Hi Karen, I don't know which Index you got the year of the marriage and Index number from but this is what they have online at http://bdmhistoricalrecords.identityservices.govt.nz/Search/Search.aspx?Path=%2fqueryEntry.m%3ftype%3dmarriages#SearchResults 1851/836 Mary Walker, but you are correct in that there are no parents names given. As Wendy said, that does not mean the information will not be on the certificate when you purchase it, but then again, Murphy is alive and well.........{;-) Good luck, Colin. ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendy Howard To: genanz@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 2:13 PM Subject: Re: New Zealand birth certificates Hi Karen, "I am looking to purchase a birth printout for a Mary Walker. On the index 1850/826 Walker - Mary - Auckland. There does not appear to be any parents details. Can anyone advise why." I can't find it on the web site right at this moment, but simply the parents information was not transcribed for the index for the earlier years. That does not mean that the information won't be on the printout, it only affects the online index. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard *** Please reply to the list/newsgroup *** -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/> ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GENANZ-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
