Hello John

   ... and welcome.   

Is it deaths / burials, of your McKIE people, you are perhaps looking for ?

You might like to have a look at our PapersPast website ... there's one Wanganui newspaper there that goes up to 1919.

Might this be your Sarah McKIE ?   (Wife of the late James)

Hi there,

Do you have access to Ancestry's NZ elec rolls, I have just had a quick squiz and the names you mention are listed in the rolls,

ie: 1928 has ...Thompson & Daisy living at 320 Avenue, Wanganui, Thompson is listed as a wool storeman. There is also a William James at 3 Church place, Wanganui, occupation Labourer.

There was no street name on the 1928 just avenue on the 1935 it has them at 320 VICTORIA avenue.

Thompson McKie died 1947 aged 55 y
William James McKiie died 1941 also aged 55y (another of the same name died 1909 aged 21y -perhaps the one Lu has found the widow of).
Victoria McKie died 1970 aged 82y.

Thanks for those messages

I think we are on the right track....
I had a look at the newspapers and found the Death for Sarah Mckie.. i think it is the right person.

Considering i am going off some notes that my Great Grandmother wrote down, 16 years ago at the age of 90 odd ... Looks like she had a good memory. These Mckies arrived in NZ in 1913 and my Grt Grandmother knew them..

How can i find out if any of them married ..? or had children.

thanks for the help

John

Hello again..

Just to add a bit more.. i  thought i had best put down all the Mckies i have as going to New Zealand in 1913 on board the "Arrawa"

They sailed to the port of\or Wellington

Sarah Mckie, widow of James Mckie who died back home in England
William James Mckie
Hannah J Mckie
Thompson Mckie, think he came over during the war c1914-1918, and ws in the army 16 and 17 Lancers
Wilson Mckie
George Mckie
James Mckie
Ernest Mckie, Grandson of Sarah Mckie, so obviously one of the children will be Ernests parent

Cheers
