New Zealand / Re: Duncan MACKAY 1864-??
« on: Yesterday at 01:22 »
Found Duncan seniors death cert, and according to that he was born in Adelaide, and married there as well. Wife was Flora Kennedy. Father Donald but no mention of mother.

Also found Duncan juniors birth cert. Born 14 July 1864 in Dunedin. Lots of people arrived in Dunedin about this time from Australia.

Duncan had a brother William Gordon born in Oamaru in 1869, who seems to have disappeared as well. There was another William Gordon MACKAY of a similar age who married in 1891 and had children after that, but he was born in Adelaide, so could have been a relation as well somewhere.

Thanks Lu

Certainly a lot of reading there. Lot of repeated stuff though.

The daughter went to Australia and one of the nephews as well from a tree on Ancestry so Duncan probably went there as well. No mention of Duncan in most of the trees.

Thanks Lu.

Like the way the Truth article was written.

Looks like he was a bit of a bad boy and has probably changed his name or left the country.

New Zealand / Duncan MACKAY 1864-??

Duncan was born c1864, being aged 26 in his Intention to marry Annie Alicia RICHARDS in 1891. They were married in Feilding on 20 Jan 1891.

Can find them in electoral rolls together in Rangitikei, Wellington, Masterton and Dannevirke up to 1911. In 1914 I think Annie is in Te Kuiti, no sign of Duncan. They divorced in 1917. Annie is still in Te Kuiti in 1919.

Had four children
Frederick Duncan 1891-1952
Flora 1893-1940
Bernice Alicia 1895-1963
Agnes Rititi 1897-1982

Annie went on to marry Joseph Christopher SPINLEY in Auckland in 1919, and died in Auckland in 1936.

Duncan was a blacksmith. He was adjudged bankrupt in 1893-96.

Not looking for anything further on Annie or the children, but hoping someone can assist in finding what happened to Duncan.

Thanks

Thanks minniehaha.

I can't find her death anywhere either. Hence main reason for asking here.

Do have lots about her descendants but nothing about her ancestry.

Thanks wivenhoe. Yes that is the right family.

She wasn't called Lucy at all that I have been able to find. The notice was probably handwritten and whoever has typeset it to print the paper has misread it.

Not sure where the Isabel came from but Delia was Henry/Harry's sister.

Do not have the marriage cert. Would not be much use anyway as it is before January 1880 when parents names were included.

The info about when she arrived came from her obituary in the newspaper in 1929. Don't know where she was born.

Technical Help / Re: HP scanner help, please
« on: Thursday 12 June 25 06:13 BST (UK)  »
Some HP scanners if they are part of a printer/scanner/copier sometimes won't scan through the USB port that you would normally connect to.

Some of the later ones require connection through a network to scan, which means using an ethernet cable connected to your router.
