WAHLERS Lookup please

Hi Alan

The marriages were up to 1956.

Sorry, can't help with NZ - UK voyages.
Don't think there would be any reocrds kept as there wouldn't have been any government involvement as with the assissted immigrants.

Hi Bren

Noted re dates for marriages....presumably records that are searchable only go up to 1956 in NZ.  I think in UK we can get up to 1993 from BMD Records, it may even be more recent.

I will follow up on death certificates for NZ in due course, but am now awaiting the delivery of the marriage certificate for Charles Ernest WAHLERS from NZ to try to link back to Lancashire for his birth.

Regards

Alan

Hi Alan

The CD covers the dates I mentioned.

ALL NZ Births, Marriages & Deaths are available on fiche up to 1990, although I believe that somewhere in Auckland they have them up to 1997.

Hi Bren

A follow-up to your comment re ship voyage records....you mentioned assisted places....do you know if there are any records listing those who took up assisted places say from england to NZ?

Hi Alan

Plenty!!, but you need to know a year and ship as they are not indexed by passenger name.

hi Bren

Just a quick reply......looked/searched at all these....nothing at all but noted that most ships on this are before 1890 and therefore probably too early...will try and find some other ship lists.....

Hi Bren , Stephanie, Mk2_Zephyr and Bee29

As a follow up I can now report receipt of marriage certificate for CHARLES ERNEST WAHLERS which now proves link back to Lancashire area of England.  I must follow up in the UK or Germany for further search for ancestors before 1840.

There is still more to learn about the NZ/Australia connection of the WAHLERS family, but I appreciate all your help.  If I can assist you in return in any way from the UK I will be happy to.  Also if you bump into the WAHLERS name at any time......

Having spent two fabulous holidays in NZ in recent years my wife and I have appreciated the warmth and welcome of the people of NZ.  I am sure we will be back soon and we envy you in your fantastic country.

Regards

Alan
