Death:

[Son (?) of Maggie nee Rowles & John Cameron.]

1988/46307   Cameron   Alexander Lancelot   24 August 1905

Although their daughter was registered as Maggie, birth date 28.6.1903, I think her death was registered as:

1903/5256   Cameron   Mary Maggie   1M

Date of death was 28.7.1903.

Thanks once again to all who have helped with the research and links, especially Minniehaha who has given me loads to go on. My apologies for not replying sooner but I have been away.

What amazes me is the similar Christian names between some of these families and my grandmother's family in London which leads me to suspect that they were in contact with each other.
 
Lucy2 - I did receive the Caroline Alexander letter thank you.

I'm a bit behind the eight-ball here, but if you're still following this thread I may be able to help.

George and Ellen Dommett are my great-grandparents amd I'm delighted to link with Ellen's relatives in UK. I'll read through this thread carefully to add to my own family records. :-) :-)

Ellen married James Alexander Duley in 1886 and they had nine children, including my beloved Grandpa, Norman Duley.

Happy to provide more info if it's wanted. I have photos of Ellen and James Duley, or "Gran" and "Peta" as they were known to their grandchildren.

Welcome to RootsChat, and it's NZ discussion boards.

I see dejayEn logged on to the forum following your placing this post, so am assuming they got an email notification. As we are not allowed to publically discuss the living, they possibly have sent you a Personal Message. However to be able to recieve it you will have to have posted several posts on the RootsChat forum.  Just a few Hello's with some smilies will do. Then you will get a notification by the MY MESSAGES in the top of page bold banner.

As this post is now hosted on the NZ completed board it does not get as many visitors, though those, like me who contributed to the post, will probably have recieved a notification that the sleeping post has awakened.

If you don't get any further acknowledgements, I would suggest you start a thread on the active NZ  Board.

I went to Puketaha Scouts with a GRANT many moons ago.

All the best.

Welcome from me as well.   We can always ask the moderator to move this back to the main board, instead of starting a new thread.

Cheers
