Hi Chris and ors interested,

Searched the death certificate of Ted's father -

DEATH CERTIFICATE
EDWARD CHARLES D'AUVERGNE, Retired Farmer
29 September 1946 at Public Hospital, Waimate (from Point Bush Road,
Waimate)
Cause - Cerebral Thrombosis - 1 wk
Father - Charles D'Auvergne, Retired Sea Captain
Mother - Sarah Ward
Buried - 1 October 1946, Waimate Cemetery
Born - Rangiora, living in NZ all his life
Wife (1)
Lucretia Adele Mollet, md Christchurch (NZ) aged 36
Wife (2)
Lilian Dale Hardcastle, md Timaru aged 47
Lilian aged 78 at time of his death
Issue living (only from 1st mge) M= 51, F=48,47,46

I had looked for the births of his children and it was not until I
obtained the copy of the above certificate I realised the dates I had
were at least 10 years out!!! No wonder I couldn't find them!

I was able to track some of the family through the Electoral Rolls:

1931 Waitaki Electoral Roll
D'AUVERGNE
Edward Charles, Waihao Forks, Farmer
La'Tour (sic), 'Te Wairua', Waihao Forks, farmer
Lilian Dale, Wiohoa Forks, md
Mary, 'Te Wairua', Waihao Forms, spinster

Exactly the same for 1835, 1938, 1941

1946 WAIMATE Electoral Roll
Edward Charles, Point Bush Road, Waimate, Farmer
Lilian Dale, Point Bush Road, Waimate, md
Mary, Point Bush Road, Waimate, spinster

1949 and 1954
only Lilian (described as widow) and Mary, details as above

1957 - WAITAKI Electoral Roll (they are constantly renaming and changing
boundaries!!)
Adele Mary, Point Bush Road, Spinster
Lilian Dale, Point Bush Road, widow

1960
Adele Mary, Point Bush Road, Spinster
Bonamy William C. - Princes Street, Waimate, Agent
Lilian Dale, Point Bush Road, widow
Mary Frances, Princes Street, md

1963
Bonamy William C., Princess (sic) Street, Waimate, Insurance rep.
Mary Frances, Princess Street, Waimate, md

Didn't know about Bonamy William C.!!! Presumably a son? Will take
another look for births when next at the library.
