New Zealand / Welcome back, everybody(I hope)!
« on: Yesterday at 21:56 »
That was a very long week, wasn’t it!

I have no information as yet about what happened to take the forum offline, sorry, but I hope to find out.

But welcome home, all of us 😁😁👋

Hi Franlaine, and welcome to RootsChat  :) :)

This link to Auckland City Council might help you.

It provides an email address for enquiries.

Please let us know how you get on.  ;)

Hi Orkrad,

I can't much on him either. Can you provide some dates of birth and death and where he lived, please.

Thanks Ruskie, I wasn't sure whether or not to post it so you've just made my day. ;D

Happy hunting,

The Grub Street Project
https://www.grubstreetproject.net/
The Grub Street Project is a digital edition of eighteenth-century London. By mapping its print culture, literature, and trades, it aims to create both a historically accurate visualization of the city's commerce and communications, and a record of how its authors and artists portrayed it.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: St Mary's Industrial School

Hi Annekenz,

My apologies for the 12-month gap in communicating; I lost your topic and have just stumbled across a text document of my request to the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) for information on Adelaide, Charles and Henry STONE.

MSD never responded to my enquiry.

What would you like to do?

Regards,

Hi Ian

Can you please PM me in early March with a reminder about the file.

Don't want to forget you.

Hi Ian,

I ordered your file yesterday but Archives NZ have replied saying that it hasn't yet been transferred across to their new facility. I need to wait a month or so before requesting it again.

We'll have to be patient.

Regards,

Hi Ian,

I've found this list of passengers. There is a cross against three names, all the same surname, but no further information to indicate whether they died en route or later.
