KEMPSON of Nottingham & Australia

[majm]

that would explain it then

The Timaru Herald is online, but at present the digitised historical issues cover from  11 June 1864 - 31 December 1900

http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast

I understand that the digitisation process is an on-going one, so perhaps later this year the issues for 1901-1910 will be available online.

Well,
 advance apologies if I am missing a point here, but why is the death NOT indexed in the normal way that a death in that year would be?


Are you suggesting a misprint or such is concealing the index entry?

Also wondering the same as Sue,

particularly as I have not found a re-marriage for Eliza Winter, nor her death  recorded on that site.


Cheers,  JM

A NZ death for 85 y.o. Eliza Jane KEMPSON in 1910.
reg #1910/5662

The age would certainly 'fit'.

Essie

Yes Essie and she is buried in the same cemetery as a Henry KEMPSON who was buried in 1906  Why isn't his death reg on the NZ bdm?

I am rushed at the mo, so will return and give the link to the burial info.

Well found Cando

PS

I have started a thread on the NZ board asking for help re Henry KEMPSON's NZ d.c.

Henry was aged 90 at his death in 1906 as per Cando's good work .... 

Eliza was aged 85 at her death in 1910 as per Essie's good work ....

And along the way through many threads, there's all the usual RChatters, so many of us all helping the thread's original poster.

Hi All,

I have received some very kind advice via PM .... the following will have a familiar ring to several    It is possible that some of the quarterly returns are not online, (I suppose ....missed/not lodged/lost in the system etc) and thus an email to NZ BDM may be able to confirm if that applies for in this case... Also noted from the PM  It would be sensible to include a copy of the newspaper cutting.

I will leave the thread on the NZ boards open over the weekend, (just) in case  (of course)

Sevendays,  I know that several of us here on the Aussie Boards are aware that if a quarterly return has been missed, that there would be the local registration to fall back on, and it may well include the names of Henry's parents and also Henry's place of birth, and hopefully info about the earlier marriages.    There's also the funeral director's records, and the church records for the burial ....  And the newspaper cutting may well be found in a good family history library in NZ .... 

Many of the administrative procedures for NSW are similar to those in NZ, particularly in that pre WWI era.

Cheers,  JM

Speculating of course but ....

Elizabeth Winter married James Harvey 1 January 1843 at Adelaide .... again from a commercial online index, so some details have not made that index,  which shows Vol 1 and pg 28...
