Can anyone help me please?
I am searching for anyone who may have family links with William Alfred Pascoe born 1917 in Palmerston North New Zealand and died in Hastings N Z in 1988.
He married Adelaide Frances Thompson in 1943 place unknown.

Any help would be most appreciated.

HIs death shows his birthdate but there is nothing in NZ births that matches.
https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/

Was he born under a different name? His wife's death in NZ:

2006/16445
Pascoe
Adelaide Francis
b. 25 January 1921

Just in case you don't have it, link to his and Adelaide's gravestone:

New Zealand Army WWII Nominal Rolls, 1939-1948
Name: William Alfred Pascoe
Embarkation: 1940
Army Number: 30424
Last Residence: Napier, New Zealand
Relative Name: Mr C A Pascoe
Relationship: Father
Nominal Roll: 1 Apr 1940 - 30 Jun 1940

He was a quarryman and the address for him and his father is 50 George's Drive, Napier. Looking at electoral rolls his father appears to be Charles Alfred.

Looks like it could be his parent's marriage in 1915:

1915/2044 Henrietta Olive Heyward to Charles Alfred Pascoe

From NZ BMD (per Cherilyn's link above)

ADDED: Looks like William A's birth and marriage are too recent to show on NZ BMD
