[tracn4]

I'm looking for the parents of John Ivan SMITH

He was born on 26 dec 1900 (in nz?) and married dorothy may JACKSON in 1930 in new zealand, he died on 10 nov 1963 in komakorau new zealand

We know he had a sister Hilda and a sister Ellen who married a jim/james FARAC,there were other sibling but my nana can't remember thier names

Can anyone help us find him?

Thanks

Hi tracn4

Have you already checked the NZ Birth index (online) ?

I had a look for John Ivan SMITH (between 1895 and 1905)
but found nothing.   

Perhaps he was born outside of New Zealand ?

His NZ marriage record would include parents names and is perhaps the best source of information, given that John Ivan would have supplied those details himself.
[His death record should also state his parents' names - but bear in mind, that information has been supplied by a "third party" - the informant to his death  - who may or may not, have got the details correct.]

Hi lucy2

Yes I've searched the bdm records for him with no luck only found his death reference
My nana is certain he was born around the hamilton area, but maybe she's wrong

I found the reference to his marriage at the library but it's outside the timeframe of years they have online on bdm so am I still able to order a copy or will I have to wait?
I'm not really sure what the rules or requirements are

Thanks for helping me with my queries its most appreciated

Hi tracn4

Yes, that marriage is "only just" outside the timeframe, but you can still purchase the record  (printout) of it, though there seems to be a "few hoops you need to jump through" in order to do so.   

I haven't had cause to order any myself since this new law came into force, but pretty sure all the instructions for ordering "non-historical" records, can be found on the BDM website.
