I need some help to refresh my memory. I decided to read some documents on my KAAN family from Waimate South Island NZ. Intentions to marry document from National archives reads: Timaru 1865 P369/108 John KAAN Bachelor, Labourer, age 30, Length of residence 4 months. Sarah Jane SMITH, servant, age 27, Length of residence 10 months. Place of marriage - W Buchannan's residence Willow Bridge, Waimate. Query: 4months and 10months means length of residence at W Buchannan's place? Yes? Or length of time in NZ? Thanks Gracie
I'm pretty sure it means length of residence in NZ. Jeanette Sent from my iPad > On 23/02/2017, at 21:30, Gracie Burton <[email protected]> wrote: > > I need some help to refresh my memory.
