There are a few Symon entries in that region in the phone book.

Have you got these?
Are you searching for descendants of the Ilene and Alfred Symon rather than ancestors?

Looks like the Symon family may have been in Oamaru?

Shanreagh, that is terrific, yes it is the descendants and know Ilene and Alfred married in Oamaru in 1933 and, I think had a son and a daughter. I had an idea Ilene's mother was Bella Thompson who was married to Robert C Houston? Any advance on that? You have been very helpful and I appreciate it very much. thank you

Her name was Isabella, so records may not show as Bella. I will have a look for a marriage for her with R C Houston.....

No mobile numbers. We will find out what we can and put it up here and that way if there are others then they can also find the information here.
