Hi, I thought that you would like to know of a family of gellings that live in New Zealand and might know the person that you are talking about. My mother comes from New Zealand and her father is a Gelling. He hasn't lived there all of his life though. I think that he moved from the Isle of Man but I am not the expert. I do know however that he does know a lot about our family and so may know about this Thelma person. If you e-mail me then my mum can send any questions that you have onto my granda and see if he knows who you are talking about. Also, if you can I would like to know a bit about my family background as when I am older, I am planning to research my background extensively and make a family tree. If you can give me any info then I would be very grateful. P.S I am only 16 so I don't know a lot about my family yet but it is a subject that has always interested me. So if you e-mail me, it is the same address as the rest of my family and so you can e-mail us all. I hope that we can be of some help.
Yours Sincerely
Alanah Gelling
