BDM look-up for LEVY and CAMERON

[lozzab]

hi,

My g/father, Jack Ernest CAMERON was born in Wellington, NZ on 07/09/1905. He came to Sydney, Australia with siblings and parents when he was about 4 years old.

His parents were Ernest CAMERON(b:@1875 - NZ) and Adela LEVY(b:@1876 - NZ).  - I believe they married in about 1902 in Wellington, NZ.
 Is someone able to tell me the exact year and folio number for their marriage so I can order a printout/certificate?

I don't know Ernest CAMERON'S parents names but do know that Adela's father's name was Henry LEVY(b :@1837) and her mother's name was Leah (surname n/k - b:@1842).

This is my first foray into trying to track the NZ side of the family down - would appreciate any help/advice!!

Thanks,
Loz

Thanks for your replies.  Is there anyway of checking Henry and Leah's death folio numbers.  I think I found them on the Wellington Burial site with Leah Levy being buried on 24/09/1919 and Henry Levy buried 17/09/1918 both at Karori Cemetery.

Ernest Cameron and Adela emigrated to Australia in about 1907/1908 with their 4 children.   It was a theory of my Aunt's that they didn't actually get married as she was a Jew and they ended up coming to australia to get away from the family disapproval!

I have both their Australian death certificates which state they were married in NZ in about 1902.

thanks again,

Loz

YOu can order the certs, given you have the exact year you want.
MAybe thats why we can't find any marriage, because there wasn't one

One thing I have found is that on a school record Adela's birthdate is 13 jun 1876, Porewa Rangitikei School Admission date 25 april 1887, last school Wellington area. Guardian Mr Levy, Wellington

There are several School Inspector reports that come up with her name, for further info Archives NZ Wellington.

Ok - thanks Althea.
Can I bother you one more time??
Can you have a looka t the school records to see if Ernest Cameron is on there?  He was born about 1876 - I believe in Wellington but I don't know his parents names yet.

Thanks again,
Loz
