Hi to all that has helped with searching for Alice Brown, I have found Alice's birth name is Eveline Jean Elizabeth Brown born Waitaki Canterbury New Zealand 19/4/1866 I also found her death from the Cemetery where her son is buried under the name Evelyn Burgess died 11/7/1978 now to find her parents in New Zealand,they say it is quiet hard to get information. Thank you once again.

Well from above (but looks muddling!) what are details from her Birth Cert., and Marriage Cert., regarding Daniel etc...

Quite a bit relating to Australia and New Zealand available on Ancestry, Find My Past etc...also google brings up Cemeteries online as well as other Records for which area.
