Hi

What an experience to search for someone who's father was such a character, so well know in history and now even has a TV show about them!

I am thinking this may be the Muriel you are looking for.

The husband of this Muriel Florence was Angus Bernard Dombroski, he died in 1983 in New Zealand.

If you go to the website below and type in "Dombroski" in family name and "Muriel in given name and put the search dates 01/01/1970 to 01/01/1973 it will come up with a result

https://bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Search/Search.aspx?...

the birth date is a bit diffrent, but thats not that unusual. On the military records Angus is married to Muriel by 1942.

A copy of probate may be obtained through this search result

I would be really interested to see if this is her, can you keep me updated?

Thanks

Hi,
The 1942 wedding for Muriel doesn't fit with other information. Where did it take place?
During the early 1950s, Muriel worked on transatlantic liners and then emigrated to
New Zealand around 1956. All records o this period have her maiden name Mottershead.

Regards

Oh ok, have you considered asking her sister who is still alive what happened to Muriel?

The only information I have is that Muriel married and died in New Zealand and may have had a son Robbie??

I think you will need to apply for Muriels marraige certificate through NZ Births marraiges and deaths. Without knowing for sure who she married, it will be impossible to trace her life after she moved to New Zealand. Once you have this infomation, I will be happy to assist again.

I know the following isn't what you are asking for, but a Miss Muriel Florence Mottershead, aged 35, visited North of England Zoological Gardens, Upton Heath, Chester. She had arrived at Liverpool on the "Secondi" on 15th Jan 1952. Some confusion on ships passenger list about where she came from. At the top of the page, it says the ship came from Freetown, West Coast of Africa, but beside her name it says St Johns, Canada. She is a Zoo Supervisor.

A person of the same name made at least ten voyages from New York to the UK. When I opened up two of these, she was now a Stewardess, and I think she was probably a Stewardess on all the New York to UK voyages.

This is the same Muriel F. Mottershead. Born in the UK, she lived and worked at the family run
Chester Zoo. After the war, she worked on ocean liners before emigrating to New Zealand in 1956.
