  W. Rangitikei not found.  Belgrove is found in Nelson area.  The word
  Rangitike is found in Wellington area only as the name of geographical
  location.  Whoops.  I forgot to look it up under WEST Rangitikei.  Possible
  it could still be found.  In any case, there's only one Belgrove, and it is
  in Nelson.  Original place read "W. Rangitikei, Bellgrove, New Zealand."
  Since everything else happened in Wellington, see if it might still be in
  Wellington.
