Just trying to find a marriage date and possible surname of Robert Thomas Rand's 2nd wife. I have a burial date for her, 21/01/1964 in Wanganui, New Zealand. She was 77yrs old. They would have married sometime from late 1953 on in New Zealand. Together they lived in Palmerston North New Zealand. Robert died in 1973. I have no idea where she was born.
Does anyone have her in their tree :-) I would love to be able to finish this part of my tree. :-)

Researching:
Titcombe, Davies, Fitt, Galloway, Shailer, Richardson, Lee, Procter, Rand, Moore, Hazell Familes. New Zealand, Australia, England, Scotland and Wales.

They married sometime between 1954 and 1957 I think. She is not on the 1954 Electoral Role but is on the 1957. Just narrows it down a bit.

Thanks all for your help. I have found her through a message board in NZ.
RAND Robert Thomas married GEISSLER Edith May in 1957. This was her second marriage too. Her first marriage was to Ignaz GEISSLER and they lived in Wanganui NZ. Her maiden name was Gribble and she was born in Australia.
This information may also help others.

Thank you alviegal, I am not a member of ancestry so hadn't been able to check there. I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me as I now have a birth date for her and her birth place. I had tried to find this on BDM in Australia but hadn't got far. I am sure learning a lot from this exercise.
Thank you again :-)
