I am stuck in my family tree! Can anybody please help that may know- Kenneth Finch Kirk's Father was a Thomas Kirk, ( I don't have a name for the Mother, so am stuck here) Kenneth Finch Kirk was born in 1898 in New Zealand, died 1988, married Elvira Phyliss Macfarlane in 1928 (who's Mother was Hilda Mitchell 1884-1975& Father Robert Carlyle Macfarlane 1876-1969).
Elvira Macfarlane and Kenneth Finch Kirk had 2 children together, that i can find, Graham Carlyle Kirk(born 1930- not sure if passed away or of a date) and Brian Kenneth Kirk (1934-1978).
In 1953 Brian Kenneth Kirk married a Dorothy Mary Paula. This was the first marriage for them both, and they had children together.
I am having trouble locating Dorothy's parents and her maiden name, can anyone help with this? I have read it may be Hill and found there was a Dorothy Mary Paula Hill living in the Buller and the St Albans, Canterbury area before her wedding date but i can't find anything else to confirm or deny this or with her parents names on, or marriage info to Brian Kenneth Kirk which would give her maiden name.
Dorothy passed away in 1984 but her surname then, was her second husbands (who has also passed away)
Brian Kenneth Kirk can be traced to residing in Palmerston North, Manawatu, Waikato.
