WYATT William died Hamilton West 1904

[Kiwi007]

hi Lu,

Many thanks for the NOY marriage - I posted a message earlier this morning but it isn't on the board...it has vanished....

Since then, I found the death for Stephen and Beatrice ELLIS - they are buried at Waikumete, AKL,,he died 1947 and she died aged 70 in 1960.

I would love to know if they had children. He was 14 years older than Beatrice.

I also mentioned in the earlier post ( it may re-appear) that I dug up an old sheet of NOY info and in faint ink there is note that says Ruth Matilda WYATT had 3 sisters - Margaret, Ginny & Mercy. No mention of Edith - unless Edith was known by another name. If this is accurate, then  1 or 2 more daughters must have been born after the NZ arrival in 1875...maybe this explains the HEALD connection!!

Anyway, I will await the new info when you are up and about:-))

Cheers

Hi Kiwi

[Was just about to post the HEALD info]. 

Clever you ... well done on finding the ELLIS people.   

I will see if I can find death notices for you, for Stephen and Beatrice.

Ruth Matilda's,  WYATT sisters   .... Mmmm   - probably just two marriage possibilities to choose from (unless Margaret was a 2nd christian name).     As for "Ginny" - usually a diminutive of "Virginia" ... but of course could be just a nickname ??  (No Virginia/Ginny on M/ Index).

I wonder if you went back to PapersPast and those articles (re: their schooling), whether you might find these other daughters - same school, but in later years ??

  ...   possible marriages  ?

Margaret Annie WYATT
George William HALL
Year - 1898    (Folio #  1382)


Margaret Jane WYATT
Edgar James CHITHAM
Year - 1912     (Folio #  0030)

"Ginny"  ... Georgina ??   (In 1917 a Georgina May WYATT marrying a "JONES" ?     Bit of a longshot though).

A bit more....

Just found the deaths of

 Rita Phyllis HALLIDAY 1889- 1964- aged 75, buried with husband William HALLIDAY 1887 - 1972 at Hamilton cemetery

Also:
Renee Bell DIGGENS 1898 - 1993 - Purewa Cemetery - aged 95!
Possibly married William Livingston DIGGENS

Someone that intrigues me is Joseph Woods WYATT 1905- 1994 who is buried at Hamilton - Ruth Matilda's maternal grandfather was Joseph WOODS.

Must go, hopefully a few more clues will come to light!

Cheers

HEALD

John George Proud HEALD - d. 1969 - buried Waikumete
[buried in same plot - Clara HEALD - died 1965 aged 96] :

Probate record at Archives NZ (Auckland )
HEALD - John George Bell Proud - 1969
[Appears to be for the person of same name (above) - and occupations are same ]:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Sourced from funeral notice)  ...  John George Proud HEALD d. 23 July 1969, was the son of the late Clara and John HEALD.   (The names of his sister and a nephew appear in notice).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no marriage showing on NZ index for "a Clara and John".
(Nothing either for a "Clara PROUD" marrying):

On FREE BMD UK there is a Dec. 1894 HEALD / WOOD  marriage at Prestwich, Lancashire which looks a possibility - also the birth of a HEALD daughter (same place) which may be the dau/sister (have found her cemetery record for age comparison) ??

From "findmypast" website ... a HEALD family (near match for ages and names) arriving at Wellington NZ, 1899  ??

                                 -----------------------------

So I think, despite the name on that probate record looking so promising, that this family is probably not connected.   (But hey, I've been proven wrong before).

Hello again Lu!

I was working on that last post most of the day in between customers so didn't see your posts til just now........hmmmm...about George Bell PROUD to Agnes. I know that George and his wife ( Mrs PROUD) went to England in 1913 - and since you advise of this marriage I checked my info - his first wife had died in 1903 so this second marriage is most likely - a bit soon as Sarah died 18 Aug 1903.
George was buried in the same row almost near Sarah when he died 1920. No sign of Agnes PROUD's death yet.
That was a really good find - amazing what turns up eh!

Papers past only have 3 sisters showing up but the papers only go to 1886 - the younger girls would apear after that probably for exams and singing etc.

Margaret Wyatt is a conundrum - I will check deaths tomorrow ( as I have to leave now )
As for Ginny....what a nightmare trying to find this name :0))

talk again soon

Cheers
Kiwi
