John Blackwood HOWIE Sale, Victoria

[nz bob]

I am looking for any information on my Gt Grandfather, John Blackwood Howie who lived in Sale, Victoria and married Margaret Jane Hutchinson there on 2nd October 1880.  I understand John was an accountant and newspaper reporter while living in Sale.  Their son [my grandfather] Alexander Hutchinson Howie was born in Sale in 1881.  Does anyone have John's work details or possibly a photo of him?  He later lived in Melbourne before emmigrating to Dunedin NZ where he died in 1905.

Any information would be gratefully received.

hello there
bob can't help with a photo or such
but it is interesting to note that on the marriage details from
the indexs  margaret jane name is BEARE
  and john blackwood is from  KILMANROCK

on alexander birth it does say hutchinson
but on the other son birth details  it reads
margaret jane beave 
this is JAMES ROBERT BLACKWOOD HOWIE  born  1885  at HO TH  reg no 26159

now margaret died in HOTH E 1885  aged 39
says parents are john hutchinson  and jemima

then he remarried in 1890 to FRANCES MYFORD  regno9106

you may have all this
but hope it helps

Hello there

I have notice something odd
here in the pioneer index 1836 - 1888
alexdr hutchinson howie's birth is recorder twice once reg no 19111
then rego no 32239 withx1917 next to it

then on the great war index 1914-1920 there is the birth recorded again reg no 32239

Does anyone know why this would happen
I know  it probably has no relevance to ozbob

but I am curious  and I don't know a lot about genealogy research and would like to know why this would happen

regards jenn

Hi Jenn

There a number of instances like this, the only explanation I can think of is that Alexander required a birth certifcate for some reason and they couldn't find the initial registration or he didn't think the birth was registered, so the birth was registered in 1917.

Cheers
