New Zealand Completed Requests / McGregor - Thames Coromandel
« on: Monday 15 June 09 11:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am working on my McGregor family history and would welcome any information.

Alexander McGregor and Sophia Hohipaia Ngapuhi had several children one of which was my great grandfather John Alexander born about 1862 Kennedys Bay.

John Alexander McGregor married Mary Taruke Taite (born Raglan 1870).

I would love to hear from anyone that knows any further information or can help me find out more about Alexander and Sophia and their descendants.

Kind regards

Lanarkshire / John Burns and Agnes Leitch
« on: Thursday 26 March 09 08:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Can anyone kindly help me - I am trying to find out who the parents and siblings of John Burns born Carlton, Glasgow abt 1817.

John Burns (baker) married Agnes Leitch 1846 - I have seen details of their marriage on Scotlands People - there was a ref number stated  They were married by Duncan McFarlan, Minister of the High Church Parish and the Principal of the University of Glasgow.

Were there certificates issued in Scotland in 1846? If so where could I send for a copy?

This is definitely the John Burns that I am trying to trace.  I have also found them in the 1851 census - prior to them leaving Scotland for NZ.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Crystal

New Zealand Completed Requests / Edward William Lewis and Maria Burns Auckland
« on: Friday 06 February 09 23:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am trying to find details of a marriage between Edward William Lewis born 1820 Gloucestershire came to NZ with the 58th Foot Rutlandshire reg.  He married Maria Burns at Auckland late 1840s.  Their children all born at AK - Angelina born 1850, Edward William 1852, Maria born 1853 and Andrew Jonathan 1859.

Maria Burns ( I have been told passed away 1862)?  I believe Maria's brother lived in Thames (John Burns) and they may have come from Barony Glasgow.

Any information or advice would be welcomed.

Thanks

Gloucestershire / Jonathan Lewis and Angelina Cockserge

Hello

I am trying to find out any information regarding Jonathan Lewis and Angelina Cockserge married St Stephens, Bristol 1820.

I believe they had a son named Edward born 1821 and a son Jonathan born1823?

I am trying to make a connection between my Edward William Lewis married Auckland NZ 1845 to Maria Burns.

I think Edward may have gone to NZ either with his parents Jonathan and Angelina or on his own or with other family members.

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

Regards
