Descendants of Annette Matilda FURBY

#Post
1

I am looking for descendants of Annette Matilda Furby (nee Welch). b1895-1942
She was married to Edward Harold Ambrose Furby.(d 1962)
They had 2 children - Eileen Daphne b 1920 and Edward George Frederick b 1918.
Annette is the sister of Gladys Maud Robinson (Bullivant) nee Welch who is my husbands maternal birth grandmother.

I am hoping to find more about Gladys through the descendants of Annette. So far I can't find them in my searching.

Annette and Gladys were born in Chester and emigrated (separately) to NZ around 1918-22.
Interesting article in Papers Past about Annette and Edward.

Thank you so much! This is amazing!
I have googled Marilyn and found she was at Santa Rosa High in 1964, so will try and follow this up!
Thanks again, NAT
