Hi,

No mention of children.
There are not a lot by the name of  Treseder in NZ so one of them may know something.
Heres hoping.

Cheers Costar

Yes, I saw that Janette, but I can't see anything else for the parents ..... you know how death notices or Probates give extra clues .....  guess I was just wondering out loud.   :-[

The only death I can see for a Henry Treseder occurred in 1884 five years before Ellen Sophia was born in 1890

Hi All,
Let me recap,
William left Scotland 26th Sept 1909 as per his postcard of that date. Returned to Scotland shortly after only to go back for good to NZ. Found him in Glasgow in 1913 living with his Mother but there is no sign of his younger brother or sister. The sister died in 1915 and it was the brother that registered her death, so I assume William had returned to NZ before then. William was the oldest so he by tradition should have registered the death. His letter from Dunedin (12 Jeffery Street, Andersons Bay) in 1933 mentions his life at sea but no mention of a wife. All other info I have has come since my recent post, which I thank you all again.
I must get the 1912 marriage cert to confirm I have the right William, though I feel it is right.
I phoned to order one but its not that easy.

To date I have almost 700 BMD & Census certs & about 200 wrong ones.
I initially started looking for 6 "lost" family, I have found three so far. Not bad after 10 years.
Cheers
Costar.
