Ross & Cromarty / Re: Grant Family - Contin
« on: Thursday 30 November 17 21:17 GMT (UK)  »
I have been fortunate in having someone from my post two years ago who did a great deal of research for me and found all the Grants descendants from Alexander Grant b.1772 m. Jessie (Janet) McLennan and I have no Rodericks and no daughters.

 All children were born in Contin and several of the children came to New Zealand

I have now seen his death certificate which states he was born in County Down, but don't seem to be able to find his birth/christening records to confirm that the records you sent me match up??

Thank you for your help, this gives me more to work on.  The daughter would appear to tie in as Mother was Agnes.

Derry (Londonderry) / Tracing Samuel Jamison/Jemison/Jamieson
« on: Saturday 01 July 17 14:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I am trying to trace more information on my Gt-Gt-Gt Grandfather Samuel Jamieson.  We know he was born 25.7.1821 in Ireland - Father James & Mother Agness.  He married Maria Scott 05.01.1849 in Maghera, Londonderry.  They moved to Scotland & we have census records for 1851 and they sailed to NZ and arrived in 1863 on board 'Captain Cook'.
I would like to find more of the family in Ireland, brother's/sister's, etc. and also his Mother's maiden name.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Do you by any chance know of a site that has copies of past newspapers in Carlisle that I could look at?

We have a site in NZ called paperspast that has copies of papers for all areas in NZ - I could then look to see if I can find something.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Hi
Hope someone can help.  I have found my Great-Grandfather Edward Bell who came to New Zealand from Carlislie and married Mary Amelia Hull.
It is known in the family that he was a 'remittance' person and we don't seem to have a definite definition of what this meant.  He had an allowance that was sent to him apparently from the UK.
His father was a Tanner, & I believe this was quite a prosperous position.  Some in the family say he got into trouble and was sent away.  Another person has suggested that as he was the third son it could have been he couldn't/wouldn't join the family business and was therefore sent away with an allowance.
Would be grateful if anyone could find more details for me.  From my research:
He was born in 1842
His father was John Bell who married Elizabeth Furniss
We can't find any information on passenger lists of him arriving in NZ.
Other siblings were:
Sarah Ann 1836
John F. 1840
William 1841
Mary Jane 1844

Yes I've looked at all the deaths of Stevenson in NZ but none match.  You may see from a previous post that there is a Flora Stevenson leaving UK on the Rangitiki in 1946 and we think that is her.  The death certificate of Agnes Binfield (Mother of Robert) 21 March 1946 states that F. Stevenson daughter present at death, 21 Peter Street, Folkestone.

No she was buried in Christchurch, she was travelling to meet up with Robert Edward Binfield, from what we can establish (see other posts) her Mother Agnes married Robert's father and we think she may have been a child from a previous marriage but she/he saw each other as brother/sister.  We are trying to establish this given that all census records when Robert was in the UK there is no mention of Flora??  So my thoughts are, if we can find the death certificate it may help us unravel what at the moment is a bit of a mystery!

I was wondering if you can help me with where I go to get a death certificate for Flora Stevenson.  As mentioned in previous post she was killed in a road accident here in Christchurch (we think 1949/1950), as she was an UK resident I think her death certificate would have been filed in the UK??
