'The Deserters' by Rae Sexton "COMPLETED"

[tomtom2004]

Hello

I found this entry on a website ,

NOCTOR Denis 22y, 29-1-1856 Bay Of Islands. Born Glenaley, Wicklow

The entry is take from 'The Deserters' by Rae Sexton and The Author of the website mentioned that the book might have further details on some of those listed and would be happy to check. I have tried send an email but it bounced back to me.

Would anyone here have a copy of the book and be kind enough to check if there is any further information on Denis I would be very interested as I think he may have been one of my ancestors.


Thanking You

Tom

Hi...If you have no luck on the board there are a dozen or so libraries throughout the country which have a copy. Maybe someone might be able to visit one for you.

Just go to the NZ Libraries catalogue and enter Rae Sexton Deserters. Once the search result appears you're looking for "Title has multiple holdings"....

Thank you all for the suggestions.  I have followed up on Johns and sent an email requesting the Gazette entry. Would I be right in thinking that the book is a collection of such entries.  I will let you know when I recieve  a reply. I will leave this thread open until then if thats ok with the moderator.

Thanks again

This is a summary from colonial books on the gazettes
The New Zealand Gazette - The official newspaper of the New Zealand Government and is produced every Thursday by the New Zealand Gazette Office, Department of Internal Affairs.
Bankruptcy Notices - Company Notices:- Appointment and Release of Receivers / Managers - Applications for Winding Up / Liquidations - Appointment and Release of Liquidators - Meetings & Last Dates by Which to Prove Debts or Claims - Removals - Dissolutions - Cessation of Business in New Zealand - Partnership Notices  - Land Transfer Notices - Charitable Trusts Notices - Friendly Societies and Credit Unions Notices - Incorporated Societies Notices - General Notices - Changes of Name - Nurses, Doctor's and Teachers Registers - Justice of the Peace - Native Land Court Dealings - Native Adoptions - Military Notices

Bound copies were published each year, some have 2 volumes.
Many large libraries have copies of these in their reference section.
So if you are in a city, it may pay to ask there..but you should have success via the email

If you ever get the chance to read the Gazettes in person they are a wonderful source of information.
The Treasury at Thames has a large collection from about 1880s.
