Hi Karen  

Have you already tried the online birth index ?

https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home

Unfortunately the names of parents don't (usually) show on the index, until about 1873-76    .... and of course, as you probably already know, we don't have the luxury with this online index, of knowing where the birth was registered.

The "James Barrowman HENDERSON" died in New Zealand - 1948.

yes thats as close i come to too. wander how i can see if he is the right one. i know the james i am looking for was born in dunedin.
this family could be right,as i found his james borrowman bother ,thomas herbert is buried in helensille in 1949 .
i know james lived in that area in 1897. so this could be the right family.


thanks

Hi Karen

Can I just ask please, did you have an earlier query about this James HENDERSON   ... I seem to recall the name (something to do with a marriage / re-marriage) ?

yes he was married to a lilly vercoe in 1897 and died before 1916 as she remarried at this date.

he seems to of drop out of sight, we where lead to believe he had being killed in a bush acc, i have tried reseaching the old papers but nothing so far.

only thing to try and track down his parents or his siblings if any.

thanks on any help

Hi Karen

Ok  ... found the previous thread.   

So he was supposedly aged 33 when he married in 1897  ... born circa 1864 ?    (But you think this age at marriage may not be right ?)
