New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Early Divorces in NZ

Many thanks Signal
I do have the marriage cert of John Veitch and Margaret Mcalpine. Interestingly the Certificate states they were married at Morningside Dunedin, which was John Veitchs home. He died in 1888 in Dunedin. Very short marriage to Mary Wilson.

Cheers Jeanette

Hi there
I believe John Watson Veitch and Mary Wilson were married in Dunedin. I dont have the marriage certificate to be able to be sure.
Many thanks for checking.

Thanks for all info. Delighted to have found the marriage of Christina Johnston. Will check further on papers past for other children. Has been difficult with no second names and common surname of Johnston.
No Christopher Johnston and Margaret Mcalpine did not stay together, it all ended badly in court, then Christopher took off to Hobart, ended up in prison not supporting children. He died in Hobart at the age of 89. Trouble seemed to follow Margaret Johnston where ever she went.
Cheers Jeanette

Fermanagh / Christopher Johnston b.1804
« on: Tuesday 01 July 14 04:49 BST (UK)  »
I require information regarding Christopher Johnston b. in Fermagh, he married Ann Hall in 1832, she was born 1816 in Ireland. They left South Hampton 1854 on the ship 'Moltan' and arrived in Hobart Australia some months later. He died in Hobart 13 Oct 1890.
Does anyone have this couple in their tree or could help me trace his parents?
Many thanks Jeanette

Researching a divorce between John Watson Veitch and Margaret Stewart Veitch[nee Mcalpine].
They married in 1872 in Dunedin 16 April 1872. No further info on marriage cert.
John Watson Veitch remarried 1885 to Mary Wilson, he then died in 27 Dec 1888.
I understood divorce would be recorded on marrriage cert.
Where do I go to find out info.
Margaret did not remarry until 1917, by then John was dead.
Many thanks Jeanette

I think a red herring Althea, there seemed to be numerous Christopher Johnstons around NZ in those earlier years but couldnt find any relationship.

Many thanks Jeanette

Hi Althea,
Christopher, jnr died in 1962 in Hamilton. Christopher snr went to Tasmania after the split with his partner and numerous court cases. I believed he died there at the age of 91 although will never be able to be sure as there is no marriage therefore dont have proof of who his parents were.
What a fascinating family and interesting search over many years.
Still unable to find any history of Christopher Jnr brother and sister.
Many thanks Jeanette
