New Zealand Completed Requests / Eleanor Ernestine Beaumont (nee Stewart)
« on: Tuesday 12 December 17 22:15 GMT (UK) »
My great aunt Maude Stuart emigrated from Ireland to NZ in 1898 and married Arthur Hill, or Holmes, in 1902. She died in NZ in 1909. I have all the relevant certificates for Maude. In a newspaper article after her death, mention is made of Eleanor Beaumont who was apparently a first cousin of my great aunt. I can find an entry for the marriage of Arthur Edwin Beaumont and Eleanor Ernestine Stewart in 1897 on the NZ BMD website and various entries on the electoral roll in the Lyttleton and Otago areas, but no further information. Does anyone have any info about Eleanor - sometimes spelled Ellinor? If I could trace more about her parents this might lead me to a connection with another branch of the Stuart/Stewart family. Many thanks.
