In pursuit of Robert King

[Dee3]

Hi Carol, no unfortunately not the right one.  I rang the directors and they were very helpful - the name of this Ella's husband was an Arthur Robert - she was born in Bramleigh England.  I guess your sisters husband isn't related either.  My Roberts father was Walter and mother was Ellen.  Anyway I'll keep searching, cheers Dee

Hi Dee,

Sorry for the delay with this.

I checked NZ Marriages fiches 1956-1966 for a PORTER marriage to a KING but didn't find one, sorry.

Regards, riley

Hi Riley, thanks for trying. maybe I have got Ella's name wrong any way I'll keep looking, Cheers Dee

Hi guys

Excuse me butting in after you have been at it for a while, but just did a bit of "going off on a tangent" re:

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.   

and did a marriage search for Brian King and found the following:

1953
Brian Joseph KING married
Maureen Olive CLEGHORN
Folio ref: 16252

Could this be your couple......?
I'm not sure off hand what the law is regarding supply of certs for people who are still alive.  Although I have a feeling if you can quote chapter and verse (so to speak) that you can get anyones.

Perhaps riley might have more knowledge on this.

This would then give you an idea of where they lived at the time of marriage, and who knows, they may still be in the same area.


Had a quick look on White Pages, there are heaps of BJ King, but no BJ & MO King.

Would even be worth a shot to write to one/several of them and see what you turn up.

Wow Bren, now that's lateral thinking! Certainly looks like them to me.

Yes, Dee should be able to purchase that marriage certificate, there's no onus of proof of relationship.

See this NZ Dept of Internal Affairs webpage for instructions;

Happy Hunting Dee, and tell us how you get on if you decide to get the certificate.

Hi Bren, thanks for the information. I think your idea about writting is a good one, will give it a go,

Hi, it's been a while since this was originally posted but have you had any luck with your search for Robert and Ella King?

I am 100% sure that they are my paternal grandparents. If you are still looking for this information please let me know

[Dee3]

Hi Lunaaria,

Yes have made contact with a family member living in Tauranga, NZ.  Perhaps you are related to them?

regards Dee

Hi Dee

After talking to my Mum I think that it is my Auntie Gladys that you have been in contact with.  I am the daughter of Robert and Ella's youngest son.
