My apologies for not replying to these messages before. Not sure how I missed them back then.

Thanks Frances, Wayne and Nigel for the information. The Will information has been really useful.

Alison Mona BRIDSON was my Great Aunt. I never met her, but my aunts never mentioned that she married. Thomas Clague CANNELL had a sister Elizabeth who married Edward BRIDSON - hence the Bridson/Cannell connection. And coincidently I also live in NZ
