I'm still struggling for information on Phillip Penrose Commins, who married Blanche de Warrenne Waller in Sydney on 21-Feb-1900. Blanche de Warrenne Commins was resident in Gisborne, New Zealand from 1919 and had already been widowed at that time. She remarried a civil engineer, John Alexander McDonald and they continued to live in Gisborne. Her second husband died between 1928 and 1931. Blanche died in Gisborne on 16-Oct-1941 (aged 67).

Did the Commins family come from New Zealand? Or did they originate from co.Upper Tipperary in Ireland, where the Waller's had resided until the 1840s?
