Hi Paul,

I am not sure if my original message was sent?
I saw your message regarding my Grand father Edgar Herbert John Thorpe (above).
My Grandfather died in 1979 the same year as his wife Eileen, they had one son Edgar Frank John Thorpe (John), born May 1931 my father, he married my mother Eileen in 1955 and had 2 girls, my sister and myself (Judith).
Both my parents are alive and would be very interested in having contact with you regarding the English side of the family, we do not know very much about my grand fathers family.
Please get in touch.

Kind regards

Judith

bdmhistoricalrecords.identityservices.gov.nz.

Edgar Herbert John Thorpe married to Eileen Ruth Ryder reg no 1919/7060. Im assuming they married 1919 because you are only allowed to search up to 1929
marriage cert cost $26
Marriage print out $20
You can search deaths but have to be at least 50 years old or deceased date of birth at least 80 years ago
