Title: Captain John James Stanaway, death
Post by: akissling on Sunday 02 November 14 18:00 GMT (UK)
Does anyone have the actual death certificate of John James Stanaway who died August 1874, in Toka Toka? I would like to see if his parents are named on the certificate. Thanks!

Hi

Unfortunately it wasn't until 1876 that parental details were recorded on New Zealand death certificates.   :(

NZ BDM's timeline gives further information.

Hi, had been about to add same link as previous post.

It is probably worth "googling" his name also, as there seems to be quite a lot of information for the Captain ... and notes from other researchers.

Including a book about him............

"Tides of Time- Capt. John James Stanaway".

Not sure of the author but the book may still be available through Trade Me?
