Cameron/Levy/Marks - birth Query

[lozzab]

HI Lu and others - thanks for your fantastic help!!

Found the other Hyde sister, Harriet's marriage - she married Alexander CRAWFORD 1873.

Back to the COULDREY'S - George and Maria (can't find their marriage - but she was listed on same ship as George in 1863)

Their children - Louisa b: 1866 (never married - died 1942)
Florence - 1870 (married Hector Hugh GEORGE in 1896 and
George b:1876 (married Jane Alexandina MUNRO in 1901)

Lu - in that marriage article - W. COULDREY was the bestman.  I have found a William COULDREY marrying a Jessie Sutherland GEORGE (Hector's sister?)1901 but I'm not sure yet which COULDREY family HE BELONGS TO!!

George's brother, Robert and wife Emily Sophie, came out with one daughter, Bessie and then had another, Sarah.

So the bridesmaids must have been one of George's daughter's, one of Robert's daughter's, one of Thomas HYDE'S daughter's and one of Charles HYDE'S daughter's?

This is amazing from knowing nothing about this line just a few weeks ago to all this - it's great!!

Loz,

Have you traced the Levy and Jones/Jonas families roots in London (Great Synagogue records, etc.)?

Henry had 8 siblings, and large number of uncles and aunts.

Hi Loz

Good work !   

Harriet CRAWFORD appears to have died in 1936 aged 87 !
(Couldn't find any issue for this couple ?   Alexander possibly died in 1895 ?   And there's a probate record for that name - at Whatawhata in the Waikato area ??)

Like you, neither could I find a George COULDREY marriage - with bride "Maria" -  (may be indexed under a weird spelling perhaps ?)

Robert and Emily Sophia's daughter Bessie, was born NZ in 1884.

"Mr. W. COULDREY, of Maraetai, best man at the HYDE/POYNTER wedding 1891" :   

This looks to be "William COULDREY - farmer of Maraetai on 1893 electoral roll".
[Also at Maraetai same year - COULDREY -George, (farmer) Maria, Louisa and  ... Edwin (farmer) ].

   ----   Edwin COULDREY

Died 1942 - aged 72  - (bc 1870)

... must be son of George and Maria  ... can't see a birth rego for him in NZ ?

Lu

[Lucy2]

 ----   "Twin daughters of Mr and Mrs Charles HYDE - b. 1872"

Hmmm ... their births were announced in the local newspaper ...  BUT ... have now checked the registration districts for births of four HYDE children that year ... AND ... it appears the twins were not officially registered.

[BIRTHS - 1872 - HYDE :  Agnes Kate (reg. Wellington), Alfred Hammond (Nelson), Eliza Elizabeth (Cambridge) and Lily Maria (at Christchurch) ].

All the other children of Charles and Eliza seem to have had only a single christian name - so expect the twins did have too ?

Might be worth seeking a schools records look up to see if they can be found ?    Edgar was 4 years younger and firstly at Clevedon School, then transferred to Tuakau school in 1884.

   ----  Ooooh !     And dig this !!!!        

Eliza HYDE  -  died, aged 99 years   -  in 1931  !!!

Have just found burials for Charles (1901) and Eliza (1931) at Tuakau Cemetery ... M/I's available too (will get these for you also).

So that 1901 probate is the correct one.   (And I think there might be one also for Eliza ??)

Lu

Added:    YES, probate record at Archives NZ, Auckland,  for "Eliza HYDE - Tuakau - widow - 1931" :

HI Lu,
Aahh - that's interesting that william was with George and Edwin.  I found a marriage, children and death for Edwin but didn't know where he fitted in.  So - you do think maybe that William and Edwin were both George and Maria's sons?  There is also Herbert Arbon COULDREY b :1873.

I suppose the only way I can confirm is to get George's death certificate?

The jigsaw puzzle is slowly coming together!!

Hi- I have traced some of the Levy family just using the Census records so far.. How do you check the Great Synagogue Records?

Loz,

The records are online in various Excel and PDF files. But I've already compiled them for you!

You've got a large family to research now.
