Quelch / McKeon - Auckland??

[maggie49]

Hi to all

Bunny - Good to hear from you again.  I will get copies of photos of Tom, and get them to you.  Wasn't it lucky Dad's stepmother kept that album after she married my grandfather!!!

Hernebay - I have emailed you, so hope the message gets through - if so you can reply to me by email with your details, but can also keep posting on this site with any information you have so others that are interested can keep up with the story.

KaeDee - Sorry I couldn't help you, but the Quelches made a habit of having the same names in different branches of the family - there were 2 Myrtle Eva Quelch - Harriet's daughter that we have been researching, and one of Harriet's brothers also had a Myrtle Eva Quelch.  Very tricky for trying to sort out who you are actually looking at/for.

Cheers
Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Oh, you are a love!  I'll PM you.

I have been looking but I can't find any trace of Myrtle Eva Quelch who was born in 1906 to Harry and Martha Quelch.  Myrtle would have been 5 when her parents divorced in 1911.  It is possible that she was 'adopted' if Martha remarried and changed her surname.  This makes it quite hard to track her down.  There are no marriages for a Martha Elizabeth Quelch, but there is a marriage in 1912 for a Martha Elizabeth Smith (maiden name) to an Archibald Bradley.  A death for a Martha Elizabeth Bradley in 1926 proves not to be her as that one lived all her life in Otago - where I need Auckland.  And the marriage in 1912 is for the Otago Martha - so definitely not that one.

I wonder where Martha and Myrtle went?

Cheers,
Bunny
