It would seem that with all this confusing as the only information that I ,to go on is on the Marriage certificate printout from BDM from 1882  Mary Ann Yeoman's parents are James & Mary Ann Yeoman nee Winders  , and so armed with that I did  a search of any family that arrived in Canterbury New Zealand and found only one group  before 1882  and this was on the shipping records  dated 14.7.1874  as for any other names that are mentioned I am wondering if some how there is a name change completely as if to make it hard for anyone to do research

As a check It might be useful to buy one of the births i listed in Reply#7.

It could be an error on Mary Ann’s marriage. Depending on who was answering the question.

Hi MCKHA489

1882 marriage between Mary Ann Yeoman and Charles Fenton at Christchurch

The only information that I have on Parents name are via the marriage certificate printout from BDM NZ from 1882 and on the the maiden name of the mother is given as Mary Ann Winders, but the other information from #7 looks like them, not sure if the Original Certificate will have all details on it

If these are the same people they must have shorten their surnames and their Christian names  , which way does a person navigate

from #7 looks like them, not sure if the Original Certificate will have all details on it

The Print out is always the best to get.

Arthur Edward Fenton’s attestation names his mother as Mrs Mary Ann Swan.

 I cannot see a marriage to Mr Swan.  Did she marry someone else in between?

When Alfred died just Mary Ann Swan named in notice,

Added.. found it, not under Fenton.

1895/3724   Mary Ann   Yeoman   Robert   Swann

So, i wonder if she said anything differently on that marriage reg.

I am not certain as when I checked the details of what you found  Alfred Edward Fenton died in 1902 aged 42 going by the children of Mary Ann Swann there are none listed , even checking the name Alfred Edward Fenton , nothing shows up, as being born in NZ

Mary Ann Yeoman  Married in 1882 to Charles Fenton
Mary Ann Fenton married a Robert Swann in  1895

Either this woman was a quick Divorce from her husbands and remarried just as quick
