Davies and Dodd *COMPLETED*

[Lucy2]

Here's the link to the Dunedin Cemeteries database  >>

http://www.dunedin.govt.nz/

Click on "Cemeteries Search" .

[They have a note there regarding "accuracy of records". ]

You'll see there are 3 records for "Herman (and variants) DODD".

The one labelled as "Herman F. DODD" would seem to relate to the disinterrment of the Herbert who died in 1899 ?
[There doesn't appear to have been a "3rd Herman DODD" who died in New Zealand in 1902.  The record gives dates of death and burial but is probably in error ?   1902 is the year that Herman's wee daughter Winifred died, and he has been re-buried with her.   The letter "F" in the name I think should probably be "T" (for Tankersley) ?  ]

*  Bethany Tankersley DODD - record shows her as "male".   

*   The "Elizabeth Jane WALTON" buried with Herman jun. and Winifred May DODD, is the sister of Herman's wife, May Wood DODD (nee LONG).   [Elizabeth Jane LONG (m. Walton) b. 1879 - d/o Mary and Robert LONG.]

*  Catherine DODD (d.1948) is the 2nd wife of Herman DODD Snr.

Hi Ali

Just to finish up with, some info on Annie Elizabeth.

She did re-marry after the death of Walter.

LADD  -  DAVIES

On 1st  July 1895 at Wellington, Henry LADD ......

Full text at ...
"Otago Witness" - 5 September 1895 - Marriages page 27

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

But not able to find her death on the NZ index ??  [Have tried "LADD" and all manner of variants ... plus DAVIES (and var.].

The closest I've got is  >>

1899 - DAVIS [sic] - Annie - 42 years    (bc  1857 )

More advise please.
How would I find the record of Herman George Davies conviction of 2 years hard labour in NZ in about 1915-1917?

Hi Ali

Wasn't Herman George DAVIES actually convicted and sentenced, in Australia  (January 1915)

Thanks again Lu.
Yes, you are right, Herman G T Davies was convicted and sentence in Australia, I was reading the court case today.  I will see what I can find in the Australian records.

Omitted to post this earlier ... but it may be of interest ?

Archives New Zealand (Dunedin) office, hold the following probate record.

DODD - Henry Hermann - Dunedin - Draper - 1906

[Unfortunately we do not have anybody doing look-ups in the Dunedin area at present, but the record is available directly from Archives NZ (Dunedin) - cost is about $20 to $25 NZ.]

"Otago Witness"  - 8 May 1907 - "Deceased Persons' Estates - page 38

[Article gives names of sizeable estates being dealt with by the Stamp Department (stamp duties being applied ? ). ]

Otago Region

Henry DODD -  L 21,139   (twenty one thousand, one hundred and thirty nine pounds).

[I'm pretty sure the above relates to Herman (Henry Herman(n) ) DODD.   He died mid-December 1906, so it's reasonable to expect that matters concerning his estate, were still be dealt with in May 1907.]

Hi to all those writing about the Davies, Tankersley and Dodd families,

Imagine my surprise to log on and find people talking about my family and filling in the links that I have not been able to find before. I am Herman Dodd's great grand daughter (Through his second marriage to Catherine MacAskill) My grandfather, John Henry Dodd, only passed on snippets about his half brothers and sisters and as time has gone on there are less and less people still alive who know very much. An uncle of mine had done quite a bit of research but there were still holes. I would love to make contact with whoever was making progress on the Dodd/ Tankersley connection and maybe share what I have.
