Searching for information on the parents of Colin Robert Nind, from New Zealand.

Question

Colin was born 6 May, 1932 and died in 1980 at Alexandra Park in Auckland, NZ. He was married to Margaret Lorraine Renwick (1937 - 1989) from NZ. Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

Answer 1

There is a Colin Robert Nind of Ophir who provides sureties on behalf of the mother of Lyall Russell Nind in this probate record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKYR-TPYK

He is possibly the brother or close relation of Lyall? 

Comments

Harold Albert Nind and Harriet Myrtle Penglase married in 1925 and divorced in 1940 so the dates fit. NZ BDM marriage registration no. 1925/6432 and divorce in newspaper at https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/ODT19401024.2.111

Thank you so much Paula! This is the exact connection that I'm looking for. Harriet Myrtle's divorce makes perfect sense now as to where the McEwan family name fits in to the family tree. Thank you.

There is a Nind from Australia that might fit, but can’t find if it fits. If this is him, he has quite a war service record
