It's only strange if you failed to read reply # 67.

Hi Karen

Re:   reply # 71  -  Otago Nominal Index  :

For what it's worth, I have already searched these listings earlier.

Because the only occupation you have for James' father John HENDERSON is - 1897 "Carter" -  the Nominal list is, (in my opinion) of no use whatsoever in this search.   

Certainly John may have had another occupation during time spent in Dunedin.   That fact is, we don't know what that occuption might have been ... nor do we know how long he remained in Dunedin.

Women don't appear on NZ Electoral rolls until 1893 (if indeed they bothered to register at that time).    I haven't found a John and Jane HENDERSON in Dunedin in 1893.

Hi Karen

That sound good.     

We seem to be going around in circles with this search at the moment, don't we.

Hi Karen & Lu

Here is a John Henderson who is almost old enough to be James 's Father
He has a brother (and possibly another relative) named James so could have called his eldest son James

hi, update we have the Marriage C back of lilly vercoe married to william devin and it says she was a widow on the 28th feb 1916.

hmm the only james henderson that died isnt him

so wandering if she has made this all up, even wander if james has taken off to oz.so this leaves us no were but at a brick wall.

only hope is to maybe track down buy a family member who knows what happen to him. and our chances are finding another sibling to james henderson is bit slim. that takes us back to dunedin looking for his parents john and jane hall.

any ideas most welcome
thanks

Hi Karen

Did you ever purchase the other birth printout, for the James HENDERSON born Dunedin, in 1865 ?

[I know you've said a rellie got the 1863 birth cert.]

 that takes us back to dunedin looking for his parents john and jane hall.

     Easier said than done.

So how do we go about that ?       

I'm sure we would have found them by now if it was that easy.
