I am trying to trace descendants of Millicent Jane Harris (nee) Holford born 1885 at Lydney Gloucestershire. Millicent married Fred Harris and emigrated to Oriental Bay, Wellington, New Zealand. Fred was the Station Master (?) at the railway station Wellington just after WW2. They had two daughters, Thelma & Joyce. Joyce married Leslie(?) and they had a son named Duncan.

Can anyone help me fill in the gaps?

Thelma married Leon Fowler in Wellington, New Zealand and I am their son. Born in 1956. I now live in West Sussex.
A slight correction that the son of Joyce and Leslie Buckland is Bruce.

Delighted to hear from any relatives on this forum

Wow, that was a quick response! Yes Slowhands they are all the family in question. I am particularly grateful for the 1901 information, it's filled a couple of gaps. Thanks again.
