My Vanishing CARDON family, can you help ?-COMPLETED-

[DelBoy]

Hi,

I havent got Marths death cert yet, but have a copy of entry from register, from Waiuku Museum, the informant was husband Thomas.

Whoops... didnt finish and ended up posting. Still looking for Thomas and first son John, Son num2 - John's probate didnt offer much information. Have had Franklin Council search their cemeteries and no luck for any Cardon or Carden.

I would simply purchase the printout of the death certificate, will give parents names AND where buried.

Having a slight difficulty with Thomas being a carpenter then becoming an engineer, the fields are so different.

Have you checked the Sthn Cross paper references ?

The John CARDON who won the draining contest, may well be the first boy and thats why John Frederick C was always called FRED   

Getting the cert sounds the easiest way of solving this, 9/10 that Thomas will be buried with her, where ever she is !

Hi Del

Is anyone able to locate a birth c1901, for Elina/Elma Pauline Lenton Cardon/Carden, I have her marriage entry.

No birth entry 1879-1910 for Elina Pauline Lenton CARDON/CARDEN.

any other action happening ?

Are you going to get your grt grt grandmothers death cert ?


I see you have been in touch with one of Annies grandchildren, 



Might have a lead on Thomas but I'll wait till some confirmations come thru.

Hi everyone,

Yes going to purchase cert, have been a bit slack due on the genealogy front due to being very busy at work. I work at the Howick Historical Village and have spent 6 weeks doing conservation work on a 100+ aged cottage, in preperation for a live day and family reunion. Will let you all know how it goes, good stuff on the possible "Thomas" lead Mk2.
