Marie - I have tried the search trees option but i do not know where he was born to narrow it down and if his name was "robert norris" then it is a mine field of search results :-S

Ann - The letter he sent was from his time in the 2nd world war (the picture has the NZ cap badge on). Now i would love to say he might have been the same age as my great aunt which would make him born around 1914 but her siblings were all born between 1913 and 1921 so he could be older of younger than those date ranges.

Sue, have you done a "Search Trees" (3rd from the left on menu above) to see if anyone on GR has him in their tree?

I am looking for anyone in New Zealand that has this ancestor as a close relative.

I have no idea if he is related to me in some way shape or form but it would be nice to find out by any links to other family ancestors they may know of. What i do know is we have a curious letter from him to my great-aunt. He is not her husband, His last name was not her Maiden name. No-one in our living family can place his name. But it would seem he knew quite a bit about my great-aunt and must have been close somehow.

I do not know when he was born, I do not know how old he was in the picture we have of him. I'm afraid all i know is Bob Norris (guessing short for Robert but i've been proved wrong before) - New Zealand.

I would dearly love to take him out of the ever growing "unsolved mystery" pile me and my mother are generating since the death of the last elder in our family (we are now wishing we'd found this stuff about 10 years before she went senile and parted from this earth, but that's the way the cookie crumbles i guess) :-S
