Anyway this message is for the original enquirer Keith: The NZ Gazettes do have references to Lily Ardagh and the NZSG has a few other references to her. If you're a member of NZSG you can access these via their research service.

She writes: I have been researching and writing about the women and girls who worked at the mines in Cornwall and West Devon (bal maidens) for about 15 years now, and I wonder if you are aware of our website www.balmaiden.co.uk<http://www.balmaiden.co.uk>. ? It includes a free searchable database of about 30,000 named bal maidens ? information taken from census and parish records, mine cost books, inquests, newspaper reports etc. It might be of interest for anyone who has Cornish ancestors who went over to NZ to the goldfields. I also would be very glad to hear of anyone who has a bal maiden as an ancestor, along with her story ? as it is very hard to trace people from this end. I am always very dependent on family historians at their destination, to provide information.

My Great, Great Grandfather's sister Elizabeth is mentioned - Living at Carbean in the 1861 census. Sadly she died soon afterwards.

Unfortunately not digitised yet, although I will get it digitised when Archives in Wellington opens after earthquake checking; supposed to be sometime in January. Series 22525 has a lot of personnel files for WWI for those in other (Australian, British etc) forces or for nurses and VADs.
