Cheers for that KHP!

I think I'll have to upgrade my NZSG Index too.  Did the search function improve any?

Agency AAbk
Series 18805
Accession W5544
Box/item 58
Record 0072217

Bunny, you said you would get a breakthrough, but I don't think you are there yet.

Came up with 33 records of Ruth (Elizabeth, Eliz) Hannahs,
(Lucy) Hannah (Mary) (May) Ruths (Maria)

There is only one marriage for a Ruth Hannah for 1929 and that is it.

Haven't been able to find anything under the name Morris either.

Wonder if she went overseas?  Still scratching my head on this

Cheers

Sorry forgot to say this came from the War Census CD. I know we are focusing on Hannah Ruth.  Think the marriage fiches will need to be searched for the Morris marriage.

Hey there KHP,

Sweet work!   Info is always good no matter what it is so I'm really grateful that you've managed to find what you have so far.  Nothing like being thorough 

I'll go get my shovel and dig about a bit and see if I can find out anything else.  I wish I knew where I got the Morris thing from.  May have to dig out all my original data to see where that came from.

You rock!

Cheers
Bunny

Hey Bunny,

While you are digging around with your shovel, how about checking the electoral rolls or Wises Directory for Whangarei, to see if they were in Whangarei around the time of marriage.   

Could be that he moved back there after the war

Nice to be able to help, look at the results before!

Cheers

That was pretty awesome, wasn't it.   I could go for that any day of the week.  You got the mojo.   Okay I'll move some earth and see what falls out...but I know he's not buried in Whangarei.

Where did everyone go this time?

Cheers
Bunny

I wonder if that was the world record for rootschat to have a result within a week.    They should do a guiness book of record on here .... you might be the top person.

Yeah, I checked the Whangarei cemetery and he is not there.

Morris .... could be a forename as well  ....

Cheers

Hi,
I can see that this one is in "completed requests" however I can't see the actual answer to the original question so I hope it is still OK to post to it.
Hannah Ruth (Dolly) Finey was my grandmother, so I can tell you a little about her life.
Her second husband was a Morris, my grandfather. He was an Australian, George Bernard, who was born in 1893. His birth and their marriage in 1930 is recorded in the New South Wales Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
I understand that Nana and Pop moved from NZ to Australia in about 1928, and Nana died in Sydney in 1988.
Thanks,
