Look Up Request Wellington National Library
« on: Monday 21 October 24 08:49 BST (UK) »
Hi,

There is a book on the 1st floor reading room of Wellington National Library called `The Hills of Herbert`. It is a family history of the Hill family in New Zealand. There is a chapter titled Robert William Hill. Robert married Ellen O`Shea and it is details about Ellen I am interested in. I have a DNA connection to one of her ancestors and I think Ellen may be the sister of my great grandmother. However, I need some details to verify that, such as date of birth, place of birth and parental names if possible. A telephone photo of any relevant pages would be hugely appreciated.

Have you asked your library if they can get it on Interloan?
I see it is held in some other libraries.

(Assuming you are in NZ of course)

Ah well. It was a good idea.
For others who might be able to help..it is also in the Hamilton public Library, and several of the university libraries.

Hi Tablecloth, and welcome  :)

I can have a look for this book for you.

This topic was posted in New Zealand Resources & Offers. I'll move it to the main New Zealand Board so I don't forget to action it.

Not quite what you are after but a photograph of her headstone. Can be enlarged to full screen size.
