Hi Janette
Nothing certain.  There are two possibilities
Henry James b NZ 1896, mother Mary, father Robert Alexander Levy
Henry James b NZ 1900, mother Maria Annie, father Ralph Levy
I would have to buy the birth print outs to prove beyond reasonable doubt!
Henry must have been born prior to July 1900 when he was named in his grandmother's will.

I still can't find the marriage of Mary Connell to ?? Levy in NZ or Australia pre 1900
Thanks
Diggels

Just for the record....

Quote from: whiteout7
Cousin Lucy Gastroe was travelling with her.

Fatal Railway Accident
http://tinyurl.com/p6cpep6

The cousin was Lucy GESTRO, daughter of Fanny and Joseph of Pahautanui/Paremata

Lucy married a Charles Frederick Brogden HOBBS in 1899.

She was a cousin through the maternal line so not directly helpful in answering the original question.

Regards
Beg

Hi Minniehaha
Thanks for the birth date of Henry James Levy 18/4/1900. Can you please give me a few more details, parents names, where did you find the exact date? I found the birth of Henry James Levy in 1900 on NZBDMs. Mother Maria Annie, father Ralph Levy. It's a possibility but not quite sure if this is the one I'm looking for.
Thanks
Diggels

Hi Beg
Thanks for the info about Lucy Gestro, I have quite a lot of info on the Gestro family. Her mother was Frances (Fanny)Gestro (nee Mullins), sister of my g.grandmother Mary Jane Connell (nee Mullins). If you are interested I have the contact of a very keen distant relative who is researching the Gestro family in depth - especially their connection to the fishing industry in early Wellington.
Regards
Diggels

Hi Diggels

RE :    Henry James LEVY - born 1900 - son of Maria Annie and Ralph

This birth was registered at Waihi (as was that of another child of above couple - Mabel Sarah - reg'd 1901.  A further two of their children's births reg'd at Tairua and Auckland.)

Am I right in recalling info posted to your current Australia board thread has already ruled out the above birth (with details given for Maria Annie LEVY nee HEDGE  ... etc.  )  ??
