long lost family - possibly in Perth - thread moved from Nz to Oz forum
 

Hi trying to trace Robin Nunn who lived in Henderson, Auckland in the 70's. Girlfriend was Wendy Home. I am her son desparetly trying to find her before its too late.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Hi dom2000nic.

To be clear. Wendy Home is your birth Mum. Robin Nunn is not your Dad?

Also, did they emigrate to NZ or were/are they NZers ?

Approx ages would help also.

We will all try to help if we can. No promises though.

Are you aware that the Salvation Army has a family tracing service. ( click the link).
I've had to use this service to trace my brother ----twice ! They will not give you the person's details though. They will leave it up to the person to make contact if they wish.

For everyone else. I have run this past BE admin and it is fine.

Wendy Home born Cutler is my birth mum, she was originally from Bournemouth England and emmigrated with my father in the early 70's. They split up in1976 and nobody has heard frim her since, but knew she was seeing Robin (Bob) Nunn, also from England. She would be 66 years old. She has a twin sister & 4 sons who are desparate to find her. Tried salvation army, but no luck. Thanks for any help

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Do you know where she emigrated to - ie the town? What's her DOB?

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

birthday January 2 1947. Last known location Henderson, Auckland

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Hi Dom.

I'm originally from Bournemouth also. Still have friends there.

Does your birth Mum have any middle names please?

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Hi. Her full name was Wendy Georgina Lynne Home. Maiden name Cutler.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

In 1978 she was living with her husband per the electoral for Te Atatu which is near Henderson I believe.

Neither of them appear on the 1981 NZ electoral rolls.

A Robin Nunn does not appear on the New Zealand electoral rolls for either of those years 1978 or 1981 which would indicate that he was not an NZ resident. Whereas the Home's were.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Hi, don't know how helpful this is, but a person by the name of Wendy G L Cutter married a man with the surname of [I]HOLME[I] in Poole, Dorset in 1965, according to Ancestry.com.

I also had a looked at the New Zealand electoral rolls under Wendy Holme, but didn't find anything. I only found what Bevs found, which is the listing under the surname HOME.

I couldn't find anything further, apart from Wendy Cutter's birth register listing.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

thanks for your help, its like she's dissappeared or does'nt want to be found. I have'nt seen her since a week before my 2nd birthday & I'm 40 this year so I know times running out.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

I sent you a BE private message.

Will keep digging around.

Hi
This charity might be worth contacting http://www.missingpeople.org.uk/
Good luck with your search

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

True. She may well not be interested at all in being found.

Or she may not know she is being searched for , despite Salvation Army.

Or feel too ashamed to make any contact.

Or not wish to disrupt lives.

She may have a new family who do not know about the old family.

Have been forbidden by her ex husband to make any contact.

Been watching from afar.

Or sadly, deceased.

So many reasons.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

I don't know if it's still running but have you tried that TV programme, Long Lost Family? Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Her twin sister has contacted this program. Thankyou

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

I wonder whether it's worth extending your search to Australia, assuming you haven't already. Good luck with your searches - let us know how you get on.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Not any potential candidates in the New Zealand white pages?

Google turns up no clues? That legacy.com site?

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

There may be one possible viable contact in the NZ white pages.

Of course it is possible the actual man & woman in question did move onto Australia , or back to the UK.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

It has to be worth a try in a small country like this.

Worth checking other public records as well. Also ex-employers, I'm sure given the situation they could ask a few old timers and see if anyone could pass on a letter (obviously they are going to be guarded on privacy and not share information).

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

I'm thinking so too. I just wanted to check summat first.



edit here.....

Actually thank you Charismatic. :wub: As it was you that posted, it prompted me to rethink how to access a certain piece of public record * So, I thought a little outside of the box as it were.

* Not all libraries and depositories hold nationwide records. Some only have local or area specific records.

I have confirmation now and so will pass this on to Dominic.

Note: This is not a direct contact to those named above but I am hoping that this person will be amenable to sharing any information they may have.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Hopefully it works out or you'll have to go a new direction.

Chances are anyone who lives here banks with one of the big four, they'd probably post on a letter as well.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Still looking, but might have found a lead in Kalbarri, Australia.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

Hi there.

Have checked.

I have sent you a PM.

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

There's a Wendy home on Facebook that must be a kiwi as they like food in a minute. I found my birth mother on facebook so it is possible!! Good luck

re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

THere's also a Wendy Home in Sydney with links to Auckland

Re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

As the focus has now shifted to Perth , Australia, I am moving this thread to the Oz forum with the Oz mods blessings. Thanks guys.

Re: long lost family - possibly in Perth
 

I'm not sure if you're still looking, but I may have found information on a Robin Nunn in Kalbarri Western Australia. PM me if you would like what I've got (can't post on a public forum)

Re: long lost family - possibly in Perth - thread moved from Nz to Oz forum
 

***NEW INFORMATION*** Wendy Georgina Lynne, last name known as Cutler, Nunn or Home, last seen in Willetton, Perth W A. In 1980, by her then partner Robin Nunn in Kalbarri.
Any information greatly appreciated.

Re: long lost family - possibly in Perth - thread moved from Nz to Oz forum
 

There is no Wendy Home or Wendy Nunn in Willetton, however White Pages does show a W & C Cutler in Brentwood which isn't far from Willetton.
