Hi Beg

Did find that one, am waiting for it to turn up with other certificates.

The George FONG b Dunedin mother is an Elizabeth but not the right Elizabeth - have birth certificate. 

Yes have seen death notice

It would seem these is TWO Elizabeth

1) 1879 Elizabeth Ann
2) 1886 Elizabeth
3)  ? George
4)  abt 1889 Lily aka Lillian Elizabeth   
5)  1889 Eda Ellen


Was there and Industrial School for boys, as  the books I found the girls stated Girls Industrial School ?

Will keep you all posted thing turn up.

Regards

Hi KT...

The George FONG b Dunedin mother is an Elizabeth but not the right Elizabeth - have birth certificate. 

You win :-)

Out of interest, does the birth cert for George FONG mention a mother's maiden name (or previously married name). Would really like to trace him and find out where I went wrong.

NZETC has a little bit on an industrial school. Don't know if it's the Parnell one as I don't know Auckland

Thanks KT. I wasn't even close :-(

When I've a moment I think I'll trace the mother just out of curiosity.

Thanks
Beg

That's okay, I do the same , get sided track on to other bits.

Certainly a hard family to trace.

Hi K-T

Yes there were separate boys / girls industrial schools (sorry, can't help with specific names for those in the Auckland area.)

Have you had a look at what's available here ?

FONG George b 9 July 1883 9 Princes St Dunedin
Father: Ah FONG aged 45  Born China
Mother Elizabeth nee Young FONG aged 26 Born Ireland
married 15 April 1875 Christchurch

When searching earlier for records of children of Elizabeth / Ellen, I happened upon the following at FamilySearch.  [ It's submitted info with no source quoted.]
At the time I thought it interesting in that it had a reference to Auckland;  was for a "George FONG" with a mother named Elizabeth, and the date of birth was remarkably close to that of the George born in Dunedin.    

George Young FONG
Birth:    5 July 1883 - Auckland, NZ
Father:   Thomas Young FONG
Mother:   Elizabeth

And now the Dunedin George's birth record reveals that his mother's maiden name was "YOUNG".    

Hmmm   ....

Superb as ever Lucy

I'm back in the running :-)

EDIT:
And her birth year is only a couple off Elizabeth DOUGLAS

EDIT2:
And there's no record of the 1875 Chch marriage at BDM NZ or on the NZSG Marriages CD.
Will need to check the BDM NZ Marriages fiche to be sure (and ultimately the ITM's)
