Query NZBDM with the original folio number from ancestry. Their indeces have *no* soundex searching. Alternatively, the indeces have that function through familysearch… and you’ll likely find a mistranscription, and then be able to find it on BDM and order the printout (assuming that’s what you want to do).

Hi Chris I am a genealogist and volunteer at the Hokonui Heritage Center. If you have not had any replies and success , I am happy to do some research with this death. Our branch indexed the deaths up to 1935 while they were still in the local Court House and the HHC holds the local newspapers Avis -----Original Message----- From: Julie Collins (Skellern) Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2018 10:29 AM To: new-zealand@rootsweb.com Subject: [nz]Re: NEW-ZEALAND Digest, Vol 13, Issue 356 Query NZBDM with the original folio number from ancestry.

Is perhaps a mistranscription when the indexes were digitised to be put online at the NZ historical BDMs website. A while back I was investigating approx 500 members of a cricket club and its predecessor clubs prior to 1920 and encountered numerous mistranscriptions. Suggest you email the online website to ask them to check the index for that name in case they need to make a correction. > > > I am seeking clarification regarding the death of this man.

Hi Chris Your earlier posting referred to Charles STACEY being in the "Old Gore Cemetery". Gore is in Southland which is a long way from Woodville ;-) In fact, Charles STACEY was buried in the Old Gorge Cemetery, Woodville on 6 Dec 1911 (the burial records for this cemetery are online on the Tararua District Council website). The Council records show Charles (age 84, 'widower') was buried in "Section - Main, Sub/Block - 5, Plot - 11". In the same grave is Rachel Besant STACEY (died 30 Oct 1906, buried 1 Nov 1906, age 61, married). From Paperspast: Woodville Examiner, Vol XXII, Issue 3945, 31 Oct 1906 "STACEY - At Franklin Road, Woodville, on the 30th October, Rachel Bisson, beloved wife of Charles Stacey; aged 66 years." And in same day's edition... "We regret to record the death of Mrs Charles Stacey, which took place at her residence, Franklin's Road yesterday. The deceased lady was a very old resident of Woodville having come here twenty-seven or twenty-eight years ago. Mr and Mrs Stacey went to live in the Wairarapa some years ago, but returned to Woodville within the last year. The deceased lady was of a bright, kkindly disposition, and was dearly loved by all who knew her." Woodville Examiner, Vol XXVII, Issue 4469, 6 Dec 1911 "The death occurred at Woodville on Monday of Mr Stacey, who has been a resident of Woodville for many years. The deceased was a member of the 65th Regiment, and in the early days was drill instructor at the local school. He leaves a widow. The funeral took place this morning." Woodville Examiner, Vol XXVII, Issue 4469, 15 Jan 1912 "As Mrs Stacey was driving along McLean Street on Friday afternoon, and just in front of Dr Mules' residence the horse stumbled and fell. The shaft of the buggy was broken and Mrs Stacey was thrown out rather heavily. She was carried into Dr Mules' house where her injuries were attended to. Luckily no bones were broken, and she was well enough to be driven home to her own residence." Woodville Examiner, Vol XXVII, Issue 4469, 9 Feb1912 (Report from Woodville Borough Council Meeting) "From Constable O'Halloran, asking if Council would make some allowance to Mrs Stacey in regard to the funeral expenses of the late Mr Stacey. The total charges were 12 pounds 5 shillings, which appeared to him to be high, and she had sold her cow for 7 pounds to pay part of them, and was without means to pay the balance. The Mayor said that the Council's share of the funeral expenses was 25 shillings for cemetery fees. Cr Grant moved, 'That the Council remit the cemetery fees', as he thought it a deserving case. Cr Kirkpatrick seconded, and it was carried, the Mayor saying he would see what he could do to assist the old lady with the balance." I suggest you follow Charles through the electoral rolls, in 1881 he is shown as a settler in Woodville, while the 1893 & 1896 rolls show Charles at Mauriceville and Rachel at Dreyerton. All three of these electoral rolls show land references for Charles, so it should be fairly straight forward to find the actual land he owned 9and probably lived on). Angela

I've tried Family Search and no luck there. I agree that there must be a transcription error, and so far have exhausted all the possible spellings of the name that I can think of..pity there isn't a soundex function. Thank you for your reply.
