Does anyone need help with brickwalls (that don't require offsite )**complete**

Any folks need second opinions/help with their new zealand research?

We seem quiet on topics that people can help from their homes/computers/at home resources..so I thought I'd add a thread.

Who are you trying to chase/sort out this year.

I'm always on the lookout for any new people following my main families.
Anyone connected with the BARKERS who first settled at Mahurangi, the CORNES, PASCOES and VERCOES who came to the Thames Valley?  would love to hear from you, hoping to get a book published in the near future - THAT IS MY GOAL for 2011

I have not had any luck finding the immigration details for:

Herman Nielsen b. 1859 Denmark
Mary Nielsen nee Miller b. 1859 Scotland
Herman b. 1881 Scotland
Isabella b. 1882 Scotland

I believe they arrived in NZ 1882 or 1883 (according to death cert/burial records and the next child is born in 1885 in NZ)



Also the immigration details for

James Ogilvie Mackie b. 1890 Egypt (English)
travelled to NZ around 1911-1914 from England
any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Herman Nielsen b. 1859 Denmark

Hi John
Was Herman an engineer?
There are naturalisation papers/notice 8 Aug 1887, engineer, Westport.

May I be cheeky and ask for the shipping details of my grandparents?  They are on Findmypast but no money at the moment to buy credits.
They will be under Tew.  Cecelia and Harold.  Granddad had to debunk in Auckland for the Army and Nana arrived in Wellington, this will be about May 1919.

Hi John
I don't know if the alien records tell you anything more
but they confirm that 1884 period
maybe then look at ships to Wesptport for that year 83/84

Hi Althea,

What a good idea of a thread

Apart from finding the marriages of Roy Gerald Keith Day, I can't seem to find him elsewhere before that or after.

Cheers

Thanks Althea.
Much appreciated.
Think some NZ R.C'S are still on holidays.  We will be away Saturday, so don't think I have forgotten you all.
