Hi, well despite receiving a considerable amount of very useful information from NZ contributors, I didn’t manage to link my great uncle Henry’s wife Catherine Beech to the many NZ Beeches who are otherwise connected to my family, I’m sure she must be from the same heritage. I’ll PM some info to you which may be of interest. Thanks for getting in touch.

I've tried the following but it just takes you around in a circle:
On the enquiries page type "Marriage Bonds" in the basic search box and submit.
This takes you to Knowledge Base Results in www.questionpoint.org
Click on Question 1 "can I find the Marriage Bond of my grandparents"
This opens an answer page which says that Marriage bonds can be found by searching the Library's catalogue and gives you a link, but the link just takes you back to the Welsh version of the Catalogue page.
I wonder should it actually take you to a Marriage Bond search page?
What do you think? might be worth asking NLW about it?

An easier link, but I  still have problems finding marriage Bonds.

Please let us know if/when you find them!
Thanks

Thank you so much for this search link. The NLW has become virtually incomprehensible, without this I just wouldn't be able to find any Wills at all!
Much appreciated
Cheers

Maldwyn's birth wasn't 1908, it was 23/08/1911
Sorry

Mollipops1, I have two threads open on this topic because I originally posted in the wrong place.
I've put your response here in the 2nd thread so that all the info is kept together.

Is this the right family??

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sooty/hey.html

If so, Edward & Edith BEECH (nee JONES) had the following children in NZ:
Raymond Lloyd b. Dec 1907 (reg 1908), d. 1976
Gwladys Mary b. 1909
Vera Elizabeth b. 1911
Edith Myfanwy b. 1912
Phyllis Gwendoline b. 1913

Some good Welsh names there :)

Possible death as Edith Anne BEECH in 1942 aged 67 (reg 30752) and Edward in 1973 (reg 42380), born 13 Nov 1882.

See https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search

Also https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers and https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/

P.S. The family travelled to the UK returning to NZ in 1920. Edith is shown as Edith Ann Ruthin NW BEECH b. c1876 and Edward as Edward Green Park BEECH b. c1883 (may be birthplace - Ruthin, North Wales?) which fits death info above. The children were with them.
 

Yes, they are part of the family (cousins). You will see reference to Vera Hey (nee Beech) and her sister Phyllis Gwendoline in the previous posts above. Their mother was Edith Ann Jones born at Plymog Farm, Llanferres, nr Mold. I didn't know they lived at Green Park (which is very close to my home in Llanrhydd, Ruthin!).

Thank you for this info, it is all useful stuff, however I still trying to link Robert Henry Jones's wife Catherine Beech, into these Beeches - I'm sure they are connected.

Wow! Thank you Rae & Minnie for all your information - where do I start?  I shall chase up the Will for Cecil Lloyd Jones that could be useful. Cecil was the only male offspring of Robert and Catherine Jones and I don't have info on any children he may have had. The interview with Ceridwen is very useful, it says it can't be released without permission of the owner Anita Carlise (granddaughter) so that could put me in touch with the family. I knew about Vera Hey, came across it on the web, but thanks anyway. Don't know whether poor Denis Jones is connected, may be a son of Cecil - we'll see.
Thank you both for your efforts
David
