Help Needed to locate Birth of a Theresa Henrietta Lorrigan

[snwbnnyinoz]

I'm searching for the birth of a Theresa Henrietta Lorrigan.  I have her death cert which shows that she was born in Auckland in approx 1872.  She died 28 Oct 1953 age 81. Shows date of birth not recorded.  Her father is listed as Lawrence Lorrigan but the mother is not listed.
Any help to find any people in this family would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Paula

This is not her birth but it is about the death of Lawrence says he leaves a widow and 2 children

Thanks Janette,

Not sure if that is the correct Lawrence or not.  As that would make this Lawrence 12 or so at the time of Theresa's birth. 

This one sure is a mystery.  I do have Theresa's residence as being in Ponsonby where this Lawrence lived too. 

Thanks, Paula

Hi Paula

Mmm ... not finding anything at all for this lady in NZ.     

Did she die in Australia ... or somewhere other than NZ ?

Did she marry ?

What else can you tell us about her ?

Thanks guys, yes that is the correct Theresa Lorrigan.  I have a copy of the death cert.  It is showing that she was born in Auckland.  She did indeed marry William Ford.  The Lawrence Archibald Ford is my husbands Grandfather.
It's Theresa that seems to be the big puzzle.
I do have a residence for her (from the death cert of : 69 Ponsonby Rd, Ponsonby.

Do you think if I ordered the marriage cert it would have some more information about her family on it? 

It is a puzzling one.  Not very many people have that name but it's not making it any easier.

Thanks, Paula

Hi Paula,,
It would pay to order the marriage printout,the printout is a  scanned image of the original record, you can request that they email it to you which is better as the paper copies have very small print.
The information on the marriage printout is given by the couple so should be accurate.

Cheers Janette
