Hi Mackiwi,

This is not your 'man', but thought you would be interested that a Frederick Perrin and his wife Louisa are buried at Havelock North cemetery.  You may very well already have this information, but worth a try in case they are related.

Good luck,

Hi Taonga1,

Wondered if you had checked out the passenger list of Skiold - looks like your Lankow and Schwass families?

My apologies if this is 'old news'.....
Good luck,

Thanks 777 - I'll do a search for it and see if I can get hold of a copy.  Really special to be your first call to Rootschat, although I've a hunch it will be just the beginning for you - such a wonderful site to be a part of - a team with such helpful, thoughtful and generous members.

Thanks too Aghadowey - so many apologies for taking sooo long to reply to you - I've been somewhat snowed under with lots of other things for a while, so its exciting to be back 'in the seat'.  It looks as though this Dilworth family were out of Donaghmore, County Tyrone and some of them apparently moved to Portadown, County Armagh around the time of the potato famine.  I'm afraid I have lots to learn about Irish genealogy, so I will store your information with care - I can't as yet see how it fits directly but I know how these gems can prove to be invaluable, so thanks heaps.

Special thanks J.J. - I have yet to get Eleanor's birth certificate, so your information on her birth details will be invaluable - it looks very likely!

What at team!
Thanks again to all,
Abby

Thank you so much Janice, Karen, Jorose and J.J.,

I so much appreciate your help and interest.  I interloaned a copy of The Dilworth Legacy - it was really interesting and has given me a better understanding.   I also managed to pick up a copy of 'A Heritage in Trust' by GL Pearce which included some family tree information - an unexpected bonus. 

The links you provided have me sailing off on several 'hot' leads.

Thank you again and good luck to you all in your own searchings,
Abby

I am so thrilled - I got home from work, straight onto the computer and there is so much information waiting - I'm blown away.  Thank you so much.  I will go and digest it all.  I can interloan the book from Dunedin  through our library here in Hastings. 

This genealogy bug is such a buzz - all the more so with such amazing help.  Wow!!  I would put masses of smilies on here if I knew how (LOL).

Thank you again,
Abby

Hi Janice,

Using your link to 'The Dilworth Legacy' I found both Thomas Mossman and Eleanor listed which could be promising.  If this is a book index as it appears, I can't find a mention of who the author is.  An author would help me try to access the book here or perhaps copies of the relevant pages through a Canadian library?

You can probably tell that I'm hopeful................. now back to those links!

Thanks so much Janice - I started checking out some of your links then realized this is going to take me some time, so dashed back to say a great big thank you.  Not only have you provided me with great sites to explore, but you have also given me hints, information and advice - what more could I have wished for.

This might take me a while but I will certainly let you know when I find anything.  Its a shame I have to go to work tomorrow and I guess I should catch some sleep soon too, so I had better get back to it.

Thanks again,
Abby

Hi fellow Rootschatters,

I'm in New Zealand and even though I have tried some of your wonderful links to Canadian online resources, I haven't had any luck with the following...

My husband's paternal g.grandparent's marriage certificate has his g.grandmother, Mary Esther MOSSMAN's place of birth as Kingston, Canada.  They were married in Waipawa, New Zealand in 1880, with her age as 21, which would have her birth around 1859?  Her parents are listed as Thomas MOSSMAN and Eleanor WILWORTH (I think it might actually be meant to be DILWORTH).

I currently have no idea when, or how, they came to New Zealand, but help with Mary's birth would be so much appreciated and would give me something to work on.

Thanks heaps from a hopeful Kiwi, 
Abby
