Cameron/Levy/Marks - birth Query

[lozzab]

Hi LU,
yesterday I trawled through Papers Past for the name "Couldrey" (Stewart's middle name)
There are several references to Messrs HYDE and COULDREY.  They hosted several gatherings/games days for children in Wairoa between Christmas and New Years - for several years.  It appears that Thomas HYDE and George COULDREY ran business (a store) together.  In another newspaper article a Martha HYDE married a Henry POYNTER and the bridesmaids were 2 Misses HYDES and 2 Misses COULDREY.  The article goes on to say the bridesmaids were "all of differnet families though related".

Another article says George COULDREY arrived NZ 1863 aboard the "Annie WILSON"

More evidence of the HYDEand COULDREY being connected and Ernest being Edgar HYDE??

Hi Loz   

Yes, those are the articles I found earlier and I'm pretty sure that Edgar HYDE is part of this particular HYDE/COULDREY clan who were in the Wairoa South/Clevedon area.   (And that school record for Edgar shows that in the 1880's, he was at Clevedon school).

Thomas HYDE and George COULDREY also ran a boat/ferry service (before they had the store - or it may have been part of that business ?).     

The Thomas HYDE referred to, is listed on the IGI with a (first wife) named Sarah COULDREY ??     (They had one son -William ? from memory - and he was not the father of Edgar - so there has to be some other Hyde/Couldrey connection?)
And somewhere I read also, that this Thomas had previously been in Adelaide, which makes me wonder if that might be where the COULDREY link comes from ?
Gawd ... sorting out these other "related" families though, is a bit complicated !   

I think it might be a good idea, to get Edgar HYDE's 1876 birth cert. ?      Especially to confirm his mother's maiden name.

I'll take another look at these articles.

[Lucy2]

   ---   BIRTHS     (reg'd at St. Neots)

Sept - 1858
HYDE - Frederick

March - 1860
HYDE - James

Dec - 1866
HYDE - Elizabeth  (Lizzie ??)

Sept - 1868
HYDE - Annie  (Anne ??)

(Will need to take a closer look for the other children).

Hmmm  ... so (with the marriage above and these other children also reg'd. at "St. Neots" ), looking like very much like Edgar's family !!

(??  Seems like Edgar (1876) might have been the last of the line ?)

Wow guys,
thanks for all the info!  I'd tried to look for Charles and Eliza's marriage on Free BMD but couldn't find It - thanks Lu!  This is so exciting - I wish I didn't ahve to go to work this arvo!

Lu - do you think George was possible Sarah COULDREY'S brother? - and that's how the Couldrey line continued in NZ?
