DODD Family

Sometimes the online cemetery records in NZ (and particulary those on the Dunedin database), allow us to learn a persons' birthplace and how many years they have spent in New Zealand.   Unfortunately though, no such luck in the case of the wider DODD family.   :(

Bethany DODD (mother of Annie Elizabeth) died at Dunedin on 1 February 1885 aged nearly 59 years.  (bc 1826)

Her death notice thankfully is helpful - it tells that she was the d/o Robert TANKERSLEY of Gainsborough, ENGLAND.  

I don't have access to Census transcripts but see that the indexes (at "findmypast") show a Bethany TANKERSLEY b. 1827 residing in Gainsborough (Lincolnshire) in 1841 / 1851.
[Have not found anything conclusive on UK census for Herman  / Henry Herman DODD. ]

Hi Ali
when you are back online wonder how much of your original query has been sorted
Quote
Please could anyone help.
I am looking for the birth place of
Walter Davies and Annie Elizabeth Dodd who marriage in New Zealand in 1881.  I cannot find a record of their birth in New Zealand or UK (well not accurately anyway, Davies is a very common name).
Can anyone tell me how to find out if they both emigrated to New Zealand and where from.

Bye
Althea

Yes, well it's all info found along the way - seems something of a waste, not to let Ali have it.   ;D   Wouldn't you agree ?   :D
