Hi evryone
thanks for all your replies and suggestions.
My name is William Houston King and was born in NZ *. My father was John Houston King, and an only son. His father was James King who married Lucy Tricklebank. This is the one who evidentially moved to Australia with Isabelle Stokes and has another family of Kings over there. I have met Lorraine West who is the other person researching the family and if everything is true, then we are very much related. My problem is locating Lucy King, re Tricklebank, as I cannot find any reference to her death except for two notices of Lucy King, one in 1938 which would make her 54Y, one in 1905 which would make her 33Y. While there is other Lucy Kings these two are the only ones with only one Christian name. I do have a marriage cert for James and Lucy; they were married in Palmerston North on 30 Jan 1882. Their parents also attended, William Houston King and Elizabeth King, nee Ronaldson. And Lucy’s’ parents, Charles Tricklebank and Eliza Tricklebank, nee Whitehouse. I do not have any more information than that.
Any information that you may have and that you think may help would be appreciated. As you can tell I am very new to this whole thing and hope that I have not left it too late.
Yours sincerely
WHKing (Bill)
