Hello Chatters, I'm not familiar with New Zealand research at all & am hoping someone can help me connect some dots please.
I'm looking for transit from Scotland to New Zealand shortly after WWI & a return trip to Scotland sometime in mid 1923 for:
Wilhelmina Margaret Johnston Taylor "Mena" Ayton
B:abt 1897 in Edinburgh, Scotland
(father: James Ayton / mother: Isabel Taylor)
Mena met a WWI New Zealand soldier in Edinburgh: surname Harris. She went to New Zealand with him or following him. I'm unsure if she travelled using surname "Ayton" or surname "Harris".
I'd like to figure out the forename of this "unknown" Harris.
Can one do a free search for New Zealand attestation papers for WWI soldiers? If so, where would I do that search once I figure out the forename of "unknown" Harris.
I'd also, if possible, would like to know where Mena went in New Zealand. The only info I have is that it was the Harris family homestead "in the middle of nowhere".
I have access to the world version of *A*, but don't seem to be able to make it search for New Zealand arrivals / departures. I'm doing this search for a distant relative so don't want to spend any $ unless I absolutely hit a brick wall.
Thank you for any help, information, or direction you can provide.
