Beg / Louisa

This letter pre-dates his naturalisation file, as it says in that note "The applicant should be informed of the correct mode of application" and is 1867.

His naturalisation was 1869 as per reply #12.

So I would still go for that Wellington Archives look-up myself.

Hi Twiggy...

I'll have to hand my enigma machine back cos I scoured Archway for anything resembling your 1869 reference and found nothing.

To quote Lucy .... Result:  Nil 

I'm guessing you found the reference on the fiche. I don't have it to hand but was that the entire reference. Not doubting you but as I understand it the I should read IA and the 115 seems to be post-1938 naturalisations.

The 1869/671 is an "obvious" year/record reference but comes up blank, even when throwing it into all of the other search boxes.

And the obvious search of Carl limited to 1869 is a bust too.

Regards
Beg

P.S Will be mightily embarrassed when someone links to the file :-)

Beg - here is the page of the naturalisation register, with Carl's listing. When I tracked down Walter BRUNGOT, I found that his file was bound with another, and indexed under the name on the other.

Hello John and Lucy...

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that Archives had digitised the pre-1949 Naturalisation Register. Good to know.

If you take the second entry (Joseph AMREIN) and enter his record # 1908/3145 into the Advanced Search on Archway he pops up no problem.

If you take the thirteenth entry (Eduard Andrew ARCHER) and enter his record # 1868/2245 into the Advanced Search on Archway he too pops up no problem (although as Edward, not Eduard).

If you take the first entry (Frank AMODEO) and enter his record # 1869/3185 into the self-same Advanced Search on Archway it reurns the dreaded "Sorry, there are no results for this search".

And the same goes for our man Carl Leopold ANDERSON (1869/671). "Sorry, there are no results for this search"

This sort of eases my mind as it means there is a disconnect between the pre-1949 Naturalisation Register and the Archway search engine.

Regarding our current search, I think the answer is in this link...

General Inwards Correspondence to the Colonial Secretary
Record No. 1869/605-837

Open Access
This record is missing
https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=21582282

Record numbers 1869/605 to 1869/837 are listed as missing. Obviously not all are missing as a simple search with 1869 as the record number brings up a dozen hits between 1869/605 and 1869/837. But that still leaves a couple of hundred records unaccounted for. I'm guessing our man Carl's record is one of them.

One good thing is that it could still mean that Sten AMINOFF was working off Carl's Memorial when he compiled Svenska in NZ in the late 70's. The records might have gone missing since then....anyway that's my theory :-)

Beg - we found Walter's file by checking the names of the other people granted citizenship on the same day.... the topic is here:

Hi John...

So page 191 of Issue 22 of the 1869 NZ Gazette lists five gentlemen (see attached image).

Cross-referencing with the Naturalisation Register and Archway gives the following results...

David BLUNK
1870/3479 - Date: 15 December 1870 - Subject: Oath of allegiance and fee (£1) [naturalisation of Diedrich Blunk or David Blunk]
https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24214897


Henry KURSHLIT
1869/751 - Date: 15 March 1869 - Subject: Naturalisation Memorial Oath of Henry Kurshlit
https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24208127

1869/917 - Date: 3 April 1869 - Subject: Naturalisation Oath of Henry Kurshlit
https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24208126


James SCMIT
1869/622 - Archway search says "Sorry, there are no results for this search"


Johannes GRAFF
1869/823 - Archway search says "Sorry, there are no results for this search"


Carl Leopold ANDERSON
1869/671 - Archway search says "Sorry, there are no results for this search"


So do you think the David BLUNK 1870(?) file and the two Henry KURSHLIT files are worth a punt?

Regards
Beg

Beg - definitely worth checking.

John.
