George Sinclair and Peti Matiaha

[edesearch]

Hi,

I’m having trouble obtaining info on George Sinclair and Peti Matiaha. Peti was born around 1819 and married George in 1843. I believe they are the parents of Elizabeth Peti Sinclair who married Abel Dickinson in Opua, Bay of islands. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Hello.

Just tried looking up any records that you might find in the Maori Land Court, but unfortunately the Justice Dept page is down for maintenance tonight.

There is a chance the 'Maori Land On Line' may have some info.

Cheers Alan,

I hadn't thought of that. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Have you looked at the Maori Births, Deaths and Marriages microfiche?

I have searched Births, Deaths, and Marriages but have had no luck.
