New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Photo Identification of Couple
« on: Friday 25 January 19 08:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hello again and thank you for your latest comments. Unfortunately the only response I have managed to elicit from 'Bex' is the following:

"I strongly believe that
My aunty Jessie,her four brothers   may have been born somewhere in New Zealand for example Napier, hawke'sbay new Zealand"

I've just received this from 'Bex' also:

I have a feeling that the guy in the photo could have been aunty Jessie's brother
Is there a possibility that the guy in the photo could have been Adrian Ferguson
It looks like that lady next to him could have been his wife
Yes I reckon that the photo of that lady and that man would have been taken in New Zealand
I also have a feeling that that guy could have committed sucide by discovering his brother William henry Ferguson, William's wife and their two kids (were) murdered including their family pet named lilly

I strongly believe that aunty Jessie died from a broken heart by discovering that (the) man (in the photo) who I strongly believe was aunty Jessie's younger brother (Mason?) who shot himself in the head because of what he saw.

Hello,

Thanks for you comments.  I have asked 'Bex' (again) for some clues/answers to your questions.

In the past she has mentioned that "Jessica's family imigrated from overseas to Napier new Zealand".

Also (in past emails) she has said "I am very certain that my aunty Jessie's middle name was Elizabeth and that my aunty Jessies last name was Anderson
I am also very certain that my aunty Jessie was born on the 9th of October 1900
Two of my aunty Jessie's brothers names were Mason and William"

I hope 'Bex' will reply soon and I'll pass on any further info.

Thanks for your comments.  I have been able to open the JPG file so may I describe what is in it. Imagine a completely blank (white) sheet with a thin horizontal line across the middle.  Just like the back of a postcard with no other markings.

Hi,

For two months now I have been trying to help 'Bex' who contacted me because she found my name (on WikiTree) connected to a nurse that was drowned during WWI when a hospital ship (SS Marquette) was torpedoed in the Mediterranean Sea (1915).  The nurses name was Helena Kathleen Isdell (I put her on WikiTree). :(

'Bex' has been providing me with numerous surnames and names of people she 'thinks' are connected to her. But so far she has not confirmed that any of my findings are of any use to her.... so I keep going (why I do not know ::))!

The photo, and the two names, are her latest offering. How accurate her information is I do not know.  She has been persistent in stating that she has an uncle (or maybe great uncle) whose name is Mason or Mace, and aunties 'Jessie Elizabeth' and 'Claire' but I have not found any connection with her most likely surnames (below) incl. Ferguson.

Here is a statement in an email from her: "I am realated to Luke Jamieson Evans,the Willis family,the Mckeevey family,the McKinley family,the Wilkie family,the dew family, the Drew family,the Anderson family,the McKenzie family, the York family,the Palmer family,the ogg family, the McLean family,the ward family,the cook family, the McDonald family the mckintosh family, the Baker family, the McCormack family".

P.S. I have attached a .jpg version of Reverse of Photo.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your replies. I have emailed several questions to the holder of the photo and, so far,  only received a photo of the reverse.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.  I don't have the photo myself but the person who does says there is nothing on the reverse.

Hello Genedetectives!

It's another very tough one. A photo of Claire and her husband Mace or Mason - surname(s) unknown. We think they may have ended their days in New Zealand. We have absolutely no other information. Any assistance much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

FANTASTIC!  Thank you very much and well done to DB for your superb effort and also thank you to everyone else who has taken the time and trouble to read and ponder the answer to my question and photo.

I'm thrilled to know who these people are, and for Cathy to reply is a bonus!  My grandma would be very happy to know what you have achieved and hopefully I can email Cathy directly and explain who I am and why I have this photo.

I have a few photos each with 30+ people in them.... your next assignment (maybe)!!

Thank you,
Kevin

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your comments.  I have found another possibility unfortunately. This one rang a very old bell with me because of the name "Kitty".  Here are their details:

Edward Francis M. DAVIS b. 1891 in Montevideo, Minnesota, USA & d. 1968 in Snohomish, Washington, USA

but he married in 1919 in Calgary,

Catherine (Kitty) FRANCIS b. 1902, Sunderland, England & d. Tacoma, Washington, USA

This couple had 5 children: Leonard Joseph, Eva Catherine, Mary Frances, Josephine, and Hugh Edward between 1919 and 1927.

Thanks,
Kevin
