In pursuit of Robert King

[carol80]

H. Morris Funeral Services are still in Northcote.
They are just round the corner from me.
I will pop round later this week and see if they have any information for you.

PS i can not find an email address for them.
I have a brother in law by the name of Robert King. Will email my sister and see if she has any family details for him.

Happy New year

Hi All, thanks for all the help.  I have come across a marriage for a Robert  King and a ? Porter in W.Ham Essex, 1915 dec qtr 4a/1150.  I am not sure if this is tha answer to my problem as it would only make Robert 15 yrs old and it gives no first name for the spouse.  Thanks Riley for the offer of   to look up the births for me it is very kind of you.  I believe I still have relatives in NZ and would love to be able to find them.  The only names I have are Brian & Maureen - but not even a surname so this is no help.    Thanks also Carol for the offer to check out the Funeral Services perhaps my luck has changed, Cheers Dee

Hi Dee,

I searched the NZ Birth Indexes 1921-1927 and found these:

1921 KING Gladys Christine, folio 1702 (registered at Invercargill, March qtr)
1925 KING Pamela Mavis, folio 1007 (registered at Wellington, March qtr)
1926 KING Pamela Mary, folio 4912 (registered at Christchurch, Sept qtr)

Regards, riley

Hi Riley, thanks for the birth information,its much appreciated.  Can you tell me if there is a way to check the parents names for these without having to purchase the certificates?  I was also wondering if anyone could give me information on the passenger lists to NZ - I have not been able to find a year for Roberts arrival in NZ.  I would imagine that he would have arrived in his teens or early 20's and as he was born in 1901 I would guess it would be around 1918-1925,
Cheers Dee

Hi Dee,

To answer your first question, no, sorry. And the same applies for passenger lists, as without knowing the port and approximate date of arrival it's like looking for the proverbial needle. In any case such lists are unindexed as far as i'm aware.
