You could ask if some kind person can do a look up for you.

Might pay to start a new topic to request this.......... [Wellington Archives etc.]

Hi,
I have a photograph of Robert Joseph Elmer when he was about 10 years old.  His aunt, Sarah Long, was my husbands Great Grandmother.  Robert and Sarah's mother and father both came from Norfolk.  I have been trying to find out more about the NZ branch of the family and have some information regarding William Elmer Long, but I cannot find when he married Sophia.  It must have taken place in England but no luck so far.  Also Robert had a sister called Patricia, again I have no information about her at all, I have the same problem with Edith, Robert's sister.

Have you any information you could share?

Lynn

Hi Lynn, Happy to hear you have a photo of my Grandfather as a child would there be any way I could get a copy. Do you live in New Zealand? I have no information about my grandfathers sister Patricia but remember visiting her and my great grandmother Sophia when they lived at Waiuku south of Auckland.
