Death of Walter Alexander Brenssell
BRENSSELL.—On December 2 at Stafford street, Dunedin, Walter Alexander, Seventh son of William Brenssell, Outram (late of Moa Flat); aged 3 years 10 months. Deeply regretted.
Otago Daily Times, Issue 18110, 4 December 1920.
Elizabeth's death notice:
BRENSSELL.—At Outram, on October 14, 1922, Elizabeth, beloved wife of William Brenssell; aged 37 years. Private interment.—Robert Campbell and Son, undertakers, Mosgiel.
Otago Daily Times, Issue 18686, 16 October 1922.
There was an inquest held into her death-
Otago Daily Times, Issue 18687, 17 October 1922
None of the above gives any clue to Elizabeth's parents, but if you request her death or marriage cert from BDM you might get the info you are after?
There doesn't seem to be any matching records for an Elizabeth Sproule born around 1885-1890 in NZ.
