I often do what I am asked to do.  I have been asked to post here that

Thomas Tandy was baptised 15 September 1824 in Radford Semele, Warwickshire, England

If this is relevant to anyone posting on this thread, please say so and I will add more details.

I do hope that you are not falling into the familiar trap of taking an established tree and just bolting your stuff onto it.  I am UK and an ancestor of mine is Tandy.  Tandy is a very popular name in the UK.  All I know is that "my" Thomas Tandy was baptised 15 September 1824 in Radford Semele, Warwickshire, England.  He had siblings Mary, William and Hannah and his parents are William Tandy 1795-1854 and Elizabeth Wilson 1796-1854.  It makes life so easy to say Oh That's Good - but do you have anything to add - a date of birth would do - probably nothing else would distinguish this one from lots and lots of other Tandy's.

Thanks for your messages. Wow, I hadn't logged in to this for a very long time as the 'Bertha' story is now complete for me.

The Thomas Tandy I had been seeking via this thread was Bertha's son (and I remain grateful for the help of the reseachers in here), for whom I now have a birth certificate stating he was born in 1850 in New Zealand. I also have the marriage certificate for Bertha and Thomas Tandy (which indicates a birth year of 1819 for Thomas Snr). The information contained in these certificates and a few publications about all of the people who were in and around Otago at the time (and which specifically mention Thomas Snr), clearly indicates that Bertha's husband Thomas Tandy is a different Thomas from the one you have in your tree.

Thank you for your interest and I'm pleased this thread has solved some of the Bertha mystery for you also.

Cheers
