George BRAMWELL was born 19.11.1883 in Greymouth New Zealand

His parents were William BRAMWELL born 1837 in Garrigill Cumberland England and
Elizabeth MILLICAN born 1839 in Garrigill Cumberland England.

The parents must have emigrated to New Zealand before George was born in 1883.
Later George BRAMWELL married Mary Christina CAMPELL who was born 1884 in Adelaide.

Their first child Horace BRAMWELL was born 16.07.1911 in Norwood Adelaide South Australia. 

Can anyone help further in finding the missing details?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Muffin,

Elizabeth and William had William in 1876,Thomas in 1878 and then George,you may want to check BDM's for further marriages of these

George BRAMWELL was born 19.11.1883 in Greymouth New Zealand

The parents must have emigrated to New Zealand before George was born in 1883.


Hi Muffin41

Maybe the NZSG member will be happy to share further information on the BRAMWELL family with you (but adding the following just in case.)  ;)

Yes, it appears Georges' parents arrived in NZ sometime before 1869, the year daughter Elizabeth's birth was registered.

http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/

"Grey River Argus" - 12 February 1919 - Personal Pars - page 3

[Obit. for Mrs. CAIRNEY (w/o John) -- 2nd d/o William BRAMWELL of Feilding -- Elizabeth BRAMWELL m. John CAIRNEY - 1897 :   Her surviving family (apart from husb. & 2 children) were her Father, 2 sisters and 5 brothers. ]

Not able to find a passenger list to NZ showing the arrival of the BRAMWELLs ??     [Immigrant ships did not land passengers on the West Coast of NZ (Greymouth / Hokitika) so the BRAMWELL family may have arrived by coastal vessel from another NZ port, or even from Australia.? ]

>>  click on "Cemetery records".

Lots of burial records on above site for BRAMWELL family members ... including photos of headstones.

[A BRAMWELL daughter, and sister of George, Alice (Margaret Alice), can be found under surname "SHORT".]

A check of FreeBDM appears to have a marriage for William Bramwell and Elizabeth Millican in the June quarter of 1861 in Alston Cumberland,they are on different pages due to what appears to be a transcription error

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

That may help narrow down the time frame for their travel to NZ
