Mmm  ... do bear in mind though that early NZ BD & M records, contain only minimal information.  :(
[NZ board Resources section (as well as the NZ BDM website), lists what info was recorded for various eras. ]

I ordered the certificate as I can trace Catherine D Thomas back to Scotland on her maiden name, as it is a strange middle name. actually it is her grandmothers maiden name. In some records she put the D and sometimes she didn't. If its the right one then I have three generations further back. I figure, at times, it's worth it. But with George Thomas, no middle name on army records, tis a wee bit harder. I always think the family tree is my addiction and I don't spend that much. Tiki

Thanks Lucy. George Thomas was born in 1825 in Ireland and joined the 70th Regiment. He was posted to India and then to New Zealand. He married Alfred's mother when she became a widow in India in 1854 with a 18 month old child. He was a sargeant and was medically discharged in 1864 to Auckland. I have found an article by his son (my great great grandfather) Alfred Huett that talks about his beloved father working for  a small sum, but happy to have employment.


Hi Tiki

>  Do you know from any records you have for George THOMAS, whether at the time of his discharge in NZ, he received a land grant of any type ?

[I just found the reference to your earlier thread re: George - but must go back and re-read it. ]

Hello...

I'm guessing you got George's army info from his discharge papers on FindMyPast.

Did you manage to follow up the two notations dated "9.9.68" and "30/8/78"...or 76

Maybe just a filing reference but the latter says "cau of" which might be short for "cause of death".

Might not :)

Maybe ask the Belfast board to see if there is a possible 1878 death (or 1876).

Regards
Beg
