Hi Calvin Berg, I too am seeking information on the same family. I donât even know where you fit at present. I am descended from James Horniblow via his second daughter Eliza who married William Crump. The Dann side I still have quite a way to go and so anything you get or have will also be of interest to me. I have managed to piece together the Horniblows but the Dann sector has yet to have quite a bit of material added. Kind regards, John Fisher

Given the vagaries of hand writing - particularly some forms of copperplate, I would go for DROVIN, and Antoine - this last at least I recognise as a French forename. Does he show up in shipping records? (I have several ancestors ex England who must have swum to Australia!).

Hello listers, I've followed this discussion with some interest and wondering if anyone could do a look up for me please. My great great granparents Adam Moore b 1818 Ireland and his wife Charlotte Richardson c 1820 Ireland married at St Matthew's Anglican Church Auckland on 8th Sept 1864. I have a copy of their wedding certificate. I've posted about them before as they departed Tasmania and Victoria for NZ after late 1851. They lived together for about 20 years before marrying. Perhaps the ITM will give me a more definite view of when they arrived in NZ.. I suspect it was circa 1853. Would appreciate any assistance please.

I have recently found an ancestor Francis Jane Plummer who married in 1872 in Thames and in 1877 married Robert Russell Trotter. NZ BDM have her first husband as Antone Drovin. Three children were born Fanny Edridge 1872, Frances Emily Edith, 1874 and Mary Matilda 1875. These children are registered as Dronin, with father as Antime or Antine Fanny died in 1874 at 18 months and the registration was Drouin. Frances Emily Edith (originally known as Drouin) marries Thomas Cole Donkin in 1897 and is registered as Dronin Registered BDM death in 1876 of Antine Dronin aged 33. Council records of death have Auline Dronin NZ Cemetery record has Dronin Antine? bur 27 Aug 1876, 33yrs, p385 pur 30 Oct 1876 by Dronin - Rev Lawlor [Donkin plot] Can anyone help with this confusion?

Seems you’ve been spelling her Christian name as the masculine Francis, and there is no soundex on the NZ records, except when searching them via ancestry.co.uk. She’s obviously female Frances!

Knowing NCC records it is quite likely that June was incorrectly read as Jan. There is a specialist person who does NCC historic cemetery records and she is very good at checking. Send an email to NCC and mark it with attention Trish Kidson and it should all be sorted out for you.

Many thanks everyone regarding ideas and suggestions. I will send an email to the NCC and see what they say, it also seems very likely that her Ashes where Interred with her parents in June rather than Jan I will let you know when I hear back.

Further to the Intentions to Marry notices , they are held in Archives NZ in Wellington for 1856 to 1956 (and a few 1855 notices for Auckland and Otago), though fairly recently access has been restricted to those 80y or more old, with no access to those “non-historic” ie from 1937. As stated the “Length of Residence” referred to the time in the district, not in NZ. Often parties from another district would say “3 days” in district, perhaps a minimum? Age and occupation of the parties was given; sometimes just “of full age” and the bride may not have an occupation. The place of marriage was given, often (19c) a house, and if a minor the name of the parent giving consent though sometimes “no-one in colony to give consent”. Later (20c) the date of becoming a widow/widower/divorcee was often given. There are a few local copies of ITMs held in Archives Wellington and probably also in Auckland, Christchurch & Dunedin. Wellington has a card index of ITMs to 1881, including some where the marriage did not eventuate. For searching post-1881 volumes look for the old marriage folio number rather than the names; see my article in the New Zealand Genealogist of October 2014.

Good Evening Ron While I am not very clever with computers I had a slightly similar problem. We purchased a new computer with Windows 10 and my Version 7 Family Tree Maker was too old to install. I then purchased FTM 2014 from an Australian company and they were very helpful and told me that I could not download my files straight onto the new version but had to install another version using it as a "stepping stone". They very kindly sent me this particular version online and told me how to transfer everything. Unfortunately I can't remember the version they sent me but it may have been 2005. Perhaps you could try contacting the seller of your FTM 2014 and ask for help. The company I dealt with was so helpful and it went in easily. I am sorry I can't be more helpful but perhaps someone else will be able to help you. Kind regards Stella Smith

I had the same happen to me when i down loaded windows 10 had to get a pro. in to help. Now gone to Legacy just the free one until i get used to it, seems very easy to use.

Hi Sue & All: A Guide to 19th century New Zealand artists on NZETX (which says she mainly painted flower studies) says she was Francis Edith Richardson, later wife of Eardley Culley Reynolds of Dunedin, and that she exhibited in Otago from 1883 to 1920, They were married on 23 October 1890; see “Fashionable wedding” at St Peters, Wellington in the Press of 23 October. Both fathers were MPs and became MLCs in the Upper House (Legislative Council). No obvious Nelson connections? The bride was a daughter of the Hon Edward Richardson, MP for Kaiapoi and connected with construction of the Lyttelton Tunnel; and the groom was a son of Hon W H Reynolds ex-MP for Dunedin, who in 1893 was one of two opposition MLCs who foiled “”King Dick” Seddon’s plan to defeat votes for women in the upper house after it had been approved in the lower house (Seddon and brewing interests were opposed to woman’s sufferage as many were prohibitionists.

On hunting on Google we have discovered that she was Frances Edith Richardson who also sometimes painted under her maiden name Frances Edith Reynolds.
