COMPLETED - Youd to New Zealand 1878 - 1883
« on: Thursday 19 March 09 21:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm looking for Robert Moreton Youd and George Youd who emigrated to New Zealand between 1878 and 1883.

Robert Moreton Youd was born 1846, Cheshire England and appears in the 1871 census with wife Eliza.  Eliza died in Cheshire in 1878.  Robert then appears having children with wife "Annie" from 1883 onwards in New Zealand.

Robert's brother George was born 1855 in Cheshire, England.  He is in the 1871 England census but not 1881 and appears having children from 1883 onwards in New Zealand with wife "May".

I've checked some online passenger lists but can't find when they went to New Zealand (or did they go via somewhere else?) and can't see either of their marriages.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to research?

Thanks

Caicos

Hi
Not sure if you have already seen these...

ARCHWAY, appearsd to have entries for both Robert and George and both of their wives. Looks like "May" was in actual fact, Alice May.
http://archway.archives.govt.nz/Home.do

Both women appear to ben interred in Purewa Cemetery (Alice May 1908, Annie 1969)

Cheers

Wow!  What a quick response.

Thank you Lu and Althea!

I couldn't find either marriage on http://bdmhistoricalrecords.identityservices.govt.nz/Home/  so that marriage is a bonus.  

Thank you both again,

Caicos

No wonder I couldn't find it!

I've seen lots of mistranscriptions but there doesn't seem to be a wildcard or soundex search.  I wonder what George is indexed as!

Interesting to see the bankruptcy record for George, thanks to all for the links and extra information.

Hi Althea 

WOW !   Clever you  ... well done ! :)

Found Robert's marriage on the CD  ... but nothing for George (even using soundex  ... and a few other "tricks")

Hmmm  ... puzzling.
