Hello again Leo Many thanks for the assurance. It points to the family story being correct - that the WS I'm looking for married in England. Will check out there. I had had the 533 Ref No as a possible for him. Cheers Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hello Maurice Many thanks for the marriage - although wrong wife, it clears up a bit of a mystery. The marriage to right wife WASN'T in NZ! Cheers Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hi Pam, The William Stevens I sent you is the only one in that year, there are none in 1893 at all and yes there are plenty of men in the index under that name. cheers Leo.

Hello Leo Many thanks for your reply. I'll have to check it up - the wife isn't who I was expecting! I guess 'William STEVENS' is a fairly common name. Such a pity that a place isn't given in NZ marriages indexes. Cheers. Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hello Listers Can anyone point me in the right direction for the following information please? Some early marriages of family members from Jacob's River (Riverton) took place in the Mission House on Ruapuke Island in Foveaux Strait, NZ. My great-grandparents, Theophilus DANIEL and Elizabeth née STEVENS, were married there in 1853, with at least one other couple in 1854. As the Mission House is mentioned, rather than the church, I'm guessing that the church had not then been built. I found, some years ago, a photo of the Lutheran Church on Ruapuke. What I'm wondering is this: when was it built. When I'm writing small family stories, for those 'pre-photos', I put in photos of relevant churches, but don't want to add the Lutheran Church on Ruapuke for 1853 and 1854 marriages if it hadn't then been built Is anyone able to help please? Many thanks. Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia
