What was the surname of James Ernest and Issaac?
I don't see a death for either a James Ernest Vickers or Featherston/e
Cheers Janette

James Ernest was Vickers and died in 1970 in the Midlands
Isaac was Vickers - his youngest brother and died in 1985 in Wellington NZ

Hello & welcome to Rootschat.... :)
If your grandparents are still alive you will need to remove their names as it is against Rootschat policy to post the names of the living. You can however contact those who have posted above by using the personal message system.
In order to activate this you will need to post two more messages. Just a smiley :) in each will do the trick. Others can then contact you too, using the personal messaging system.

Sorry Spades, I didn't go back and read the earlier posts. I was relying on the present tense having been used. :)

No worries, Minniehaha, I checked because I don't want to inconvenience RC members unless absolutely necessary.

Sorry for the confusion.
I'm a little unsure how this messaging system works. Isaac Vickers and Isabelle Vickers have both pass some time ago. I would like to contact people with some family history. Who my grandfather came to New Zealand with and how it is related to the Featherston family.
