Cumberland / Re: James Conway parents help please
« on: Tuesday 13 December 22 22:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
This is now completed with the marraige certificate confirming that James was born in Cumberland England to Daniel and Mary (nee Wilkinson ) Conway.
I guess I just need to keep digging for information on Daniel and Mary .

Hi
That's exciting, thanks for that.
Yes James died in Martinborough but was buried in Picton with Johanna.
I've always assumed the Conways were Irish .
I can only request NZ certificates so I will try with the marraige certificate.

Hi
Same dead end for me
I have tried messaging them through family search but I have had no response.

Yes there is no way to link any information to my James Conway

Thanks for your quick reply
I don't have the death or marraige certificate but that would be my last resort possibly.

I don't have any immigration information but James bought land in 1880 in New Zealand so he was here then.

I don't believe that Daniel and Ellen were his parents if that is the Daniel that was born in 1826 and died in the USA in 1865

There are no sources or evidence for James parentage on any family trees unfortunately

It seems that I have been duped by the old family tree copying with regard to James Conway 1849 to 1930.
James emigrated to New Zealand and married Johanna O'keefe in 1882 .
He was reportedly born in Egremont Cumberland to a Daniel and Mary Anne Wilkinson .
I can find no evidence of his birth to these parents or Daniel Conway and Ellen as it states in yet another family tree .
I have tried searching in Egremont Carmarthenshire records also to no avail.

Hi Lu
We should be able to see if he was in India by immigration records?
Did his brother arrive after him ?
I still can't believe that this is  the same Victor Grouelle that steals a watch and skips out of his child support payments in Christchurch .
By all accounts he leaves Sweden with a Diploma in Veterinary Science , but sets up various businesses not limited to Cartage and other  various other businesses.
It all seems a bit incongruent , or am I missing something?
Perhaps he's a serial liar and fraudster?
Thoughts ???

Wow he really is the ancestor that keeps on giving  :D
I was a little uncertain that he was the same victor with the death certificate , but clearly he takes advantage of the misspent surname to reinvent himself.
Well done everyone  :-*
Alas I have lost Sarah Emmerson , I'm wondering if something dire may have happened that has prompted William's adoption
