastname=smart Herbert Cecil Smart Date of Death: Saturday, February 15, 1969 Block: Old Papatoetoe Cemetery, Body / Ashes Lot:ANGLI-PLOT-963Date Buried: Tuesday, February 18, 1969 Can't find any further mention of Ian Russell on Chris's website after the mention of his birth - no marriages or death notices - he could still be alive or maybe he left the country? Kind regards, Linda P.S. I have no Smarts in my family line but did some research for a friend for any mention of his Scottish Smart family.
