Who did Ruth Finey marry?
« on: Tuesday 22 July 08 03:56 BST (UK) »
Hi there all,

Just me again with another insane marriage request.  Ruth Finey (also known as Dolly) born about 1896 in Auckland married a man by the name of Morris.  Got no other information other than that.

Can anyone find any record of a marriage between a Finey and a Morris?  If I have that then I may be able to find out where they are buried (as such...maybe). ;D

Cheers

Hi Buny,

Was Ruth her middle name?     I found a Hannah Ruth Finey married in 1918 to a Malcolm Nicol McCready  folio No: 0903, but divorced 1923-1924 BBAE 4984.

So far haven't been able to see a remarriage.   Maybe someone else might have a few more ideas where to look.

Cheers

Hey there KHP,

I honestly don't know if Ruth was a something Ruth or a Ruth something.  I have found many name differences along the way with people.  I've seen the same record but like you have no idea if it is relevant.  Will hope for a breakthrough somewhere.

Hi Bunny,

It was worth a try.  I guess she will pop up when she is ready and when you aren't looking for her, I have usually found that is the way.

Mk2, I got the information from the NZ Marriages 1836 - 1956 and from the NZSG Index Version 5.

Cheers

 Hey Bunny ;D

Just had a thought,  (sorry but didn't have my sherlock holmes hat on to dig deeper into the grey matter) "Dolly" is the diminutive of  "Dorothy".  So a possibility that Dorothy is one of her given names.

Hi there,

KHP - Hey, good thinking on the name front!  I'll keep it in mind  :D.

Mk2 - Nice to hear from you!  I got my info handed down through the family - just a list of names as much as anyone remembered and best guess dates.  Have been trying to glue stuff together.

Cheers

Hi there KHP,

You were right!  I found out from Polly that Ruth was indeed Hannah Ruth and that she had married Malcolm McCready that you found a later divorce for.  ;)

However that doesn't solve the mystery of what happened to her ???.

Does anyone have access to the NZ Burial Locator to see if it is possible to find a Hannah Ruth anybody??

Cheers

Bunny,   I was glad that I was able to help solve that mystery.     I think at the same time I checked my burial locator and couldn't find her under McCready.   Tried putting in her forenames but locator tells me has to be surname as well.

I will have a go on my NZSG Index putting in just Hannah Ruth and see what I get.

Will let you know how I go.

Cheers
