New Zealand Completed Requests / Wellington Archives Look up Please
« on: Wednesday 21 April 21 18:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Can someone do two lookups in the Intention to Marry records please. Unfortunately I only know the year of marriage not a specific month so I don't know how easy that is. Are these recent records actually available???
1. Walter Frederick Selling and Ann Victoria Mckeown in 1932
2. George Albert Jowsey and Annie Elizabeth Stevenson 1947

Thank you in advance
KK

Hi Alan

An even bigger thank you. I saw the records were restricted but hadn't realised the restriction would apply to someone who started school in 1920. I even looked at the notice under the restrictions and it said as follows:-

Access Details: Registers of admission, progress, and withdrawal are restricted for 60 years from date of record closure.

What does that notice mean???? I had presumed it would be okay. THank you so much for pleading my case. I will definitely fire off an email to the Auckland Archives.

I am pretty sure here in the UK if they start school before the 100 year cut off you can still see their record.
It is a learning curve.
Once again many thanks .
Kind Regards
KK

Hi Alan
Photos all received. One issue that was highlighted for me is that the person who I was looking, Annie Elizabeth Stevenson didn't appear to be there but she was. Her family called her Nancy and this was the name used in the admissions records. I had expected her 'proper name'. If I was to do this kind of request again I would include all known names.

Alan, you did an amazing job by including all the Stevensons/Stephensons in a time period so I had the bonus of picking up Nancy and another family member. You have made my day!!!

Hi Alan

What a star!!
As you say these registers do look very fragile. I was surprised the NZ Genealogy Society hasn't got hold of them to digitise. They were my first port of call when I was searching for these records along with a couple of other school's records.
I look forward to hearing from you sometime. No rush.

Hi
Thanks for the dating and the 'light touch'. The dating helped because one of them emigrated to New Zealand in 1903 and the other didn't until 1908/09 so I would think it was taken in New Zealand.
Many thanks

Hi Everyone

This is my second effort at loading photos. Hopefully this time it will be okay. I am hoping someone can improve the image of these two ladies. One is my grandmother born 1883.

Look forward to hearing from anyone.

Will load second photo once I know this one is successful.
Many thanks
