I'm interested in finding out about my Australian connection through my Grandfather.

Question

Would like to know more about my Grandfather on my Mothers side of the family. There was a mention that he was from Wagga Wagga and came to New Zealand and eventually married Christie Mallock.

Edwin (Ted) Pollock was a terrific Grandfather and spent many a good holiday at the house in Church st, Green Island, Dunedin.

They had two children, Sandra (my Mother who is diseased) and Martin who is still living in Dunedin.
