« on: Wednesday 27 June 18 11:08 BST (UK)  »
Tony Matijasevic (Matijasevich) born 03 May 1922 (not 100% certain) in Korcula - Croatia (known as Dalmatian Yugoslavia at the time).

Mother- Anna Rudolph; Father - Rudi Matijasevic

Family arrived in NZ around 1923-28 (when Tony was about 6 years), including brothers George, Max & Jimmy.
 
Settled in Northland. For some reason, Tony was raised by the Mathias family,  George went to the Yuri family and no idea where Max and Jimmy went.

Tony died in Rotorua, New Zealand 14 Feb 2005.

Daughter has been to Croatia twice. Set to go again in 3months. Wanting to connect with heritage more fully while there.

ALSO want to connect with Tony's brother's families (New Zealand)

All contributions greatly appreciated

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Family Fitzgerald
« on: Friday 05 January 18 01:12 GMT (UK)  »
This appears on my ancestor's death registration (NZ). Hoping someone can decipher the bottom name beginning with L, and to what the name refers - a place, or another family name?

These are the parents of Louis James Haddon who died in NZ 1905

James Haddon
*Flanora Haddon  (aka Hannah Fitzgerald Haddon)

New Zealand Completed Requests / Public Trust New Zealand
« on: Friday 29 September 17 01:52 BST (UK)  »
My Greatgrandfather, William Charles Gentry (b1870) had three sisters, Mary Martha who died a childless spinster at 21yrs, Rebecca who had two daughters, one who died at 9mths, and who had one daughter. Family history is silent on his third sister Katherine, apart from the fact that her assets were distributed to William's children & grandchildren. I have come across a probate document from 1952 for a woman who I am hoping IS my great aunt. I am going to write to the Public Trust to see if I can get any information to match what little we know of her to help us plan a family reunion. Has anyone had such assistance from the Public Trust Office?

Tipperary / James Haddon & Hannah Fitzgerald wedding, Clonmel Dec 1833
« on: Sunday 23 October 16 22:28 BST (UK)  »
Where would James Hadden born 1807 and Hannah born about 1812 have been married (3 Dec 1833, Clonmel). I see there is a RC Church in Clonmel, but They are buried in Anglican sections in Auckland New Zealand.
Daughter Mary Ann and son John were born in Clonmel.

I have early NZ information. I am planning a trip to the UK in 2018 and want to visit their homelands.
Any additional information will be most appreciated.

Armed Forces / Royal Artillery, Quebec 1837-1840
« on: Sunday 23 October 16 08:18 BST (UK)  »
James Hadden born about 1804 served in Quebec ... two sons, Charles Hadden (Haddon) born Isle Aux Noix 1837, and Robert Hadden, born Drummondville. Wife is Hannah, and older children are Maryann and John, both born in Ireland. (James and Hannah were married 3 Dec 1833 at Clonmel, Tipperary. No idea of venue, or birth dates and places, though, according to family tradition, James was probably born in Dysart, Fife, Scotland.
James was injured and released/retired at 39yrs old. He took up a Royal Fencible post and he and Hannah moved the family to New Zealand in 1852, in board the Berwick Castle.
John died on the voyage (noted in Tasmania Australia). Maryann died upon arrival in NZ, and Hannah two days later. James died in 1857. Robert died in 1860. This left Charles (@20yrs), and minors Andrew and Louis (Luellyn).
Information from the 'Statements of Service' Royal Artillery 5 Battalion shows James Hadden's Soldiers Number as 338

Any additional information will be most appreciated.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Auckland NZ orphanages 1850s-1860s
« on: Friday 12 August 16 10:50 BST (UK)  »
My great great great grandmother and daughter died a day or so after arrival in NZ in 1852.
Her husband died 5 years later. He was a Fencible. Two sons were 9 and 12yrs old, and two aged 18 and 20yrs. If willing, would the elder brothers have been able to raise the younger brothers, or would they have been taken into care?
