hi,

I have a very specific question about the NZ electoral rolls. In 1949 there must have been two as my partners mother and father have two separate entries. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT MONTHS THE TWO WERE TAKEN IN.

This is important as my partner was born in early April 1950 and her mother is still with her first husband on the first electoral roll and with her second husband to be on the second electoral roll.

Thanks

thanks cancan - that must be it

Hi,

I have the marriage certificate for a relative married St Clements Longsight Manchester 1929. The marriage was between Frederick Johnson and Annie Hicks. Their parents were James Johnson (dec'd)  and Benjamin Hicks (dec'd).

My question is - What is a Bandman? James Johnson is noted as a Bandman. The only thing i can think of is that he said bandsman and they wrote bandman? The best match on the 1911 census is a Dairyman!

Any help would be appreciated

hi,

After buying a marriage certificate for my ancestor Christopher cox (born approx 1817 Ireland married Eliza Alcock in Manchester 1840 - she was born in Waterford approx 1817), I have found his father was called Darby Cox and he was a labourer.

I cannot find any birth/marriage etc results on several sites (such as ancestry and familysearch) EXCEPT for two Darby Cox's on the Griffiths evaluation and the Tithe appointment books (one in Roscommon the other in Leitrim).

My question is - Are these two types of sources very comprehensive - or, in other words, would every Darby Cox who was renting a property appear on the Griffiths evaluation and Tithe sources?  Would a ordinary person like a labourer even appear on these sources or would it just be people with businesses or farms etc?

thanks for reading
