New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: CHRISTCHURCH Archives ~ Look-up please * COMPLETED *

Hi Lu,

Nice to hear from you too and thanks for the thoughts. OK here  in 'munted' town. Life has changed in so many ways, but slowly getting used to a 'new normal'.
I'm working full-time now, so not much time to hunt the rellies. Plodding on, though, with my colourful West Coast lot.

Stephanie  :)

Hi Bruce and Lu!  ;D

I'm still around  - just haven't been rootschatting for a while!
Bruce - as Lu said, ChCh Archives are closed due to the Feb 22nd earthquake. Not sure of the extent of the damage or when they will reopen.

Cheers,
Stephanie

HI Jan,

 This is a good site for Auckland arrivals.

There is a Pacey family arriving on the ship Brahmin in 1883.

Cheers,

This may be them

1896 Electoral Roll Lyttleton
Henry SMITH railway station master Opawa
Elizabeth Ann SMITH same address

Annie

Adding: Annie and Blanche Irene at same address

Hi all,

I think your Henry lived in Opawa rather than Lyttelton. I believe the electorate Lyttelton extended over the hills and covered some parts of Christchurch itself, including the suburb of Opawa.  Linwood is very close to Opawa. I'm a local!  :)

Hi,

Just happened to be going in to Christchurch Library today. Found a record of Gladys Mary's baptism in the card index.

SUGDEN, Gladys Mary, born 9 Oct 1889.
Baptised Holy Trinity Avonside, 4 Dec 1906.
Parents: Albert Sydney, Gentleman and Annie. Sponsor Annie SUGDEN

Holy Trinity is an Anglican Church.

Also with same parents:
Alberta May SUGDEN, born 28 Feb 1892, baptised 4 Dec 1906.
John Henry Francis SUGDEN, born 28 May 1906, baptised 27 Sept 1906

No record of Gladys' birth on the microfiche. Looks like she was born in England.

Hi,

Can't spot his name in these lists

These lists also only cover members of the colonial forces - not the British soldiers. I don't know if there is a list of British soldiers who received the NZ Medal.

Hi Alison,

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the colonial units were the NZ raised ones such as the Waikato regiments as opposed to the British regiments which served here during the Maori Wars. I'm not sure your relative would appear in a list of colonial soldiers who received the NZ Medal. My GG grandfather also served in a British regiment in NZ and Australia and received the medal but I haven't found his name in such a list yet.
Others may know more.

Cheers,
Stephanie
