How do i find New Zealand bmd stuff???

[BENS]

All I have is names and d.o.b.  and an area they went to, and would like some advice on how I can trace NZ ancestors who emigrated there around 1920.

Anyone got any advice???
Thanks

Welcome to Rootschat Bens

There are some links in the sticky topics at the top of the NZ board .. You could start by looking to see if the name is mentioned in probate records ... otherwise post the name on the NZ board and see if any chatters with access to electoral rolls or bmd discs can help you with a date to order a certificate ...

ps... no bmd online... if you do have some idea of an area you could search for cemeteries online...

Hi GT

Kind of new to all this and not sure about how to reply to you personally.?!
Info I have is sketchy really, but the surname of SCRIMIGER is one. Christina  b.1895 and John K . They emigrated to somewhere near Aukland about 1923. Often wondered what happened to them. Also RIDING, margaret b. 1883 and Ernest and I think a child called Jessie. They were near Taihape?. Northcote area but they could have moved.
I know it's a bit vague, but anything would be appreciated.
Thank You
Bens

I entered Scrimiger into the Auckland area cemeteries ..main ones being Waikumete, Purewa and Hillsborough and Waikaraka with no result.

Northcote is part of Auckland northshore, Taihape is a town near the middle of the North Island.

After a couple of postings you will see a little green scroll under our user names then you can send a personal message. Put the curser on the green scroll or under the user name and you will get the idea in no time ...

Hi Bens

There is a probate for John Knowles SCRIMIGER at Archives:
http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/
If I have time tomorrow when I am down in Wellington, I will have a look at it for you.
Looks like they may also have had a daughter Dorothy…

also probates for 2 Ernest RIDING (father & son??)
