Christchurch Archives look up please.
« on: Sunday 05 June 16 09:40 BST (UK) »
Good evening

I would be so grateful if someone going to the Christchurch Archives could look at this divorce file for me please.  The brick wall that has been hindering me so long could be broken down with these documents about my 2x gt grandfather's divorce.

Many thanks

Thanks very much.  I already have all the newspaper reports about my hideous 2x gt grandfather thank you. Desperate to see the divorce papers as i'm hoping against hope that I will see children's names.

Cheers

Yes. This is my great grandmother.  Her sister Eliza Jane is the "nr" 1870 birth and her brother William died son after birth along with his mother in 1874. There is a missing third child.  This child is none of the ones listed on NZbdm as children of a Mary and a William - they are are different family and not related to me at all.  Sigh
