I am looking after my mum who has dementia but thought that this little anecdote might interest you When me and my brother came to new Zealand in October we went on the trail to find where my mum lived when she was in nz. We found the area she was in and there was an old farmer who we spoke to. He told us his house was built in 1929, our mum was born 1927 and lived there until 1934. At the end of the lane that we found there was what I call a disused abattoir or ice house, my uncle explained why it had gone out of business. Didn't think anymore about it until recently I showed my mum some of the pictures I took of nz. Showed her the pictures from rotorua baths with the bubbling mum and steam and said that is where her dad used to work. Well her response was amazing. She said that she knew nothing about the baths but he worked in the fields and at the end of the road where the animals were dead... She has never mentioned this before. All through my childhood she painted a picture of new Zealand being a big flat open field and she lived on a farm and had no shoes on her feet until they sailed back to England. All she ever said was that her dad worked on the farm and played polo on ponys. I was amazed to find new Zealand had volcanos and mountains.lol Once again thank you to all those that helped me with my research and responded to my pleas.

Does it have a sticker or manufacturers name inside the lid? Mine, a bit smaller than yours, was made by Chatham & Son, Wolverhampton, England, and there are a couple of internet references them.

He lived in South Australia and went, with his parents and most of the siblings, in 1904 and settled in the Martinborough area. Among his possessions, and now in my care, is his wooden trunk and I'm not sure just where it was he made it - NZ or South Australia. It is heavy; 68cm wide x 58cm deep x 48cm high, the interior is unfinished timber and the outer was very aged black matt finish. I has metal latch on the front and two metal side handles. The box has metal strapping top to bottom on from & back and the lid is hinged. I've taken photo's if anyone is interested (cannot post on here). Our family have always referred to this as 'Grandpa Tyler's Black Box' and as youngsters knew that Grandpa always housed his religious books etc in it. Thanks for bringing back memories, Beth (and making me take the photos!). Glenys 10. Metal steamer trunk (aotueka) 11. Re: Metal steamer trunk (Karen Hitchcock) 12.

The inside of my trunk has old newspapers stuck all over the inside so I cannot see any makers marks that may have been inside. But I will check it out and see what I can find.? So far I have only found one other image like it on the internet. I may have to just make a leap of faith and guess that it is circa 1870ish - but if I find anything else out I'll let you guys know.

To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Hi Jonathan email National Archives, Wellington Intention to Marry Notices Archives New Zealand in Wellington holds Registers of Notices of Intention to Marry <http://archives.govt.nz/personal-identity> for the whole of New Zealand for the period 1856-1956 [BDM 20/1-375]. Other offices have some regional registers. A card index to Notices of Intention to Marry in the Wellington Reading Room gives access to Notices in the Registers for the period 1856-1881. The Registers are organised in 3 monthly periods and by place of registry roughly from north to south, but alphabetical within regions. After 1881 researchers need to know the approximate date and the place of marriage.

To: Penne <[email protected]>, new-zealand <[email protected]>, Bob Matthews <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]om> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello Penne & Bob, Thank you for your input. My feeling is that the issue may just stay unresolved. The story goes that a female born NZ Oct 1882 married in 1914 also in NZ. This was easy to prove. However, family lore has it that she was to have married somebody else; but the intended groom died close to the date planned for that wedding. The only fact I have is the lady's full name. Her parents would have been living in the Dunedin area; so it seems relatively safe to assume the wedding would have been in the area. The place of worship used by the family is known. That said she is known to have been in Australia & Europe ( UK & Germany ). I have spent some time searching PapersPast without success. No mention of an engagement etc. In fact the family does not seem to have used newspaper notices for BMDs. Perhaps I should also check Trove in case the fellow lived in Australia. It may also be worth tracking her in passenger lists. Cheers Jonathan On 29 June 2016 at 17:18, Penne <[email protected]> wrote: > Re indexes.
