Biographical information

    • NOK Mrs S B Hancox (Wife), Hawick, Scotland AWMM
    • I have information informing me that an aunt of mine named Stella m.s Bird married Spencer Milner Hancox c.1909, her name then became Stella Isabella (Bird) Wyndrum. I see your records show an SB Hancox as wife and NOK for Spencer. Do you have her Christian names? Public - Robert Alexander - 2 December 2024 - Stella later married my maternal great-grandfather and is buried beside him at Purewal Cemetery. My sources include NZSG records, on-line searches, NZ Nat Library Papers Past and The Wilson Collection.
