I have just found the Hinds page you have listed for Maria and found a mistake that you have made with the spelling of my great grandmothers maiden name. I suspect that it came from a document that I have and the registrars hand writing isn't the best.Frederick Osborne Hinds and Catherine Mary...you have Berbidge when it should be Derbidge...hope you don't mind me pointing that out.

My Great Great Grandmother Rose Love (nee Dodson) moved from Australia to New Zealand with her children William and George some time after 1881...I'm not sure what happened to her husband Thomas E Love but I think she may have ended up marrying Joseph Taylor (possibly in Auckland) her son George moved back to Australia as George Taylor and married my grandmother Annie Dudley in 1914. The only Taylor I know in New Zealand is Avis Taylor and she lives in Onehunga....I have only just managed to track her down this week..she is very elderly and just come out of hospital....so I am unable to take much of her time with questions..I know it is highly unlikely but I have my fingers crossed that you may know something of my Taylor relatives
Kind regards

I definitely go back to Isobel/Bell/etc CALDER who married Alexander CORMACK at Watten parish in 1781. Their daughter Barbara (1786-1868) who in 1805 at Wick parish married John SINCLAIR (1780-1857) is my forbear.
There are at least 5 Isobel CALDER baptisms to choose from in Watten parish but I'm picking Isabella born 1754 to Alexander CALDER and Margaret CLACHER to be the one. A good point in her favour is that both Isabella and Barbara had sisters called Sydney, not a common name. At least 3 researchers claim different marriages for Isabella the daughter of Alexander CALDER & Margaret CLACHER, so it's not a done deal.

I'm trying to find info on my grandmother, Grace Louisa, born between 1914 and 1918, probably in Foxhill, Nelson, New Zealand, her father was a grazier, Simon Sutter Allen and her mother was Mary Watson. But, I haven't found a close match for her in the NZ birth index, so I have no birth certificate for my grandmother, in order to verify these details. I searched ANZWERS for 'Mary Watson Foxhill Nelson' and that's how I got here via Nola Moses' Nelson Names page. Thanks!!! I appreciate your work.

I believe that I am decended from Ann Hannam (b 1809 Fewston, Yorkshire) who appears on your family tree. She married a Ralph Wilson in 1828 and six generations later I appeared (b 1973). The information that I already had on her parents and two of her grandparents matches your data, so I am confident that it is there is a genuine link. My branch of the family live near Manchester in northern England but I live in the south of England near London.

My mother was born and brought up in Ormondville and I would love to know more about "Ormondville 1878".

How are you related to the Howes of Ormondville? I remember well Nana Howes, her husband was called "Bush" Howes and they lived in Ormondville. Does anyone have a listing of burials in the Ormondville cemetery?. I am looking for child burials, evidently I have 3 child burials in this cemetery that would have been Aunt/s and Uncle/s.

Can anyone led me to futher information about Jane Brinkley. Family stories tell me I met her when I was a young child - would the dates match though.

E-mail address: [email protected] URL: http://www.linknz.co.nzComments: Hi Barbara,
my search engine has had heaps of people searching for genealogy links and tonight I went a little mad with my search engine web spider and let it dig into web sites all over the world (Normally only NZ web sites) but tonight I let it follow any links it found on Genealogy, it has visited the UK, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, America and it even went across the Tasman to Australia. Well about three gigabytes of space taken up on the server but at the moment it's a case of spare the expense.. Grin.
Thanks for putting a link on your web site to my search engine, I have notice quite a few people visiting yours.
One thing I have noticed on the search engine log file is the number of people who search by spelling genealogy wrong, they spell it geneology and it doesn't show any links?
I just may have to spend some time editing the links that it found tonight, all I can say is that it started digging quite deep into some web sites... Whoops I had better email a few webmasters to say I'm sorry for eating heaps of bandwidth.
I know that my search engine shut down one server in Ireland when it tried to download the whole thing! I have even got a few of his Microsoft word documents about a noisy dog next door because someone did a search for "dogs" and it came up in the results??
These things happen sometimes.. Grin.

Many regards
Dave Andrews of linknz.co.nz
I feel that it would be good if I allowed my search engine to index any genealogy web sites, even the small ones.

E-mail address: [email protected]: I've just spent about 2 hrs looking through your website and while I did not find anything of help it was an interesting time. Just one query can you please tell me where to look for records of people who have jumped ship in the 19th C in NZ. If you are unable to answer this not too worry. Anyway thanks again for providing this site and when I eventually find what I'm looking for I'll let you know.

If it makes your web site easier to find then it's good, you have a well designed web site.

E-mail address: [email protected]: Hi Barbara,

Good for you! What a life's work you've embarked on. I am searching for my uncle, Patrick Joseph Taggart, b. March 27, 1904 in Glasgow (likely dead now of course so I'm actually searching for any offspring. I have no record of him after 1920 when he was still in Scotland (of Irish parents). No marriage or death record in Ireland or Scotland.

As one of his brothers went to Canada (my father), another to Australia, etc. thought he may have ended up in NZ or Australia himself. Contact with family was lost in 1920.

Are there accessible records of passenger lists on immigrant ships in the 1920s and 1930s for NZ or Australia? I've checked for Canada where I live, with no luck. Cannot seem to access data for US without spending a small fortune.

Would appreciate any leads you might offer in this regard. I'm particularly keen to find out at this time as my family and I will be travelling to NZ and Aus in December to visit family and would love to connect with other cousins if they actually exist down there. It's unlikely we'll ever get the chance to make the trip another time.

Regards,

Ingrid Taggart

I started out enthusiastic but what a lot of work... I'm interested in any information on Stanley Carlson (Passed away sometime between 1985-1995), his descendants are from Murupara and Gisborne. I'm trying to find out how and when he came to New Zealand.
Meanwhile I'll just keep on plodding and who knows where this will lead...
