Yes that is the one so, I will wit for the birth certificate to get here from Henry Edgar to see who she named as the father. So as you suggested the Henry Edgar Wells could be her father so that might help to go backward to confirm the missing links in our search for the missing heritage.

Hi dean.wendy
I am thinking that this line of your family is important to you.

You have worked hard to find the truth so you will have the facts correct for the future.

May I remind you    (page 3. Reply #19)

Thanks for all your help, yes it has helped heaps, now I need to get the birth certificate for Fanny Wells that hopefully will shed some light. I wonder if it gives me the nationality as in where the biracial heritage comes from, then I will know that I am probably on the right track.

The fustrating part is that I have almost nothing to go on here in New Zealand.

It is very important to have the "basics" right in proper research.

If you would like some support with the process of the download, many here will be happy to offer  step by step guidance.

It is actually not tricky once you get the hang of it.

I can only see this....perhaps I am missing something.   I would think the information would be more detailed if the researcher had some certificates.

Mary Elizabeth Wells (born Werrey), 1852-1891
Mary Elizabeth Wells (born Werrey) was born in 1852, at birth place.
Mary married William Henry Harrison Wells in 1868, at age 16 at marriage place.
William was born circa 1830, in Ohio, USA.
They had 6 children: William Henry Harrison Wells, Mary Elizabeth Wells and 4 other children.
Mary passed away in 1891, at age 39 at death place.

And if I search using just WELLS and the exact date of birth this is the result

I missed this .....

she married George Davis in 1910/12 in Wellington, NZ. So she would have immigrated to NZ in early 1900, s. She then went onto have three boys, one of them being my husband's grandfather, none of them are alive and they never spoke of their heritage.

So you married into the WELLS family.  When you wrote our grandfather I wrongly assumed it was yours.

Did Verdun or William marry?
