I am searching for a John Northover READ (quite a few of them around) born c1846 Portland Dorset, who has disappeared after the 1881 census when he was living with his parents at the Chesil New Hotel Portland Dorset age 30. Occ. Baker. On the 1871 census age was given as 24.
On the 1911 census a John Northover READ, born Portland Dorset, age 69 is living at 47 Grimsby St Norwich. Occ. Dealer in Work of Art. Married to Elizabeth also 69 for 15 years.  Giving a birth year c1842 and marriage year about 1896.
 So far have not found them on the 1901 census or anything about Elizabeth before this marriage.
There is a marriage on Family Search for Elizabeth HALSE and John READ at Norwich St Helen, Norfolk England.
FHL Film Number: 1565303 and also another with a Record Number of 23145 which shows
John Read Principal England, Norfolk, Parish Registers (County Record office), 1510-1997
residence: October 0009 St Helen  Spouse: Elizabeth Halse
marriage:  October 0009 Norwich St Helen, Norfolk England
Can anyone explain what October 0009 means??
I haven’t been able to find this marriage on FreeBMD or A’try so cannot order the Certificate to see if this is the correct John Northover READ.
Any help to track down this marriage record to help prove or not that this is the elusive John would be much appreciated.
Will also post a query on the Dorset board to ask for assistance and cross link the posts when done.
Thank you

Hello Ayashi,
I don't know if this will be any help to you, but in 2014 I had a headstone repaired in Cambusnethan Cemetery in Scotland. I live in New Zealand and, as you can see, had a lot of help and advice as to how to go about it. The before picture is taken after the stones were dug out, they were standing,  but both buried as deep as Dear Mother and New Zealand.
Can't be too sure of the cost but think it was in the region of about £2,000, but prices are sure to have risen since then.   Here is the link to the thread.

Best of luck with the restoration.

Hello Debra,
Thanks for your reply. I haven't splashed out on his marriage record as yet.  I don't know if there are any other children born in those years. Have only started researching this branch.
On the Waikaraka Cemetery Record for Joseph Cochrane's Burial he is listed as born in NZ and one of his daughters, Ada, is buried there as well and she is listed as being born in Australia c1887. Another daughter Mary c1888 and son Jos Konlson Laurence ( Joseph Knowlson Lawrence) c1890-1891 were also born in Victoria. But have found no other Australia records so far.
Joseph's son Raymond Nelson c1897 in NZ gives his Father's Birth Country as NZ on his WW11 Military Attestation Form.
So back to the hunt.
Cheers

Hello kentishkiwi,
I was also looking for a Coroner's Inquest Report and thanks to your post and a wee bit of time have managed to find the one on my man.  It mentions he was in Gisborne Gaol so will now go to the Police Gazettes and try to find him there.
Thank you for your very useful link.
Cheers
HeatherR.
