Has anyone any relatives Thomas Michael King married in New Zealand to Gertrude Tighe ex Dunedin then widowed and later married Ada Atkinson from Durham in NZ also. His parents were Michael King and Cecelia Hodge. Thomas Michael was born about 1872 in Dublin I think

browsing though some old posts and saw this . ..dont know if you've made any progress on this since then, but there is a possible match for the birth you are looking for on the familysearch Civil Index :

 Name: Thomas Michael King
 Registration district: Dublin South
 Record type: Birth
 year: 1872
 Volume: 2 / Page: 754

you can order a cert from the GRO using these details.

I am seeking a marriage date or any mention for Cecelia Hodge married Michael KING about 1870 - anyone able to assist please?  Their son Michael was born in DUBLIN 1871. Michael King was a Soldier.

Can't find any thing for Cecelia Hodge.
Did you get Michael's birth cert?
The only Michael King I can see born Dublin in 1871 is an incomplete record father William

I can't see a Thomas, Michael or Unknown in the Dublin area born to Michael and Cecelia.

Maybe someone else will have better luck.


Forgot to add

Death cert says aged 78 so born around 1865- a few years earlier than i thought in 1871/2

A few things to consider.
A death cert is based on what the informant believed so may not be correct.
Birth registration started in Ireland in 1864 so was hit and miss early on.
Lots of British Army Regiments spent time in Ireland so his parents may not have married in Ireland.

There is a register of Army births, it's on FindMyPast.

If the only place you've found the parents' names is that death certificate, I wouldn't rule anything out too quickly. His marriage certificate is likely to be more accurate since he was there to give the details.

Just in case this later proves to be the correct Thomas Michael King-
