I found your thread purely by accident......not realising that you had posted a whole year ago.
I am certainly keen to make contact with you as I too am a descendant of William Joseph and Janet.

I'm not sure about the William Douglas name but my line is as follows:
Andrew Turnbull Anderson
William Joseph Anderson
William George Anderson
William Stanley Anderson
Richard Alexander Anderson
then me !

I have a wonderful 4 gen photo with William Stanley as a baby....a real treasure.........and happy to share if you would like a copy.

Hope to hear from you 
Cheers

Hi there

I'm hoping some kind person could look up the following probate file

ANDREWS John
BAZZ - 1570 -  Box4257 - 3481/1988

I'm looking for details of family names and his service number/rank as he served in WWII in the Navy
I have been sent copies of his headstone but I'm unable to read the service numbers in the photo !!!

I'm more than happy to do any Christchurch searches in return.

Many thanks
Hev

Hello from NZ. I am hoping that some kind person maybe able to help me with a search for the following marriage.
Richard Taylor , born ~1859 in Paris france then moved to Cork where he spent 8 years before marrying Mary Ann Joyce ~1875, from Cork.
Her Father was James Joyce.
Theu both them left for Nz in 1875.
Thank you very much.

Love the expressions Zephyr 


Hi Riley

Shocking alright..........yes I had found these articles.
This is part of the reason for my hunt. If this is the correct father, and the same one that also assaulted his wife (refer Papers Past 9/10/1872) then poor Annie had some interesting parents !!
There is also a "Lunacy Case File" held for an Ann Borland at the Dunedin Archives Office
I just made a trip to Dunedin..........wished I'd found this earlier so I could have viewed the file - will have to wait till next time.
Unless there's someone in Dunedin who do a lookup for me ...........PLEASE !!

I received a reply back from the Port Chalmers Museum (very speedy)
They confirmed the ELECTRIC ship but no passenger lists
The Annie Anderson they had listed didn't seem to fit.
He did suggest that The Hocken Library holds an account of the voyage - so will try that avenue next.

If you need any Chch lookups let me know - I really like they way people are keen to help each other.

Cheers
Hev

Thank you Riley

I'm thinking I'll put a search request to the Andrew Turnbull Library and see if they have any shipping lists

Appreciate your help

Hev
