New Zealand Births, Deaths and Marriages Historical Records — Death Search Registration No 1975/43320 Primary

New Zealand Births, Deaths and Marriages Historical Records — Death Search · Department of Internal Affairs (Te Tari Taiwhenua)

For “Died” 12 SEP 1975 of Elma May Hague

Registration Number | Family Name | Given Name(s) | Date of Birth/Age at Death — 1975/43320 | Tolley | Elma May | 14 October 1916

Searched dsur=Tolley dfirst=Elma ddate 1973-1977; confirmed unique via a full 1970-1980 dsur=Tolley sweep (15 rows) — only one Elma May Tolley death nationally that decade. Given names + married surname + death year all match the tree's existing (independently precise) death date '12 SEP 1975' exactly. CONTRADICTION, NOT ACTED ON: this row's own DOB field '14 October 1916' conflicts with the tree's uncited birth date '4 OCT 1914' (event 7421). Per fill-nulls/overwrite-only-on-quoted-contradiction, birthDate is left unchanged; a human should decide which (if either) date is right.
