Has anyone come across William Miller.

[Thamesite2017]

Whats the date of this postcard..fire brigade mention is interesting
there could be a history with his mentions

You mention you have 700 death and other certs...
If we were to list all the death registrations..can you list ones you haven't purchased?
Just think answer must lbe somewhere

This fire service mention may be a start to find out how long he stayed with that involvement
Bye
althea

Ps isee the date was 1909
and that John B had looked at all the deaths and come up with one possibility

re:   Ellen Sophia MILLER  (nee TRESEDER )

Possible birth of same :

1890 - TRESEDER - Ellen Sophia

Parents:   Ellen Sophia  /  Henry

Sometimes it happens that there are errors in the names appearing on our online B, D and M indexes.

I think it is likely that the parents of Ellen Sophia are in fact a couple named "Ellen Jane" and "(John) Henry" TRESEDER ... and because of the similarity of first name of mother and daughter, that the child's name has been inadvertently entered in the "Name of Mother" column.

[You could try sending a (cheeky) email to NZ BDM ... asking if they could check that they have the mother's name listed correctly on the online index. ]

Ellen Sophia TRESEDER

The couple whom I suspect are the parents of Ellen Sophia, did not actually marry until 1893.

Ellen Jane MARTIN - John Henry TRESEDER -- 1893

Births to Ellen Jane and John Henry TRESEDER

1984 - Harry

1896 - John Douglass

1898 - Rena Tui

Of interest is this Southland electoral roll listing -- which is before the date of marriage of this couple :

1890 - Invercargill

TRESEDER - Ellen Jane - domestic duties
TRESEDER - John Henry - surveyor
    ... both residing at Yarrow Street, Invercargill

Additionally there a birth notice published in "Southland Times" - 27 March 1894 for the child Harry.

"TRESEDER  ... 22 March 1894 at Riverton  ... Mrs H. TRESEDER, a son. "

The child's birth registration shows his father was "John Henry" ... but the birth notice gives mother as "Mrs. H. "  ... which may indicate that John Henry was known by his second name of Henry ?

1984 - Harry

Shouldn't that be 1894

[Lucy2]

Ellen Jane and John Henry TRESEDER also lived at Oamaru (1928 to 1938) -  at the same time that Ellen Sophia MILLER lived there.

In 1928 they appear on the Oamaru Supplementary Roll (suggesting perhaps that they had recently moved to that district) ... with them is spinster daughter, Rena Tui.

1928 Oamaru Main Roll shows Ellen Sophia MILLER living at a different address -- "The Gorge",  Weston - (married, but no husband listed on roll.)

The (senior) TRESEDER's appear to have moved around New Zealand a fair bit ... even to the North Island.   Their children are scattered throughout the country also.  [Rena Tui maried after 1931 and can be found under surname "HAROLD" ]

Deaths

1960 - TRESEDER - Ellen Jane - aged 92

1950 - TRESEDER - John Henry - aged 90

Hi Lu,

I'm curious to know more about your comment in reply #29

Of interest is this Southland electoral roll listing -- which is before the date of marriage of this couple :

1890 - Invercargill

TRESEDER - Ellen Jane - domestic duties
TRESEDER - John Henry - surveyor
    ... both residing at Yarrow Street, Invercargill

I can see entry for John Henry on Index, (which is all I have access to) but not Ellen Jane.

I thought that women were not given the right to vote until 1893??
