Thomas Bennett McBeth Marriage! Parents' death or anything

[sparrett]

Hi All,
My first excursion to NZ boards.  I have not had much success with this search when going it alone with the listed resources.  Inexperience I think!

From the usual UK sources....
 THOMAS BENNETT McBETH [sometimes Beunett?] born 1850.
He died in Sydney Australia in 1924.

Parents were William Mcbeth and Charlotte [nee Roffe] who married 1847, St Martin
Mother, Charlotte and child Thomas Bennett McBeth are on 1851 census. Cannot see the family after that.

Meantime my Great grandmother's sister is born in c. 1850 in Stepney Middx.
She is Elizabeth Catherine Mary MASON. Parents, James Samuel and Eliza[nee Hayes][Details in hand]
She died Sydney, NSW 1941

She is with her family in 1861.

 In 1875 in NEW ZEALAND a boy is born named
Thomas Albert George Mcbeth
Place WAITAMI. NZ

Another searchers' information  from internet gives me this DOB & Place of birth for Thomas Albert George. Says he was born in WAITAMI. 

 Thomas  Albert George McBeth died in Sydney, NSW 1959 and his parents are listed as  listed as  THOMAS BENNETT MCBETH and Elizabeth Catherine.
 
When I google WAITAMI, google says 'Do you mean WAITAME?' and I have to say 'I don't know '

I have a passenger list showing a Thomas McBeth travelling from Auckland to Sydney in 1871 aboard  'Hero'.

Can anyone help me to find the marriage of Thomas Bennett McBeth and Elizabeth Mason.  It is not obvious in NSW, so I am thinking it was in NZ.

Any information on his parents, William  Mcbeth and Charlotte would be most welcome too.

Thanks,
Sue

Oh Thanks Bren,
That is fantastic!

I have not been quite sure till this moment that the points of the story were on the right track.

Looks like they had time to contemplate marrying while they gazed at the baby!

Are you able to shed any light on the Waimati versus Waimate issue?

Sue

[DotBrennan]

Hi Sue

Given your first spelling of "Waitami", I was thinking:
Waitaki
Waitangi
Waitati

The best way to confirm this is to check the fiche for Births.
I was at the Library only this morning, so won't be going again just yet....

What does his death cert say for pob?


Bren.

[sparrett]

Hi Bren,
No, I don't have his cert. and probably won't get it as he is in the twig rather than branch category.
That of course would settle things.
The spelling from the other researcher is WAIMATI.

I will do bit more google map work!
Thanks Bren,
Sue

Thank you Mk2_Zephyr for replying with help on  the name of the place.

I appreciate your kindheartedness in going out of your way for my twig.

It seems that is what we all do on RC. - myself included over the many years.

The forum is founded on curiosity and generosity,  so there is no need to admonish.   

Who knows, maybe I'll  be able to go out of my way similarly for you one day.  Hope so!

Hi Sue
Welcome 
Can't see a Thomas McBEth on the 1881 or 1891 electoral rolls
and nothing on the BUrial locator Cd or archives
Sorry
Lots of Mcbeth entries at Papers past
http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast that may be worth a trawl

Bye
Althea

Hi Althea,
Thanks for checking the rolls.
It looks as if they departed for Australia before 1881 then.

The son Thomas Albert George married in Sydney in 1907.

I am very happy to have the information I have from this board.
