Pollock/McFarlane/Macfarlane to NZ
« on: Thursday 09 August 18 21:51 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I have the birth records of a James Pollock McFarlane, born Auckland 1918 to William Anderson McFarlane and Agnes Patrick (nee Pollock) both born in Rutherglen and Springburn Scotland.  William died in 1920 and Agnes possibly married a Lindsay Thompson Brown in 1929. I cannot find any further details of James.  Was his named changed, died, left the country? does anyone have them in their trees please? 

Thank you

Hi, thank you for the replies.  Agnes was born in 1872 and died 1967 and yes I have Brown's death 1986.  I can trace Agnes back to Scotland but nothing of James, he may have emigrated in which case he won't be the person with a different name I was hoping he may have become - if that makes sense.

So where did Agnes die? If this is known, a newspaper death notice could be obtained. Or-

Do you have a death printout for her? This would/should show the age(s) of living children.

1967/41771   Brown   Agnes Pollock   85Y   
1967/25318   Brown   Agnes   85Y

This looks like the location for Agnes in Te Awamutu Cemetery.

Yes, there was a notice in the paper.

Hi, I saw this Agnes Brown but it is the wrong one.  She only Married a Lindsay Brown in 1929 and she wasn't Richardson.

thanks
