Hi Julie,

A lady on the other forum kindly looked up the names

Poschich No:123974, Mary, 23rd August 1874 Greymouth
No:138932, Michael Thomas 23rd Nov 1878 Grey Valley/Ngahere
Poschiez No:123737, Joanne Andreas 30th Oct 1870 Greymouth
No:123616, Antonius 8th Nov 1869 Greymouth
No:123526, Catharina Anna 9th Feb 1868 Greymouth
Note in brackets behind the name Poschiez is the name Poschich - so this is a error of spelling at time of record.

Nothing for the other names in all forms.

Many thanks to both of you, this info is fantastic and solves a couple of mysteries.
Maybe when the Catholic Church in Christchurch is back up and running we will be able to send for some certificates.
I really appreciate your help.

Hi Julie

The following birth registrations also appear on NZ BMD (online) :

1869 - POSCHICK - Antonio

1872 - POSCHICK - Marion *

[Parents names not given on index. ]

*  Is "Marion" maybe "Maryann" / "Mary Ann" - who marries George PUZAR / PEZAR in 1889 ?

No:123526, Catharina Anna 9th Feb 1868 Greymouth

PapersPast has the death notice of Mrs Anastatia POSCHICH (1917) at the residence of her daughter, Mrs A. HILL.

http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/

"Grey River Argus"  -  22 February 1917 - page 2 - Deaths

NZ Marriage   (NZ BDM online)

Catherine POSCHBICH [sic]  -  Athur HILL  -- 1892

[Another source shows bride as "Catherine POSCHICH". ]


PS:  PapersPast also has several hits for the name(s) PUZAR / PEZAR / PAZAR  ... as well as for POSCHICH.

Thank you for this information.  We did know there was a Catherine but had no official record of her until the above info from the CD.

Just saw your first post Lucy2.  Being dumb we only looked up Poschich on the BDM and not alternative spellings - should have known better.
We also think "Marion" is the Mary Ann who married George Pezar.
Thank you.
