Doak, Rogers, Dunlop

[KatC]

I was given a family photograph of "Robert and Mary, Thomas and Lizzie."

I would like to confirm this is a photo of Robert Doak and Mary Glassie and daughter Elizabeth Doak and husband Thomas Rogers.  Other photos may also be from these families.

Robert is the son of William Doak and Jane Hull of Ballynagarrick, Co Down, Ireland.  Robert probably  had a son Samuel James Hull Doak  b. abt 1893 who was in Poverty Bay at one point and who married Ethel Emily Dunlop.  Samuel J.H. died in 1924 and is buried in Christchurch.

Thanks, but I can't find any mention of that site on Google and I am not a member.  Will you describe the site?

I did find a few extra children who died in infancy- Robert Alexander Doak b 1891 and William Glassie Doak b. 1890.  Thomas Rogers may be William Thomas Rogers, but I can''t find details on him.

Thanks so much. I think I can get into A$try at the local federal center next week.

I gather William Thomas Rogers's family if there were one offers the best hope for picture ID.

I have lots of other families in NZ mainly in Canterbury area.  Do you know of an index to that immigration site?  I've not seen that site before and keep going in circles as I am sent here and there by their informational sites.

I find the Family Search very good for ships lists
