Hello...

Would it be possible to have a look-up in the following item. Hopefully there is some sort of index

WO 22/277
Army and other pensions paid out locally in New Zealand - June 1875
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C168800

I'm looking for a pensioner by the name of George THOMAS, regimental number 1989, late of the 70th Foot. He was discharged in Auckland, NZ in September 1863 but there doesn't seem to be any Army Pension Books for that period. Hopefully he was still alive and receiving a pension in NZ in 1875.

It's possible that he may have returned to Co.Antrim by mid-1878. If he turns up in the above 1875 Pension Book would it be possible to see if he's still in NZ in late 1877.

WO 22/286
Army and other pensions paid out locally in New Zealand - September 1877
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C168809

As I said earlier, hopefully there is an index. If not, feel free to call time

EDIT:

Could I also ask one additional favour.

Would it be possible to look at the following item and give me a rough description of what it contains.

WO 246/19
Royal Hospital Chelsea: Letter books - Volume 19
8 Aug 1867 to 1 Oct 1869
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C169642

I'm trying to find what I think is an "Army Form No.31" dated 9 Sept 1868 which mentioned an increase in the pension of George THOMAS.

The "Army Form No.31" may have the reference number "G35649". Hopefully the above Letter Book contains lots of different army forms, all organised by reference number.

For what it's worth, the prefix "G" covered the mid-1860's to the early 1870's so the reference number may simply be "35649".

Many thanks

Hi all...

I'm trying to find a Norwegian birth record which corresponds to the following 1881 crew list...

Daniel HENDRIKSON
Age:24
Birthplace: Drammen

I've had a look on Digitalarkivet but with no success. I was wondering if someone with more Norwegian experience would mind having a look as well. It's very possible that I've missed the obvious.

Many thanks

Hi all...

In New Zealand when purchasing a B, M or D certificate we have the choice between a scan of the relevant register (known as a printout) and a transcription of the register (known as a certified copy). Is there the same option in Australia, in particular WA.

There is a certified copy of a WA marriage certificate which I think has transcription errors. I would like to view the actual marriage register from which the info was taken.

Hello...

Would anyone be able to see if there's a school record for Thomas KING b.1879 and his two sisters Margaret b.1881 and Anastasia b.1883. They were all born and raised in Wellington.

From about 1885 onwards there were no parents around so I wondered who their guardian was. Their father was also named Thomas KING. He died in 1884. Their mother was Anastasia KING m.s MAHER d.1891

The sisters were at St Josephs Industrial School until 1887 then were "boarded out".

They may even have had a younger brother born c.1887 although I'm not sure who the father was.

Any help appreciated.

Regards
Beg

Hi all...

Would some kind soul be able to have a quick look at the following bankruptcy affadavit and see if there are any family details mentioned. Ideally a street address in Wanganui or Wellington. A mention of family members would be expecting too much but who knows.

Not too concerned with the list of assets, not that there were many by all accounts.

There's no need for photographs (unless that's easier for the looker-upper)

And there's absolutely no urgency whatsoever :-)
