Fife / Re: COMPLETE 1871 census look up - GUTHRIE
« on: Thursday 09 April 20 12:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi Fiona

I have had a good few days doing some research and found most of the information , my mum also dug in the paper files at home and got alot of guthrie history that nana was given before she passed . My nanas Father was William Ernest Guthrie , his father was Walter Guthrie who came to nz from Scotland  . Very hard to trace my nanas history when she had 3 different surnames by the time she was 7 but luckily I found the papers that fully documented her life and her birth parents families so that gives me somthing to work on through isolation!

Hi Fiona
just wondering if you would had any info on the children that came out to New Zealand ( busy trying to peice together my Grandmothers Birth Family while in lockdown)

I know she was connected to Walter Guthrie  who owned alot of businesses in Dunedin Otago but i think her may have been her grandfather  ( her father had left his first wife but unable to divorce  and nana was the result to his next relationship with a lady called Mary Canty )

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Gare's from Waipori

Hopefully it is of some use , it took me a long time to figure out and almost number the people on the tree with the same name , I know with the Gare line they all used family names.....for everyone ! So the brothers and sisters used their brothers and sisters names for their children leading to a big line of confusion and working with dates ! .... my own father did this naming my brother Ian Robert after his brother Ian Robert and then his Father was Ian lomas!

Hi there , was just doing family research on old Google and this popped up , I am lucky enough to be part of a big family tree on Ancestry.com that follows a lot of our family lines from waipori.  Isabella and John were my Great great grandparents . Isabellas parents were James Russle and Janet Hunter both born in Cumbernauld DumbartonShire Scotland.  James Died in 1871 Alexandra Victoria aus and Janet died 1854 Geelong Victoria Aus . I see someone about the hayes name earlier but that would have come from John Gares mother Leah Hayes 😊 very hard to follow when generations use the same names !

Hope this is of some help
Cheers
Kelsey Gare
