Thank you all for your interest and information regarding William Joseph Garrett and wife Janet Duff nee Thomson.... However, there has been nothing to confirm where this man was born, thus his identity before his marriage.... As I don't live in New Zealand, would it be possible for someone to check the INTENTION TO MARRY records at the NZ ARCHIVES for this couple. It has been suggested that his place of birth may be on this record..... MARRIAGE - JANET DUFF THOMSON to WILLIAM JOSEPH GARRETT 1934 They lived in Nelson after their Marriage....his occupation Carpenter......birth 1896. TIA Robyn Australia

Hi Robyn , Have you explored the NZ website 'Papers Past' ? eg here is mention of the marriage of the second daughter of a W.J.

Enquiry today, for VAD nurses WW1 who assisted around Wairarapa area, Carterton/Masterton after Flu 1918. One is the surname of Wallis which is both Greytown and Carterton family names. Have a photograph of 4 ladies, one is Penelope Margaret Wallis. Born 1888. known as Maggie married Gershom Thomas. Another lady is the second wife of Henry Wallis (son of Philip Wallis) then two other ladies family are trying to find names.. I just wondered if any Wallis family member knew of friends who maybe in this picture.. hard when you cant see it!! But maybe someone knows something. Wallis family goes back to Arnold Wallis, I have the recent published books on this family, the lady who just telephoned me and emailed me the photograph mentioned about a VAD book, is there one please, I have emailed Sherayl who did the book on NZ Military Nurses as well, have her book in front of me at present.. Keep smiling. maybe lucky and find something out.. Thanks Adele Clareville

Another site is National Archives at http://www.naa.gov.au which may have a record of what you are hoping to find. Some records are digitised and free to download.
