Green family, immigrants from UK

[peterbaker]

Harry Green was born 8 Sep 1883 in Somers Town, London. I believe I have found him in the England census of 1901, when he was an 18 year-old gunner in the Army in Woolwich. I then have a  record for him marrying Rose Beatrice Millard [b 1893 London] on 27 Dec 1913, Dunedin, then a death record for 6 Oct 1963 in Ashburton, Christchurch.
It is Harry's parents I'm researching - Henry Green born 18 Jan 1860 Kersey, Suffolk, UK and Jane Avey born 3 Dec 1850 in Mildenhall, Suffolk. I have Henry and Jane in the 1901 England census, then nothing more. I'm wondering whether they emigrated with their son Harry to NZ. Is there a passenger list index or NZ census record online that can be checked please?
Many thanks  ..  Peter

Hello Peter

Unfortunately New Zealand does not have Census records (all were destroyed) ... but we do have a number of other means by which we can locate people.

Passenger lists direct from UK to New Zealand (1890 to 1960) can be found at the "findmypast" (FindMyPast) website (free to view indexes - pay-to view records).

I can't immediately see in the passenger indexes, anything  which might be a match for the parents ??

It would be helpful for us to know the occupation of Henry GREEN (bc 1860) too, so that electoral listings can be checked.

Hi again Peter

Have checked for deaths in New Zealand for Henry GREEN (bc 1860) and wife Jane GREEN (bc 1850), and unfortunately can find nothing which is a close match to their approximate years of birth.

[The NZ Death index gives christian name(s), surname ... plus either "age at death" or (for later deaths) an actual birthdate. ]

Have now found occupation for Henry GREEN (1860) -- 1891 "carriage washer" -- 1901 "Railway carriage... " ?? (looks like "porter" ?? ). 

I have Henry and Jane in the 1901 England census, then nothing more.

If you use the FindMyPast website to search the next available census return, you'll find Henry (1860) with son Henry (Harry) ... and one other    ... all at West Ham. Essex.

Hi Peter

I see also that there is a "tree" at Anc**try, for this GREEN family  ... (though maybe it's yours. ) ??

I have been trying to locate Henrys death after the 1911 census but unfortunately there are to many Henry Green deaths in West Ham, Essex for me to identify the correct one.

I will look for Janes death between 1901 and 1911.
