Lu, thanks so much for the link!

Maybe I should start a new thread asking for information on Henry Edward Stratford? He was quite known in New South Wales (lots of notices on Trove), but there are many inconsistencies regarding his age and nothing about this parents.

Yes ... splendid idea.   :)     

Set up your new thread on the Australian RootsChat board ...  but also include a link back to this New Zealand thread (for reference).

Good luck.

Hi PatLac

.... Yes, it's possible someone might be forthcoming with additional information (re: Henry Edward STRATFORD) ...  replies to threads are not always immediate though.   ;D

Hi again

^     This is the link to the Probate File for A.H.A. STRATFORD-HENNIKER.     He died in France.

It contains  a copy of his death certificate > partially written in French > but gives the names (in English) of his parents (from what I can make out ... I've only quickly browsed the document).

Hello PatLac ... welcome to RootsChat.   :)

I received an alert that a further posting had been made to this thread, but I'm afraid I'm a little bit lost as to what it is you are wanting to know ... (other than the one question you've posed at Reply #  )

It appears that the person who started this thread > HBelle > has not been active in this forum since 2017, so possibly you may not receive a reply ? 

Happy to endeavour to help you if you have further questions.   ;)

Ooops   ... just noticed your incoming post   ;D  ... but will hit the Send button regardless.

Death notice for John Thomas MILLAR :

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/SUNCH19150714.2.3

To date have only found this one notice of death (the day of death stated t as 12 July - although 13 July 1915 is given as date in probate file).

I can't find a burial for this man either (MILLAR / MILLER checked) but will look further.

Isabella too remains a mystery at this point.    Doesn't appear to have remarried and no death found.  Still to check further the "Isabella" name (often misspelled or mis-transcribed).

2. The big surprise to me - I have two wonderful, if very wrinkled, newsprint photographs of the double wedding of two Amor sisters, daughters of Elizabeth and Richard Amor. Isabella Amor, b1876, and Alison Amor, b1877, married in 1906 in the Leeston Town Hall. Isabella married John Thomas Millar. (As I write, I remember a family habit and that was to give the father’s name to the child but to use a second name in everyday life.) I have not yet found children for this family.


Hello again

Some snippets for you :       The husband of Isabella (nee AMOR), John Thomas MILLAR, died in July of 1915 aged 35 years.   She was the beneficiary of his Will dated August, 1914.   
There is no mention of any children in that Will, and like you, I was unable to find any births in the NZ index, registered to this couple.

We can help here too, to some degree  ;D ... and happy to do that.   :)

But just think that with the era you're focused on, later newspapers etc. and more locally-sourced info might give you better (and more immediate) results.  Here's hoping ....  good luck with your searching.   :)
