  • Notes 

    • Children

      Hilda Eunice Temperton's 1968 death notice lists the following twelve children: Trevor (Hamilton), Betty (Mrs B LEADER), Henry, Norvall (Hastings), Margaret (Mrs K CHURCH), George (Foxton), Valerie (Mrs R McIntosh, Hastings), John (Sydney), Arthur, Roy (Hastings), Judith (Mrs G STREET), and Colin (deceased). I added the commas between Henry and Norvall and between Arthur and Roy. Based on 1963 and 1969 electoral rolls, Betty, Henry, Margaret, Arthur and Judith were all living in Palmerston North in 1968 and so did not have their residence location mentioned.

      In August 2023, New Zealand Births, Deaths & Marriages Online, listed the following 11 children for Hilda Temperton with the year of registration:

      • 1917 Trevor Roland

      • 1917 Iris

      • 1918 Sadie

      • 1921 Norval

      • 1923 Eric Ardern

      • 1925 Peggy

      • 1926 George

      • 1928 Valerie

      • 1930 Colin

      • 1933 Arthur Alexander

      • 1937 Roy


      Eric Hugh Temperton is listed as the father of all the above children, except for Sadie. Sadie is shown in the birth register as the daughter of Hilda Eunice Temperton with her father unrecorded. Eric Temperton was overseas with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force when Sadie was conceived. Sadie used a different surname when she married Leon Ryde in 1941, so presumably she was adopted.

      Iris used the name Betty Iris when she married Albert Douglas LEADER in 1946 and when she registered on the electoral rolls.

      Eric Ardern used the name Eric when he married Norah Annie Teresa FEEHAM in 1947 and when he registered on the electoral rolls. His name is not among the children listed on the death notice.

      Peggy used the name Margaret when she married Kevin Thomas CHURCH in 1945 and when she registered on the electoral rolls. She was also known as Peg as indicated on her death notice.

      George used the name George when he married Dawn Lorraine THOMPSON in 1948, but Peter George when he registered on the electoral rolls.

      The other births listed above used the names their births were registered with, that is Trevor Roland, Norval, Valerie, Colin, Arthur Alexander and Roy.

      Children listed in Hilda's death notice but not in the online birth register are: Henry, John and Judy. Judith Ann Temperton, born in 1943, will presumably also be listed after 9 Dec 2023. The website only lists the birth of a deceased person who died 50 years ago or more or who was born 80 years ago or more.

      Henry, born 1920 had his birth registered in Taihape according to ancestry.com New Zealand Birth Index, 1840-1950. It is not clear why his birth registration is missing from the online registers.

      John, mentioned in Hilda's death notice but not in the online register, married Marlene Isobel Kathleen Mabel FISHER in 1954, divorced her in 1958, and moved to Australia as indicated by Hilda's death notice. He possibly died in Australia, but no record of death has been located. If he married at age 20 he would have been born about 1934. John Temperton who died at Bulls in 2016 was not in the family, based on his death notice (his sibblings were Ray, Phillip, Shirley and Ian).

      It was concluded that the 13 children in the family of Hilda Eunice and Eric Hugh Temperton with birth year were:

      • 1915 Trevor Roland

      • 1916 Iris, subsequently Betty Iris

      • 1920 Henry Hugh

      • 1921 Norval

      • 1923 Eric Ardern, subsequently Eric

      • 1925 Peggy, subsequently Margaret

      • 1926 George, subsequently Peter George

      • 1928 Valerie

      • 1930 Colin

      • 1933 Arthur Alexander

      • abt 1934 John

      • 1937 Roy

      • 1943 Judith Ann
