New Zealand / Re: Death/burial details for Edmond ANDRAHAN

This website recording the burials reveals that he was probably one of two later settlers who died and were buried there.

I wonder if a local library, family history society or NZSG branch might hold more information.

Hi xxindibeexx, and welcome to RootsChat  :)

As Lucy2 has mentioned, your topic on the Beginner's Board has provided some answers for you.

It's best practice to keep research on one place (i.e., confined to a single topic) if possible, so I suggest we lock this topic and leave the other one active. If you wish I can move that one to the New Zealand Board for you.

Please let me know if you'd like to to do that.

Regards,

Spades

In case you don't have this, he attested for the Armed Constabulary on 2 January 1869. He was 33 years of age and 5' 6 1/2" tall.

Hi TPB,

I have taken the liberty of supplying the complete entry for Edmond ANDRAHAN from Discharged in New Zealand, which shows that 'OT' denoted 'Otahuhu', not Otago (see page 128 of the book for the abbreviations used).

Hughes, H & L (1988) Discharged in New Zealand. Soldiers of the Imperial Foot Regiments who took their discharge in New Zealand 1840-1870.
43rd Light Infantry, p.32:
Regimental No.:      2775   
Rank:         Private
Name:         ANDRAHAN, Edmond
Birthplace:      Glynn, Limerick   
Trade (on enlistment): Lab (Labourer)
Date of Enlistment:   020252
Place of Discharge:   OT (e.g. Otahuhu)
Date of Discharge:   240366
Type of Discharge:   G (e.g. Gratuity)
Ship:                   LJ (e.g. LADY JOCELYN, dep. Calcutta 081063, arr. Auckland 101263)

New Zealand / Re: Ship "Maori" to Auckland 1864 Passenger Register
« on: Wednesday 10 April 24 22:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi John,

The voyage you mention departed from the Cape of Good Hope on 7 November 1864, according to the report published in the New Zealander on  24 December 1864, Page 4. This includes the passenger list.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01t3z/

I've searched Archway for 'micro5019' and also tried other search terms, all without success so far, but I'm certain they will still hold it.

But to answer your question, many passenger lists do not appear online.

Regards,

Spades

Hi Gdfoote, and welcome to RootsChat.

Reading the topic, it sounds like no one has yet discovered what happened to her.

You and Deelin might want to exchange email addresses and then discuss the family off-line. For personal privacy reasons we don't post email addresses on the forum, instead we do so via the private Personal Message ('PM') facility.

The PM facility is activated after new members make three posts, so please feel free to reply twice to this topic (just an emoji in the text field is fine). Then Deelin can send you a PM and you can reply.

If you have any questions at any time about RootsChat works, just ask on this topic or send me a PM and I'll help.

Regards,

Morning all,

I have sent an advisory PM to the original poster, HBelle, in the hope that they are still around. They were last logged on in 2017, so don't get your hopes up  :-\
