Title: Lookups on from Maori BDM microfiche request
Post by: bcooper960 on Thursday 16 February 12 13:34 GMT (UK)

I do not live in New Zealand and would be very grateful if someone could lookup the following BDMs for me.  They are not at the historical BDM website so I suspect they are on the Maori rolls.  Thank you to whatever kind soul makes the trip to the library to do the lookups.

Marriages:

9 Sep 1913: Athole Stanley Wemyss and Erana Putiputi Heihi, aka Helen Hayes

Deaths:

1913: Mere Tarahau Waaka, (Reporoa) married to Pene Heihi (Ben Hayes).

8 Sep 1926, (Gisborne?), Helen Wemyss, aka Erana Putiputi Heihi/Hayes/Wemyss

1935, (Tokomaru Bay, Gisborne)  Harata Poiwa Temoko, married name Heihi/Hayes. Wife of Hone Heihi (John Hayes) who died before her.

9 Oct 1933, Reremoana HEIHI (Ellen Hayes) married to William Baker Milner.

These are births, but they occured before Maori birth registration became compulsory in 1913. Does anyone know where they might be recorded, if at all?

17 Dec 1881 (Gisborne) Erana Putiputi Heihi, aka Helen Hayes, father Hone Heihi (John Hayes)

Abt 1857 (near Gisborne) Hone Heihi, aka John Hayes, sone of Pene Heihi (Ben Hayes) and Mere Tarahau Waaka (?)

If you catch any other registration for the surname Heihi I'd be interested. The Heihi/Hayes family lived near Gisborne and Reporoa on the East Cape of New Zealand.

I can't spot the 1913 one, but the spelling may be variant..you can browse by the year

re the birth and death info
Did you gather the above info from LDS
Just I know for some in Te aroha area, they are accurate and they were submitted from church records.

Hello...

I managed to visit the library today and check the fiches but had no luck with any of the deaths. I'm going to go back sometime this weekend and have another look, mainly because I was too rushed today. I wouldn't be surprised if the names are there and I missed them entirely.

Out of interest, is the following death...

1913: Mere Tarahau Waaka, (Reporoa) married to Pene Heihi (Ben Hayes).

the same as this death at BDM NZ...

1913/10615 - HEIHI, Mere - 68Y

Regards
Beg

Hi again...

Managed to visit the library once more. Still had no success with the B's, D's or M's..

But I forgot to mention earlier that my library doesn't have Maori Deaths Fiche #3, which is the one HEIHI would be on.

Sorry to be so unhelpful. Maybe someone else can check Deaths fiche #3.

But I'm pretty sure that none of the other name/surname combinations you mentioned appear.

Regards
Beg

Thank you everyone for your help.  I knew it might be a tough one to work.  All we can do is try...

Don't know whether these found on the Maori death fiche are helpful?

685 HEIHI Erana 1960
1999 HEIHI Hemi Purehu 1949
253 HEIHI Mere Katene 1957
