I am trying to find my long lost first cousins in New Zealand. Are any of you kind people out there able to help me please??

They were all born in New Zealand to my late uncle Dennis King b. 05 Sep 1925 in London. He married Jan in NZ (sorry - no idea what Jan is short for or what her maiden name was) and died around 1977 in NZ.

They were living at the time in Wainui-o-mata which I think is an area of Wellington and assume that the children were born around there. Here are their names and DOB's:

Elizabeth 08 Oct 1958
Theresa 05 Feb 1960
Vanessa 30 May 1961 (Twin of Virginia)
Virginia 30 May 1961 (Twin of Vanessa)
David c1967 (Definately 1966 or later as not mentioned in my Dad's diaries.)

I am well aware that this is a long shot as I am pretty sure all the girls married and I have no idea where they are now.

Somehow our families lost contact after uncle Dennis died and I would very much like to be reunited with them.

I would really appreciate any help anyone may be able to give me and thank you all for taking the time to read this.

Kind regards
Denise

Hi Denise -....... you may like to try the 'National Library of NZ' (Auckland) it has an 'Ask a Librarian' service (on-line) they can trace the family from electoral rolls from that location). Hopefully they'll find David. ....Valerie (WAus)

Hi Dianasaurus

Many many thanks for your post I have just returned after a few days away and found it.

This is definately my uncle's burial record and it is possible that it is the correct Janet as well as we knew very little about her.

Where did you access this info and do you know where I could get her death certificate from as it may list next of kin (probably one of my cousins)?

thanks again I am most grateful for your help.
