G'day Basil
Take it you are in NZ. We have just moved and I don't think I would have any further information. My goal at the time was to establish any planemaking connections. However, always interested. Not sure whether we can contact each other directly. I'm in Melbourne in Victoria.
I'd try the various Census returns, and BMD records.
Cheers
Nigel
