New Zealand Completed Requests / Re:access to records in auckland nz

This is very much appreciated. I guess my next move will be to see if there might have been a police inquiry into his disappearance. This could be a long haul!

To the best of my knowledge, there were no related Milroys in New Zealand.

Thank you so much for all your help!!

I keep forgetting! And yet I have visited New Zealand. It is very beautiful.

Thank you very much. That sounds like a lot of work!

Do the death indexes cover all of New Zealand or just Auckland? My guess is that he didn't return to Britain, but it is also possible that he went back to Australia, where he had participated in several scientific/exploring expeditions in the desert.

Hello Valmai,

I would be grateful if you could check the death indexes for James Patrick Milroy. He was born in Edinburgh in 1856, and was last heard from on Dec. 31, 1891, when he wrote his mother from Auckland. At the time he was employed by the Kauri Timber Co.

This is a shot in the dark, but I wonder whether he might have died in Auckland shortly after this date. His family was never able to trace what became of him.

Many thanks for your help!

Ian McDonald
