Not sure what/who you are actually hoping to find - but the 'National Library of NZ' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service -they will check their records including electoral rolls (past & present) and possibly newspaper death notices.

Odd, this is the only death I can see for a Herbert Waters:

New Zealand Cemetery Records
Name: Herbert Waters
Birth Date: abt 1854
Death Age: 89
Death Date: 30 Dec 1943
Burial Place: Wairarapa, New Zealand
Cemetery: Clareville

The headstone inscription also includes Ann Eliza Waters died 12 Jul 1929.

Dawn, might you have their death years mixed up in your opening post?

You need to be specific about what you're trying to find out and what information you already have. That helps us to help you.

Lots of information available on him but rather than churn it all out will wait for Dawn's confirmation of what she wants.
