Bollettie appears to have married a Thomas Edgar Hobbs in 1919, but after that I have drawn a blank. Was there any issue from that match, I wonder, and where and when did they live and die?

Hi

I'm not able to open the link provided by JJen in Reply # 3 regarding the tree in which Thomas Edgar HOBBS is mentioned ?  So not sure if you have the following info ?

The "New Zealand Herald" newspaper of 27 March 1941 carried his death notice.  There is no mention of any children.

"HOBBS - On 25 March at Northcote, Thomas Edgar, dearly beloved husband of Bolettie Mary HOBBS, in his 58th year.  Private interment.

In the same newspaper, on same date, a brief article on his death and the inquest.

Strange that you cannot open the link as it is still working.

Dear all

I am quite overwhelmed by the generosity of your response. Thank you all so much, you have provided an extraordinarily rich trove of information in almost no time at all.

With everything you have given me, I am close to being able to close out the NZ chapter of my investigations (upstream of Bollettie, the Rasmussens are legion and accessibly documented).

I have, however, one final question that is eating me. Bollettie's first husband, my colourful but decidely dastardly grandfather, Herman George Tankersley Davies, was born in Otago in 1882, the son of Walter Davies and Annie Elizabeth Dodd. I have quite a lot about the Dodds, and some information on Walter - but not when he immigrated to NZ from England. Would it be possible to find this out?

No worries if this is a tall order - my cup runneth already over ...

Many thanks again to all concerned

All the best,

Richard

Here’s another link to alisonjar this time post for info. Re DAVIES/DODD

You probably have all this info. but just in case.....

I’ve taken a quick look at the census found Walter DAVIES on 1861 & 1871 census but as yet can’t spot when he came to NZ - will keep looking

Was it Australia?

The names below are mentioned on that post

Don't have access to look at this record

Is it possible that Walter came to Australia first?

There's this record year of birth is a close match

Hi Richard

Can you tell us please what you currently have for Walter DAVIES ... it saves us from having to trawl through those long earlier threads. 

Year of birth ... his death and where it occurred  ... his occupation ...

Of course since the earlier information was gathered for Alison? ... many new records have become available.
