When did Myra BRAMWELL go to New Zealand?

[Muffin41]

Myra Gladys Bramwell was born December 1912 in Adelaide South Australia.
She married Raymond Pow in Auckland New Zealand in 1947.

Can anyone help find more information about her for me?

Perhaps the information you are seeking will be on her Death Certificate.  For example, Aussie death certs state 'how long in colonies'.

I couldn't find any record for her at FamilySearch or RootsWeb.

I did a quick search of the Archway Archives of New Zealand site and found a 1987 probate and a 1944 land valuation file for a Raymond Hector POW.

Hi Muffin,

What sort of information do you hope to find?

Myra Gladys BRAMWELL was born 23 Oct 1912 Norwood Dist Nor Symbol S 896 343 parents George BRAMWELL and Mary Christina CAMPBELL. There is a second entry for Myra's birth  - the only difference I can see is the reg no Book 7a 333

also

Horace Gordon BRAMWELL was born 16 July 1911 Norwood Symbol S 867 175 (parents George Bramwell and Marjorie Christina CAMPBELL second entry lists mother as Mary Christina 7a 332. Symbol S signifies additional information. - three entries she is Mary Christina one she is Marjory Christina so possibly this. I do not see a marriage listed for this couple.

Cheers Kris

Looks like the family did not emigrate with Myra.

Hi,

Thank you all for your valuable information.

I was looking for Myra Bramwell´s birth details,  plus any information about her family.
Thank you for all the information you have given me so far.


I have been told that Myra and George Hector Pow had at least three children all born in Auckland New Zealand.

(*)


George Hector Pow´s parents where born in Bath Somerset and I have the details of this side of the family.

Do you know if the Bramwell family also immigrated from England?

George Bramwell was born 19 Nov 1883 at Greymouth, N.Z. His father was William Bramwell (1837 - 1921), mother Elizabeth Millican (1839 - 1900). William Bramwell and Elizabeth Millican were both born at Garrigill, Cumberland, England.

They were also my G-Grandfather and G-Grandmother.
