Could someone with better date range than BMD online give me marriage date
DRAKE, Colin Victor and MARSHALL Gwen ... 1959-1965
Much appreciated.
GAYE
-
do you know where this marriage came from i havent been able to find it so far
-
Hi : thanks for your time
I believe it was Auckland NZ between those dates but I guess may have
been earlier...
-
Before 1963 ( as she is in electoral roll with him then)
Not showing in 1960 roll, but his mother has moved to a different address so perhaps it was around then.
-
His mother (my grandmother Rose Marguerite Drake) was living at
Pakuranga Highway Auckland at that time ..
I have a haunting feeling that they may have married in Australia (Gwen was Australian)
but my cousins insist they married in Auckland ;D
-
ah accounts for why I couldnt see it I was looking in UK ::)
sorry I havent any New Zealand marriages
-
So sorry if I have requested in the wrong forum
-
Not you it was me didnt look you are in right forum....think I made mistake didnt look before searching typical of me!!!

What does it say on a child’s birth certificate?
It should have
“Parents
When and where married
-
Situation is : 1 only adopted child - family living in Australia father is
near death aged 92 and mother can't remember much of anything.
We are trying to help from Auckland all by email/research to give
daughter something...
-
Is one or are both still living??
Minniehaha.
-
Father Colin died late last evening...Wife has poor memory
NZ family were just trying to give the adopted daughter in Australia
some family history...
I'll try someone on Geni.com for a marriage date...
-
Condolences on the passing of your family member.
* Does your family maybe have wedding photos of the couple which might identify date/location ?

does anyone in the family have access through an institution to Newztext?
eg https://www.waikato.ac.nz/library/portals/resources/databases/newztext_plus
-
No, cousins here in NZ are very vague with such
I have asked a member of Geni for help in getting the year of marriage
but no response yet
Shame the online BMD site only allows free searches to 1943 :(
-
Hi Gaye,
If they did marry in Auckland the event might have been recorded in the New Zealand Herald newspaper.
I recall that there was a lookup facility somewhere (I think you needed to write in). Possibly the Auckland branch of the NZ Society of Genealogists?
Can anyone help with this?
Otherwise I suggest that you search the various Australian State's BDM sites for their marriage.
Regards,
Spades

Aren't marriage indexes only available up to 1956 on CD? If this is so then you would need to apply to the Registry for a search.

Correct, but to search on line you can search up to 5 Jan 1943, as at todays date typing this.
Cheers

You are right there 1943 is the limit online BMD in New Zealand
I did have someone with greater search skills in Geni look for me 1956-1965
and he found Nothing....most odd as they shown as a married couple in Electoral Rolls 1960
I'm not so familiar with searching out Australia BMD online ...
::)
-

How did they do that if the registry is the only place to have access to those records?
Debra :)
-
If they are registered genealogists and have access to full database on a paid sub.
(I think).....unlike plebs like me who only use the 'free online access to BMD'
::)

Moderator edit: comment removed.
What needs to be mentioned perhaps is that ... after 1956 (the extent of the NZSG Marriages available on cd), there is the option to refer to microfiche records of NZ Marriages up to the year 1990 * . This can be done usually at larger libraries in New Zealand (and some other repositories - a few of which include Australia.) That requires a physical visit though ... but you might find a New Zealand libarary online whose genealogy section could help with a "look-up" of the information.
In the case of the marriage you seek, the years to be covered are few ... e.g. 1956 to **1960 1963.
If they are registered genealogists and have access to full database on a paid sub.
(I think).....
::)
.... that information is not entirely correct re: "registered genealogists" :
~ Lu
added: * (checking for exact year) .... but is at least to 1980.
Amended date > 1990 > is now in text above ^ [source: NatLib NZ ]
Further amended ** ... year to read as 1963 :

Thank you, that is what I wanted to know - whether they were publicly available after 1956.

I might be blind, but the earliest I can see them together is 1963. It also depends on when she became old enough to enrol.

... yes Debra, I thought 1963 also ... oops ... I copied what "gaye" had written, without re-checking :-[
But I will do that check now !! ;D
~ Lu
-
Rolls re-checked ... her first appearance is 1963.
Mckha also gave this information re: electoral rolls in Reply # 3 here. :)
Have also amended my post # 22 to show year as being 1963.

:D oh oh oh
I do beg your pardon....1963 Roll so marriage must be before 1963
Many thanks

Do you have a library near you which keeps the New Zealand B D and M microfiche indexes ?
