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.
