Probate details on Carlson E Holmes and James Alexander Holmes

Classification: Lookup
Surnames: Holmes
Hi,

I am attempting to track down any living relatives I may still have in New Zealand.
It is the recent history that is currently defeating me.
I am trying to get the names and any details of any offspring of 2 of my mothers cousins:
Carlson Edmonstone Holmes and James Alexander Holmes.
I have birth, marriage and death details of the 2, but no idea of offspring (other than Carlson mentions a daughter, Andrea b circa 1930 in a family letter)
The NZ Archives Archway site informs me both the above have probate records.
I am hoping these records will identify any progeny.
I was hoping if someone was in the Christchurch Regional Office sometime, they could look the information up for me and send me the bare bones:

HOLMES James Alexander - Geraldine - Insurance Agent (R21860602) 1970 - 1970
Item ID Agency Series Accession Record group Box / Item Sep Record no. Part Alternative no. Record type
R21860602 CAHY 3155 CH145 165 / TU93/1970 Text

HOLMES Carlson Edmonstone - Christchurch - Company Manager (R21742510) 1982 - 1982
Item ID Agency Series Accession Record group Box / Item Sep Record no. Part Alternative no. Record type
R21742510 CAHX 2989 CH882 43 / CH1199/1982 Text

I have also yet to discover the cemetery where Carlson was buried/cremated. I understand it is Christchurch, but I haven't yet found it online. So if mentioned in the probate details, I'd appreciate any info.

I can provide any information on my research to date if required.

Many thanks and best regards,
Alan Ward
