New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Riria Hopewai and her parentage
« on: Wednesday 28 September 22 08:17 BST (UK)  »
I also now have the copy of the actual burial record of Riria from Shortland Cemetery records I got today from the Treasury. Her name on death cert and burial are both as Lirria, but her will says Riria so a bit of a mystery on the actual spelling of her name, and without the ability to get a birth certificate she will be listed in Find a Grave as Lirria (Riria)

I'm a descendant, through David Kennedy Hutchison's daughter Mary.  I have two photos I have tried to identify, all I know are they are Hutchison's, would love to know if anyone can tell me their names!! And any info you could throw my way Id appreciate too :)
I found an exert photocopied from a book in my mums family records about David Kennedy Hutchison - diary's and hand written letters published and a bit of info, its about 20 pages copied, but no reference to where she got it from, or what the book was titled.
Any help greatly appreciated

On my side I am the only one researching and wanting to find information, and to give to give my aunt some information as she knew nothing, she is the only surviving daughter of Ralph. Last night I spent an hour or two going through immigration records, nothing that matches parents George and Elizabeth or George 2nd. SIGH I also tried other spellings. I'm hoping it just hits on something in the future.........if I hunt hard enough.
On George 2nd daughters Olive Clara's Birth she was registered by Agent J A? Storey " Agent authorised in writing by Clara Dixon person present at birth" (Helens sister) and in name of child Olive Clara "not present", she was registered 2 months later 17th August 1901 in Thames, but born 23rd June 1901, that's interesting why it took so long to register her, father listed as born Birmingham England
I wish I had a time machine!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,
No I don't have poppas birth certificate (Ralph), was going to order them at some stage in the future as it costs and I am limited on funds at the moment. I am Ralph's son - Trevor Robertson's daughter (just to explain how I am related, my maiden name was Robertson).
I am thinking at the time George 2nd died it was Scotland was place of birth but all other docs so far say Birmingham of what I have, but then I don't have many due to cost. Not even Poppas death certificate, Robertson family didn't keep those things dammit!!!!
I'm not sure who may have supplied the information of his death, I've been doing genealogy on and off for many years.  In most cases the father registered the child when born, so Birmingham may have been what he said too. At time of death there were the ages of all children listed, I have the original from the death register book from Thames. And his parents listed were just surnames Robertson, which is interesting! And says he had been in NZ for 69 years, which means he was aged two when immigrating, but I am yet to find records of emigration! Cause surely his family would have at that age, still hunting. I admit I have even checked convict records just incase. Its a real mystery, but Im not giving up!!!

Zylar22, I cant find that.
From records George Robertson (we will call him 2nd) was born 1875-1876 in "Birmingham" according to marriage record and discounting year of marriage and age 25 it works out to 1876 (if he was telling truth of age), mother Elizabeth Rose, Father George 1st, marriage to wife Helen Dixon 13 Feb 1901 (father George 1st was still alive as listed as laborer and parents if deceased was noted on certs.
I've looked up dates, immigration records to NZ, still cant find the sod (George 2nd)!!! Im not sure about the Richardson, or the Eliza, as this could be shortened but usually full names were used in official documents.
On your post it was in Bingham, do you mean Birmingham??? This has been a mystery..............and unless some miracle Im not sure we will find an answer
