I have been advised that due to some technical problems the FamNet February newsletter has been delayed, and has turned into a February-March Newsletter. It still hasn't entirely been finalised, but the current draft including my latest article is available here. http://www.famnet.org.nz/newsletters/FamNet/March_2015/Newsletter.htm Gail Riddell

Hi Jan: Marcantelli is a reasonably distinctive surname, and a search of the Registrar-Generals historic website for the full range of historic dates from 1840 will find a number of entries (for deaths, search to 2015, though recent deaths will be those over 80y old only). Leo Marcantelli married Neta Proud in 1948. There was an Australian-born WWI veteran Victor Marcantelli, NZEF No 18823, who can be found on Archives Archway and the Auckland War Memorial Museum Cenotaph database with a surname search. Yours, John Wilson Subject: [nz] Marcantelli >A young man I know asked my to find out more about his family, with this >surname. He think his great grandfather was a Leo Marcantelli, and his >grandfather a Barry Marcantelli, the young man is from Timaru. >

A young man I know asked my to find out more about his family, with this surname. He think his great grandfather was a Leo Marcantelli, and his grandfather a Barry Marcantelli, the young man is from Timaru. Has anyone come across this name? Thank you Regards Jan Sent from Windows Mail

Wondering if I could get some help in tracing the birth of Ina (Alexandrina) Macaulay, my late Aunt. My uncle William Morgan married Ina Macaulay (name on marriage printout) in Wellington Registry Office on 15 June 1932. It stated that she was from Glasgow in Scotland and the daughter of Samuel Macaulay (undertaker) and Elizabeth Macaulay (nee Ballantye), also stating that she was awarded a decree absolute divorce on 13 June 1928 for a prior marriage. My uncle perished in WW2 and Ina later married Donald MacKenzie (sometimes written as McKenzie) in 1943. We have her arriving into New Zealand on 12 June 1930 aboard the Rangitane from Southampton. Her death is recorded at Karori Crematorium 29 October 1970 where she is named as Alexandrina Ballantyne McKenzie. I am a little confused about her real full name as I can't locate her birth and was wondering whether someone could possibly locate the birth record and also the name of the first marriage prior to William Morgan which had the decree absolute. I believe she was born in 1905/6 but cannot be absolutely certain as to which. She is proving rather elusive. Many thanks if someone could steer me in the right direction, Bill

Where is Richard Ansell Hayter buried? He lived in CHCH and died in 1907. Thanks. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzbound/ih.htm#HAYTER

Hi List, I wish to thank all those persons who responded to my query about obtaining a 2012 Will. I was seeking this information for a person who is related to me through marriage and therefore is not blood related to me. Their father died in 2012, and they knew he had a will, and now they would like to get a copy of it. I am not in a position to answer the questions that several of you asked. I have forwarded on your messages to the person concerned. Thanks again Ron

Hello All I have photographed the gravestones at St Mary's Halswell, do email me for a copy of any of the names. Beverley Evans Christchurch NZ http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/Gravestone.Photos/Halswell.St.Marys.gravestone.photos.html -- http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ashleigh/ transcriber of old newspapers. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

Hi Ron: For a 2012 death the will may have been probated through the Wellington Supreme Court and if so the will would still be held by the court, But wills do not have to be probated through a court unless over a certain value or if real property (i.e. land) involved, or if the deceased was intestate i.e. no valid will. Wills were generally probated through the nearest Supreme Court, and in the 19th and early 20th century to c1906 or so through some lower courts (e.g. Invercargill High Court or various Magistrates Courts eg Lawrence, Naseby, Oamaru and Patea). Up to about 1950 wills and intestate estates handled by the Public Trust went through the Wellington Supreme Court. Archives New Zealand holds court records relating to wills or intestate estates up to the early 1990s from various courts at all four offices, although not all are listed by name on Archway. For Wellington (Agency AAOM) the records seem to end atbout 1994 to 1996.The Wellington Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists indexed several series of court records held at Wellington from the original "ledger" books in the Register Room for up to about 1980. See Archices Research Guide No 2, Personal Identity pages 8 to 11. http://archives.govt.nz/research/guides Yours, John Wilson > > Can SKS tell me where I could get copy of a will. > > The person I would like to get a copy of, died in 2012 in Wellington. >

My first port of call would be archives NZ. Check archway. http://archway.archives.govt.nz/. Happy hunting Bill --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

Hi List, Rather quite. Can SKS tell me where I could get copy of a will. The person I would like to get a copy of, died in 2012 in Wellington. Cheers Ron

Seeking vessel and arrival details for THOMAS WILLIAM PROSSER, c, 1905, New Plymouth or Wanganui. Also his son George Frederick Prosser arrived NZ approx. 1894. They were from Newcastle on Tyne and believed left from London. Any advice appreciated. Les H., Napier.

Ron .........depends whether Probate was granted - do you know this ?? Wills are private documents, unless they go to Probate- then they become public + accessible The relevant Court for Probate application is the nearest one to where the deceased lived at the time of death - at least I think this was the rule in 2012 (as it has sine changed - all wills now go to Wellington for Probate) RegardsStephen //// On Sunday, 8 March 2015 10:14 AM, Ravenstone via <new-zealand@rootsweb.com> wrote:   Hi List, Rather quite.

I checked with my brother-in-law who lives in Wanganui and received the following reply: The Central Hotel was in St Hill St between Ingestre St and Guyton St. just up from the RSA. It was a private hotel e.g. not licensed. Paddy

In Victoria the H would mean a later re registration for restored vehicles. Historic.

Hello, Maybe if you contact a museum like MOTAT, or the Richardson Group Truck museum in Invercargill, they may be able to answer your questions. Re the letter H. These days Heavy trucks and trailers have a large H front and rear, which shows that they are able to cart up to 50 tonnes of weight. The H mentioned from the 1930's may define a Licensing year maybe. Regards Alister Gould Invercargill
