Birth of Joseph James Palmer

[3grkiwi]

Can any one help ? I am trying to find the birth entry of Joseph James Palmer, son of Dinah (Diana) (Dina) & James Palmer, probably at Invercargill 1873 - 1874. Joseph James Palmer's death printout  lists his death at Invercargill on 25 Jan 1951 aged 77, being born in Invercargill and being in N.Z. for 77 years.   I've searched the NZ Birth microfiche and the new on-line birth entries without success.  The parents are believed to have arrived in NZ on board the Zealandia at Bluff on 28 December 1872 as noted in "The Farthest Promised Land".   
I'm getting stuck for ideas, so your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for reply  Mk2-Zephyr

James born 1974 is registered as Waimea Sth Nelson District so not my one
Joseph Sampson born 1874 I did check and I think was registered in Christchurch but is not my one.

With the above in mind I am still looking for my Joseph James Palmer birth probably in Invercargill c.1873-74 as I believe his parents did not move from this area.

Well there's a James Palmer with a birth registration of 1874/10142, wherever that was.  Either his birth was never registered in NZ or he was registered with another name until they figured out what to call him....maybe?

My first choice would be to contact Southland Branch NZSG who have extensive school records
brief summary on NZSG Index CD
Possible has a James with father James at Invercargill North
Register Number 157 Admission Date 1879

They may have birthdate. This ties in with birth year and rego 1874

The James Palmer Birth Registration No. 1874/10142 was registered in Waimea Sth , Nelson District and is not my one.  The Joseph James Palmer I am seeking birth registration for was named Joseph after his maternal grandfather and James after his father so not likely to have been given temporary other names for registration.

I will follow up your suggestion of the school records and as my Joseph James Palmer is the son of the James and Dinah Palmer who lived at George St. Invercargill North this may be the breakthrough I am looking for.


Thanks for your interest and replys
