Hi, I was able to read James Henry Drury's diary before Xmas. It is the most amazing read, he live a life to say the least. I will find my cousins (Ray Drury) e mail address and forward all this too him. He has so much info on the Drury family. He will have some answers.  thanks Scott

Hi all. I am trying to find out any shipping records of when Marie may have come to N.Zealand (Chch?) I have trawled around for sometime now and have no luck. I know she did not come out with her mum and dad as they died back in Carvan Ireland. she married James Drury in 1884 if that is any help. can anybody cast any light on this.

thanks Scott

Hi.

Yes he was the son of Dr Samuel Drury. So is there anyway to find out if he had been a 'bad boy' in 1878 pre the month of June when he was to sail for New Zealand?

Thanks Scott

Hi Carole and hanks for that.
However is it possible to check somewhere if there was a Dr S Drury involved in the Crimean War. The story has been around the family for a number of years?

thanks Scott

The Common Room / James Henry Drury b 1861 d 1930
« on: Thursday 26 January 17 21:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

My great 1 x grand father Henry James Drury b 31 march 1861 d 2 march 1930 was sent to New Zealand as a remittance man after finishing his schooling at Epsom Collage (England). My question is from a family member is 'how can we find out the reason why he was sent off to New Zealand? I understand that if the family had wealth then a option was offer of leaving England (and not returning) and chargers would not take place.

Help please :( ???

Armed Forces / Dr Samuel Drury Crimean War

Hi all.

My great x2 grand father Dr Samuel Drury was reportedly a Dr in the Crimean War. Our extended family have a silver ink well set with writing on it saying on it 'in greatful rememberance of all your kindness and medical skill. From Captain Archibald Hay May 1952'.
how do I find out if he was in the Crimean war and where he served?

regards Scott :)

Family History Beginners Board / Mr Kiyo Kameda (or Kamada) b 16/7/1888 japan d 22/7/1949 new zealand

Hi all,
I a trying to find out as much as I can for some back history research, about Mr Kiyo Kamada b16/7/1888 in Aomori, Japan d 22/7/1949 New Zealand. Mr Kamada was a Jiu Jitsu expert and was a 'tent wrestler' in Australia between 1908-1912 and here in New Zealand between 1912 and 1925. Mr Kamada travelled to America in June 1906 to help teach at Police stations in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles for 19 months. I am very interested if there were any photos taken of the travelling groups, any reports of the group, who was the head instructor that invited the young Mr Kamada to travel with them to America (would there be visa papers?) and or Australia, and if any body has any idea of other leads I may follow. I know this is a hard one (well it is from my side of the fence)
Many Regards Scott  :)
