Clifford Marshall WW11 Service No: 1644, Stationed in Maari Egypt around the 1940s
Clifford Marshall was born 21 March 1913 in Owango, Ruapehu, Wanganui New Zealand. Clifford died in Tauranga New Zealand Jan 21st 2003 in Tauranga, New Zealand. Clifford was cremated and his ashes spread. Could anyone help me find out where his ashes were spread please.
He was single at the time serving in the war, am unsure about this tho, he could have married while on leave?. There is little about him and where he went and served etc while in the war so any information is appreciated.
Clifford married Ina Patricia Bleasel, date unknown. Ina was born in 1916 and died in Rowe, in 1957 S.A. and is buried in the Wilmington Cemetery, Frome South Australia.
Cliffords parents were John Boyd Marshal and Clara Elizabeth Marshall nee: Fogarty. Clifford was one of 10 children.
Any information about either Clifford or Ina is appreciated.
To my knowledge I can find only 2 children they had.
John Cyril James Born 1942 and George Born 1944.
Both appear living but I cant find any information about their whereabouts and I would be ever so greatful and happy to find them. I have no information either about if they married or to whom if they did marry
If anyone can help with any of the above information Ive given please contact me.
Regards
Lori Marshall (CLifford was my Gr Uncle).

Hi there, You probably already know this information?
Taken from Archives New Zealand
John Boyd Marshall was born in Launceston, Tasmania. He married 1st Clara Fogarty and 2nd Frances Donaldson a widow from Waiuku - no children from this second marriage.
John Boyd died 4 Jan 1940. He was killed at a level crossing when his car was hit by a train.
Named in John Boyd's will are his children (who you already know about). Using Archive NZ I traced the the executor of his 1940 will and probate - his son, John Thomas Wilson Marshall who died in 1975. JTW Marshall has a daughter named in his will as Clara McFarlane of Tauranga, married woman.
Clara McFarlane's family may be able to help you if you can track them down? There is a Clara McFarlane buried at Pyes Pa Cemetery, Tauranga. Born 11/04/1923, died 07/09/2011, aged 88 years. There is a NZ Herald newspaper death notice for Clara - if you google her name you'll see it along with a list of her children etc.

Died: 21 January 2003, aged 89 years.
