Hi Colin

Confirming marriage on the NZ Index :

Henry TOMKINS - Mary HEYWARD - 1866

[Note spelling for Mary is  shown as  "HEYWARD]

 ---   just adding .... that our NZ Marriage Index, does not give the "place of marriage".

Further ... an 1866 (NZ) marriage record, did not state the names of the parents of the bridge and groom.    (See the Resources section of this board - under "BDM Information" - if wanting additional details of the contents of certificates.)

Hi again Colin

Spotted a couple of mentions of "a Henry TOMKINS" on our PapersPast website.   

[Nothing really significant though ... and don't be alarmed when you see "Resident Magistrate's Court" pop up  when you search on his name.       ]

---   at familysearch.org, there is a submitted entry  for Henry TOMKINS - Mary HAYWARD ...  which shows place of marriage as being "Invercargill".    [Invercargill is in the Southland region (bottom of South Island) - rather than in the Otago province].
