New Zealand Completed Requests / Auckland Archives Lookup - Devonport School APW
« on: Wednesday 24 March 21 17:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Hoping someone may be able to assist with a lookup for Annie Elizabeth Stevenson who I believe attended this school. She was born in May 1915 so I guess she may have started school in May 1920.
Records for 1918-1923 https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=1624822
I would also like to know what school she went onto so I guess the next records for 1923 -1930
https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=1624823
There is an outside chance she moved to another school for her last couple of years but I don't know for sure. Any help would be great.
There is no rush for this lookup.
Regards
KK

Hi Lu
I just wanted to let you know I emailed the National Library after looking to see what they had. I was really pleased to get a copy of an article on the Lady Freyberg House in the NZ Nursing Journal from December 1952. The article had everything I wanted to know. Even better was a photo in the article of my great aunt, her best friend and four other ex WW1 nurses. What a result!!!!! They also sent me a copy of my aunt's application to live there. I was thrilled and very impressed with the library. Thank you for your help.

Hi Lu
What a star!!! You have done the hard work. Thank you so much. I had emailed the Wellington RSA and overnight got an email directing me to the National Library.
Fortunately I am a member of Ancestry but hadn't started on the directories although I have used them numerous times.
My husband and I were supposed to be coming home in February for a long holiday to include research but it looks like it may be another year before we get there.
Thanks again

Hi Lu and Minniehaha
I am impressed. Thank you so much for your tips. I have plenty to get on with.
Yes, I am a kiwi but I am always finding out about new sources. Wellington isn't an area I know at all and didn't know about the city council records. I have also just found the Wairarapa Archives while researching this same aunt and they have been so helpful.
I find the PapersPast site a terrific resource as it is free
This research keeps me busy while still in our long lockdown.

Hi Everyone
Hoping someone can help. I recently found out my great aunt , who served in WW1 lived here in the 1950s. I would like to know a bit more about its history e.g. How long was it a home for returned service women. Any help would be great. I did see the images online in the national library and also had a quick look on google satelite to see it is still there.
Hopefully someone local can help.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi KT
It just shows I didn't read your whole message. Did you want me to find the correct one or are you happy to find it yourself
