A CONFESSION OF MURDER. Sydney, Thursday Some time ago a passenger on the voyage from New Zealand lost his portmanteau, and a man named HEREFORD was arrested for vagrancy; he was found wearing articles bearing the passenger's name. This led to the recovery of the goods. The same prisoner was accused of a similar charge at Newcastle, and was sent there for identification. On the return journey he attempted to escape from the train, after murderously assaulting the warder with a decanter. HEREFORD, who is confined in Darlinghurst, has confessed that he murdered an unknown man while working in the bush in the Wairarapa district by shooting him. The murder took place five years ago, and it is believed that another man is serving a sentence for it. From inquiries; instituted by the police they think Hereford's confession authentic Wellington, Thursday. The police have investigated the confession reported in the Sydney cable today, and declare that there is no foundation for the statement that a murder was committed.

Hi Ron, > I am trying to find Charles McNulty b, Belfast 23 February 1933... Maybe he came to New Zealand... BDM Online - Historical Records (https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home/) are our only online registration indexes, but if he died here he won't appear until his 80th birthday. You could also try Archway (http://archway.archives.govt.nz/), the online index for Archives New Zealand (http://www.archives.govt.nz/), in case there is a probate listed. It's not yet a complete index and their holdings grow by the day, so worth checking back from time to time if you don't have success. I looked at the NZSG CD "New Zealand Burial Locator v2" (http://www.genealogy.org.nz/Sales_11.aspx?CategoryId=11) for him, but do not see him amongst the three "Char* MCNULTY" listings. You may do better to post to the New Zealand list (http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/NZL/NEW-ZEALAND.html), rather than the Auckland one, since this is restricted to Auckland connections and he may have gone elsewhere if he did come to this country.

This is very much a ‘shot in the dark’, but I am trying to trace a family by the name of SIDDALL who may have emigrated to NZ in the early 1920s or even earlier. Ernest Lloyd Siddall was a veterinary surgeon (born 1878 Cheltenham UK). His wife was Edith Louise (b 1872 Cheltenham UK). In the 1911 census in UK they were living in Cheltenham with the two children of Edith’s first marriage, Dorothy Edith WALES (b 1899 Lincolnshire) and Charles Ernest WALES (b 1902 Lincolnshire). There is some evidence (IGI entry) that Dorothy married Robson HEDLEY in Auckland in the early 1920s. Can anyone throw any light on this family? I am beginning to realise that researching New Zealand from the UK is not so easy! So any help or advice would be much appreciated. Steve
