Ivan Veza AKA Weza

John Weza was the name when naturalised on 28/6/1922 and this name was used on all parliamentary rolls. In 1922 he was a gumworker for KGELtd Red Hill, Te Kopuru, Kaipara. In 1928 and 1935 and other years, he is a gardener, Labourer, farmer in Kumeu.
In 1969 John is a pensioner living at 166 Pt Chevalier Rd Auckland. Most of his working life was in Kumeu and there is a Veza Rd in Kumeu.
Contemplating the reason for the name change:
1. There were 3 Ivan Veza's about the same age in NZ. John Weza wanted to be different.
2. Weza may have been a clerical copying error. The cursive handwriting of the day could have made V look like a W. It is hard to know what the thinking was in 1922.

John Weza was used on official documents. John Weza is on his headstone. Cemetery records have named him as John Weza and Ivan Veza.
