.... in case it helps ...the 'National Library of NZ' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service..they will check their many records including electoral rolls (past & present) and newspaper death notices (date of death would help). They have been very helpful. ...Valerie (WAus)

Please, please, please, where do I go from here?

Sandra Report 28 May 2010 11:46

I have emailed both the Funeral Directors about these deaths, the second one replied with details but its not my William and the first one which I think is mine said " Unfortunately we no longer have full records going back to 1983 so we are unable to help you with your search for William Keenan."
Where do I go from here, any suggestions please?

Hi Sandra,

Sorry I couldn't find any Williams in either the Navy or Army only other Keenans. Maybe someone else might be able to help you there.

Hi Gael,
My mum thought he was in the Army but her cousin thought he was in the Navy.

Sandra,

You said that William was in the Forces. What was he doing during that time?

Sandra

Sandra Report 12 May 2010 13:43

Agewise, I think it may be the first one.

Sandra

Sandra Report 12 May 2010 13:39

Gael, as far as my mum knows, he never married.

Sandra

Sandra Report 12 May 2010 13:38

Thank you you again.
