Richard,
Contact Glynnis by clicking on her name on the left and send her a personal e-mail through GR. If she still has the same e-mail address she should receive your message.

Hi Glynnis

Gladys died 13 Jan 1976 in Birkenhead on Auckland's North Shore..

OLIVER
Forename(s): Gladys Evelyn
Age: 50 Years
Gender: F
Date of death: 13 January 1976
Date of Cremation: 15 January 1976
Funeral director: Dil's Funeral Services Po Box 302524, North Harbour Mail Centre, North Shore City 0751
Ashes status: See Memorial Wall 16 Jan 1976

The family must have moved after this...

Dennis died 22 August 1997.. which is all I can tell you at the moment on him.

Regarding the children... I will send you by PM marriages that I have found but there is nothing regarding these names in our phone listings and they could be guesswork at this point.

However, I will endeavour to explore further..

Persie

Edit: there are quite a few Gladys E Oliver s listed re deaths but this one is correct as had her birth date which LK sent me.. :-)

The National Library is closed for redevelopment and they can't trek through electoral rolls looking for people after 1981... they are not on line re surnames and can be difficult to find the electoral rolls are done by electorate.

Hello Glynnis,

There are many Oliver's in the NZ Telephone Book. I find it a good way to start if you have an idea of which city they emigrated to.

Some good pointer given to you if you have no idea of their final destination. Was there a James Oliver by chance?

Good luck,

Maria

Hi Glynnis.... the 'National Library of NZ' (on-line) has an 'Ask Us' librarian service ..they will check their records including electoral rolls (past & present) and newspaper death notices. They should be able to find them for you. Valerie (WAus)

Start with search trees to see if anyone has them in a GR tree

You will need to know when and where they were born

HI I am looking to contact Richard Christine or Margaret Oliver from Grays Essex England. They emigrated to New Zealand in 1956. Their mother and fathers name were Dennis and Gladys Oliver. Dennis has a sister Audrey and had half brothers Glyn, Morris and Ron. Hope someone can help. I am Glynnis, Glyn's daughter.
