Thank you terngirl. As merlin stated I have this info very kindly given by Roots and am really grateful for that. My problem now is that I am having difficulty in finding out more on Edward and Mary of their immigration to Australia and on their son's and daughter's emigrating to New Zealand. Once again sincere thanks.

If Edward and Mary died in Victoria their death certificates will (should!) tell you how many years they have been in the Colony.  This will help with the search for their arrival, so worth the cost.

Thank you Momamg. The reason I haven't done this as yet is because according to one of the certificates already purchased calculates 'living in New Zealand' for 50 years which meant the child was only 15 and the other siblings 13? at the time of emigrating from Australia to NZ (figuring around 1878) and I cannot believe they would do this without their parents. Probably why I am having so much difficulty in tracking them. I am sure I have tried all resources open to me.

[Rufous Treecreeper]

I understand.  I had a look in Victorian Pioneer Index 1836 - 1888 but couldn't see a death for Edward or Mary, so you're on the right track about them going to NZ with the kids, I think.

Good luck with your search,
Mo

Hi not sure if I am doing this correctly, but I have Edward and Mary listed as the parents of Ellen Thomas and Henry and yes, Mary came from Roscommon Ireland and Edward from Liverpool in England. It has been a while since I have done any research but feel free to contact me. I had great difficulty in tracking their marriage, but was informed that there were registrations that had been locked away, I can't remember why, but was told that there was a possibility they could be made available. I did not follow thru at that point..

Pauline may I ask who gave you that information please?

Was the marriage the same date and place on all three birth registrations in Victoria?
