Hi Adele At the Pyes Pa cemetery, where I am a volunteer, if ashes are buried they are classed as a burial. When I questioned the practice I was told that they is how they do things.

Apologies - meant to send to the list as well :-) In my experience, that is the way Ancestry has always handled corrections - showing them as a comment. My early corrections of some census transcriptions handled in the same manner. FreeBMD generally shows corrections in a similar manner as well. I guess we're fortunate that DIA seem to correct the database entry so that the corrected name shows in a query (Oh to have place names and the ability for wildcard searching though). I haven't had too much spare time to browse this collection but do these errors look like the result of an OCR operation? The place name errors can't have come from the original fiche entries as prior to 1956 they weren't there. My own entry shows I was registered in NZ rather than my place of birth. As there don't seem to be images attached to the entries (at least not when I looked), we should, as a matter of course, be checking the fiche ourselves, else we're looking at a transcription of a transcription!

Very relevant indeed Ray... I’m always picking up discrepancies on many sites that I use, not just ancestry... cemetery databases are shocking and NZ Dept Internal Affairs historical BDM indexes... always writing to these sites to advise... in fact with some i do a spread sheet and send! Yes some are ‘informant’ errors but it is good for them to be noted. I do much research on grave photos I take, not just family research and also am volunteer researcher for a cemetery group Trust so find high percentages of errors.

Hi all I have watched the various comments with some amusement I must admit I can't speak for how the errors came about but presumably by some sort of mapping table error But would just point out the index is just that, an *index* and it is a *transcript* Yes it should be as accurate at least as the transcript it was derived from but like many large databases, human error creeps in On Patsys original question, how to get it corrected As others have said you use add alternate information (found from the transcript on most Ancestry databases) In this case you can add a change to Name, Birth year or Birth place You can also add the reason for the additional information The benefits of such a system are several, it updates the database for future researchers (and yourself), it leaves the original in place (not all added information is correct), the added/alternative information will be added to the main searchable database in usually about 14 days, thereon either will come up in a search One major benefit of adding corrections is that your user id is linked to it, any future researcher finding the correction will be able to contact you and perhaps make a link which may have otherwise been missed I just tested one or two entries on Ancestry, which came up where I expected them to be, I then tried the Government indexes, woefully clunky though they are, I found the entries which added the parents names (in this case births) So use the searchable indexes of both, whilst not perfect the Ancestry database is a whole lot quicker, but use them for what they are, a guide to further research required What would you rather have, no indexes at all?

Hello Everyone, I cannot thank you all enough, for the wonderful interest and help I've received from many on this List over the past very few days regarding William Joseph Garrett, Carpenter of Nelson and his Family and their history. I have responded to each email personally, but thought an update of Thanks to all, must be given at this time. I am still without the piece of the puzzle stating just where WILLIAM JOSEPH GARRETT was born in 1896 or indeed who his parents were......however, we are now down this Family's history line to his daughter ELIZABETH FLORENCE McGREGOR who married a Scot, MENZIES RISK MCGREGOR and was found living in Phillipstown, Christchurch for many years....up to 1981. As well a son, PETER JOSEPH THOMSON McGREGOR was living with them in later Rolls. The home was sold a few years ago, so the lead has ended. I still have emails out to different Funeral Homes and the RSA, so my investigations still have a little hope of finding my missing puzzle. Cheers for now, Robyn Australia

Hi Robyn In my message earlier today I wondered if Elizabeth Florence GARRETT may have married by the time of the 1963 electoral rolls, and that her mother Janet Duff GARRETT some time between 1963 and 1969, possibly to a RUTHVEN. I went down to our genealogy rooms this morning, and found that both hunches were right :-) Elizabeth married in 1959, her mother in 1967. I'll post the details in a private message. I think that Janet RUTHVEN's death notice is likely to be the best source of information. She died on Wednesday 24 April 1991. I would expect her death notice to be in Wellington and Christchurch - and possibly Nelson - papers. I'll try to remember to look in Christchurch papers sometime soon. Other folk may offer to look in those other papers. As for the origins of William Joseph GARRETT, hopefully someone will look for an obituary in a Nelson paper after his death on 4 April 1957. Hope this helps Graham Hoult Kirwee. -----Original Message----- On Wed, 28 May 2014 "Robyn Clarke" <rsclarke@bigpond.com> messaged Subject: [nz] GARRETT Family Island Bay Wellington >Hello List, I'm trying to help a friend find a family who I found in NELSON from 1935 >and then in Island Bay Wellington in 1957 etc. WILLIAM JOSEPH GARRETT of Nelson, Carpenter married to JANET DUFF ?
