Thank you omega re GRO.  I've just discovered another chatter who has asked questions many years ago about other members of the same extended family. So I will message her too.

Pembrokeshire / John Henry THOMAS
« on: Monday 08 December 14 07:17 GMT (UK)  »
abt 1820 - 1879 married Henrietta Fowell CANAVAN 1834 - 1890. I have the children , occupation etc

My brick wall is John's  father - I cannot find a name to start with. One suggestion from an online tree is Thomas THOMAS b 1796 but I cannot evidence it and no response from tree manager.

Can anyone help me find John's father or even his mother please? I have looked on various paid/non paying sites, in the Welsh censuses and online records to no avail.   :'( This is my paternal pedigree line

This has been VERY helpful for other family I'm researching and so far they are up to 1929 for Dunedin

Hi Beg

Thanks for your search results and response. I continue to beaver away in the background on this and consider the points you raise.  :) I had to order this death cert just in case there were any further clues to at least try and eliminate this J.S....

In the book "Svenskarna Inya Zeeland" (Akl Library Research Centre) a John Smith is shown as having married in Sweden and came to New Zealand 1857 . see attached photo with Father named. wondering if this has anything to do with my Mary and John?

You might also want to keep an eye on FamilySearch. They recently started uploading Dunedin Court probate files so maybe they'll add a few Invercargill Court files too.

Thank you Beg for this headsup about familysearch.org. I had a major find for a  g.grandfather's probate on that site recently and will continue to visit. 

No luck with any SUISTED connections to my Mary yet, but always on the lookout...

Thank you kindly Beg for unearthing that possible connection, and providing the link. It looks promising!

We have planned a trip to Waikouaiti and Dunedin specifically to unearth ancestry info - visiting the Heritage Centre, Otago Settlers Museum, grave sites etc. This won't be til Feb 2015 but I would especially like to do this particular search myself, and have started the process to access those records. Whether I can wait that long tho remains to be seen! :D Thanks Beg

Hi Ian

I've attached a copy of the original marriage cert just received, which has a little more info and is a clearer image.
