gap in family tree

[Diggit]

Trying to trace what happened to  a member of our extended family. His name was George Walter Roche, born 1900 in London. We think he emigrated to N.Z in 1928 because we found a George Walter Roche on the passenger list of the Rimutaka. Don't know how to proceed. Advice appreciated.

Hi Diggit

The marriage record for George Walter ROCHE and Laura ADAMS should offer you a good deal of information with which to advance your search.

Details at ~

http://www.bdm.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/

[It is recommended that you purchase a "printout" (rather than a certificate) as this is a less-expensive option and also generally offers more information].

Mk-2 Zephyr has already mentioned that the marriage took place in 1930.

The reference from the NZ Marriage Index is
>  George Walter ROCHE m. Laura Winifred ADAMS - 1930 [Folio # 06723] :  [Note:   This index does not state the place of marriage]:

Good luck with your search.

I am afraid i still have L plates on my computer and i am not having much luck with this site.

how do i get into the marriage index?

[Mk2_Zephyr]

the Marriage index we use is a Society of Genealogists CD, which can be bought from them on the SOG link above.


or there are fiche in most local librarys.

There are no online searchable indexes for births, deaths or marriages for NZ records.
