and her death cert confirms her parents as John Lowe, Eliza  Fuller) 

QUOTE
One thing I do find a little odd, is that even after securing her death cert (she died Daisy Mills) we have been unable to find her body!
Her husband married afterwards and his second wife is buried alongside him in Papakura... but no Daisy.

At least having her Mothers name from the school records may give me enough information to see if she may be buried with her OWN family .. the Lows.

There was same chatter in the family that Daisy and her last husband may not have been 'together' at the time of her death... certainly my grandfather (her last son) was under the impression that she died more or less at his birth, where in fact is was 3 years later.

Further confusion arrives from my father's recollections that in 1906, when Euphemia Glass married, Jack Low, she was assisted in her Elopement by Daisy Strong which is apparently confirmed by the marriage cert which shows a Daisy E.? Strong as witness.
My father thought Daisy was married at the same time, NZ BMD has a Daisy Evelyn Strong born 1881 , but was not married till September 1907 to Amos william Moore
