the HELLYERs Channel Islands to Dunedin

Journal by ngairedith

In reply to the query from Fayne on 2 Feb 2011:

... Looking for info on Hellyer family in New Zealand, specifically Alice and Muritai.
Alice is my grandmother on my mother's side, she married Arthur Stephen Ede, I am waiting for their marriage certificate to arrive. I know lots about my father's side of the family, Drummond, but little about Mum's. Supposedly Peter Ustinov is a relation through the Ede side, previously Edenstein. Anything will be helpful - this is all new to me ...
