Hi im new to this site.
I was hoping that someone might be able to help me find out about my grandfather, and great grandfather? His name is Aubery Albert Douglas. Born 1/9/1906 in Wellington, New Zealand. Died 28/4/78 in east Melbourne, vic, Aust.
His father was Aubery Douglas, born about 1873, in Cincinatta, Ohio. USA.
His Mother was Ivy Ethel May Fuller, born about 1886 in NSW, Aust
They were married in March 1904 in New Zealand..
I would love know about when they went to NZ and When they left NZ.
And if anybody could put me in the right derection on finding out more about my GGF.
thanks in avance
Vik

Hi Vikamen (and again, welcome) 
If Aubrey DOUGLAS (the "performer") is yours, then as a member of an entertainment troupe, he was likely involved in a lot of frequent travel - (possibly much of it between Australia and NZ). Do you know if his wife, Ivy Ethel May FULLER, was a member of the famous FULLER family who were involved in entertainment and theatre ? (Some of the Fuller family apparently settled in NZ).
Incidentally, the NZ Marriage Index doesn't show a marriage for Aubrey DOUGLAS and Ivy E.M. FULLER ?
Although their son was born in NZ, perhaps they married elsewhere ?

Hi Vikamen,
It sounds like a really interesting family.
Lu might well be right about the Fuller connection. Looking at some of the many articles in Papers Past, Aubrey worked for Fullers Entertainment Company among others.
Do you have your grandfather's birth certificate or as Bren asked - his death certificate?
How sure are you about your great-grandfather's place and date of birth? As you have found out, family stories are not always accurate. It's best to work with the facts from official records. Do you know where and where he died?
In the 1880 US Census (free on Family Search) there is an Aubrey H Douglass, born 1871, Minnesota. 
I would definitely press your aunty for more information.
Stephanie
