Have you been onto scotlandspeople.gov.uk ?  You'll find marriage and birth certificates there, I'm low on credits so can't help you with specifics but I can see there's a George G Spink marrying a Jane Foster in Dundee in 1912 or a George Gold Spink marrying a Jane Ann Rennie in Forfar in 1912 (Must be the latter given the middle name of their future son?).  The birth certs of the children will contain the mother's maiden name to confirm. 

There are 67 Spinks in Arbroath in 1901 census and 181 in all of Angus so you'll find lots to go on.

Sad to say the spinkancestors site is off the web now. However auchmithieroots is ongoing and the spinkancestor creator is on that site. Hopefully you will be able to go further with your research from there.

hi and thanks to all , i am trying to find out when george gold spink left for new zealand and what ship and the year i think is around 1918  ish there must be a regester in uk of departues or i have tryed here to no  result

there must be a regester in uk of departues

Not necessarily. The authorities in the UK were not really interested in who was leaving the country, so passenger lists tended to go with the ship and be recorded on arrival. To the best of my knowledge and belief, there was no formal system for collecting passenger lists in the UK, though some are now being collected retrospectively.
