My Father- Victor David Ivor Whitney

[diana2646]

Does anybody know of my Father, Victor David Ivor Whitney, who went to Wellington, New Zealand to work,  from 1926 - 1929

Hi diana2646

Welcome to RootsChat. 

Perhaps you could expand a little more on just what it is you are trying to find out ?

Obviously, as it's over 80 years since your father was in New Zealand, persons who knew him, are very probably no longer around, to answer questions.

Do you have an idea of where your father was employed ?

Was he born 1893? If so he went to school in Wellington (from NZSG records)
Just wondering when you say went to Wellington 1920'3 maybe another person/relation

Oooh   ... perhaps you're onto to something there, Althea ??   

[I'd only found a "Victor David I. WHITNEY" birth on FREE BDM - registered MAR 1909 at Neath ]

[Thamesite2017]

There seems to be a different birth date on each record from 1894-1895
No I can't find him on BMD under a variant. Father was given as Charles..??overseas

Hi, My Father was born Neath, England, 1908. Moved to London as a small child. Sailed from Southampton 1926 for Wellington. Am sending a picture in a seperate maybee a relative will recognise the New Zealand man who is on the right of the two men. Would like to know the family my Dad stayed with,  thanks Diana

[Thamesite2017]

They surely must be related, very uncommon names, to have same name as someone born in 1890's
