Davies and Dodd *COMPLETED*

[Lucy2]

Hi Ali

Herman certainly was a colourful character (I've just read the info presented on your Australian thread.)   

As it happens, he did have siblings - 2 sisters.

NZ Births

1882 - Evelyn Katherine

1888 - Dainty Winnefred - b. 5 January 1888   

[Parents:  Annie Elizabeth and Walter. ]

I've traced Dainty's birth to Timaru (in the South Island) - and this in turn led to finding further information for Walter.

Hi again

So I think you can be confident that the death found by Althea ( Reply # 6) ... is the right Walter DAVIES . 

Karori Cemetery, Wellington
CH ENG  -  Plot 181

DAVIES - Walter
Age 30 *   [See note]   Edit:  Should be 36 years
Occupation:  Draper
Buried :  20 April 1893

[Note:   The NZ Death Index shows he was 36 years of age (30 yrs. on cemetery record, appears to be an error).  ]

Thank you again Lu.
I cant keep up with you.

I have ordered Walter m Dodd marriage certificate to see if I can find details of both their fathers, and I have now ordered Walter's death certificate.
This genealogy business costs far too much.

The business between Pascoe and Davies didnt work out for long did it?  I assume that Walter continued on his own although he was dead 3 months later!!!

Thank you again, I am so grateful and so excited.

I am looking for the birth place of
Walter Davies and Annie Elizabeth Dodd who marriage in New Zealand in 1881.
Can anyone tell me how to find out if they both emigrated to New Zealand and where from.

Thank you
Ali

Haven't managed to find passenger lists which show when these people came to New Zealand (unfortunately not all lists are available).

Ideally, their marriage record should give you further information on places of birth and parents names.  These details were recorded for NZ marriages from the year 1881.

[If ordering the marriage record, be sure to request a "printout' of same - this gives the maximum amount of info (and is the less expensive option, also   ) ]

Or, as Althea has suggested, you may like to firstly request a look-up here, for the Intention to Marry notice (ITM) ?
See Resources section of this board for further details.
[It's not a substitute for the actual marriage record, but may offer helpful info.]

PS :   

Haven't found the death of Annie Elizabeth yet.
It may be that she re-married.    Exploring a few possibilities.

The daughter born 1888, married in 1918.

I have so enjoyed being "bogged".  Thank you again.  My sister is going to be amazed by all this information and I cant wait to tell her.



I cant remember now - are we sure that Walter Davies was notborn in New Zealand??
