Nelson Births circa 1887

[scanning]

Hello Simon,

1954/22232   Evison   Urania Catherine   67Y
1908/2495   Urania Catharine   Gray   Albert Edward Guelph   Evison

A question: Are you able to tell us the date on which Urania Catherine celebrated her birthday?

Minniehaha.

Hi Minniehaha,

Dredging this up again, but I asked my cousin and she thinks that Urania celebrated her birthday about the 5th or 6th of October.

Cheers,

Simon

Hello...

Is there much known about Urana ARNOLD b.1868. So far she seems not to have been mentioned in this thread.

Urana (daughter of Catherine and William Frederick ARNOLD) seems to be a younger sister of Johanna ARNOLD and Catherine ARNOLD, both previously mentioned in this thread.

Urana's 1889 marriage to Robert MUNDY was slightly after the supposed 1887/88 birth of Urania. Urana (as Eurana) and her husband Robert start a family from 1891 onwards.

Any daughter Urana had, pre or post-marriage, could be considered a niece of Johanna, as mentioned by Minnie in her reply #13.

---

Or has Urana already been researched and subsequently discounted.

(Actually, having re-read the original post, we're looking for a missing birth record - not missing birth parents. So possibly not relevant)

Beg

Information for Urana ARNOLD (MUNDY) has been sent (earlier) via PM, to "scanning".

Any specific reason a PM was used instead of sharing it with the board.

And is it worth searching for a birth record or has that already been PM'd too.

Hi Beg,

I am primarily looking for a birth record for Urania Catherine Gray who we know was adopted by Johanna and Archibald. It is surmised that the mother could be Urana, but there doesn't appear to be any obvious registered births for her.

There is also a possibility that either of the youngest sisters, Margaret and Emma, could be the mother.

Cheers,

Simon

Hello...

I am trying to find a birth record ... that apparently occurred in Nelson

Is it worth doing a District Keys search or has this already been done.

Urania celebrated her birthday about the 5th or 6th of October

Is it worth searching the BDM NZ website by date or has this already been done.

...they "found" a birth entry for her that meant Urania was born earlier than she thought

Any idea how much earlier. A 14 year old Urana would mean an 1882 birth. That's seven years of fiche (1882-1888 incl.) which would take a month or two to search. Would be a nuisance to do that and find it's already been done.

Hi Simon

*  Have you tried Nelson Catholic Archives for a possible baptism record for Urania ?

It might also be worth a search of school records too which could possibly give a date of birth.
