[nmg1]

Looking for information on Elizabeth Thompson married Joseph Gilmour 9th Nov 1900 in Meanee Presbyterian church Napier New Zealand.  They had 7 children and lived in Taradle.  I know her family was from Clive, Hawkes bay, New Zealand.

Hi and Welcome to the NZ Board

I will get our Moderator to move this to the Main Board where it will be seen, at the moment it is tucked away in the threads that have been completed.

Hi again,

What type of information are you after?    If you tell us what you have, then we won't double up on what you already have.

Hi

Her children were  Arthur, Robert, Elizabeth, Edward, Vera, James, I think there is another one but can't find it.  Her family were from Clive in the Hawkes bay. Don't know her birth/death dates, or anything about brothers/sisters, parents etc.

Anything would be great.

Thanks

Looking at the Electoral rolls for Elizabeth and Joseph from 1905/6 to 1919 both together at Greenmeadows Hawkes Bay
Joseph always a labourer.

1928 Elizabeth is at Avondale Road taradale by herself but says married.

In 1935 Joseph and Elizabeth at Avondale Road and he is now a cab proprietor.
Also in Avondale Road is James Henry Gilmour, orchadist and a Gwendoline May Gilmour spinster.
Is Gwendoline the missing child?

Hello...

As an alternative you could always try and contact a descendant of Joseph and Elizabeth and see if anyone in their extended family has already done the hard work.

You could try the following...

Found at Palmerston North Library "Manawatu Standard Newspaper Index"
http://ipac.citylibrary.pncc.govt.nz:8080/ipac20/ipac.jsp?menu=search

In the box "Name Browse (for births, deaths, etc)" type Gilmour William Edward
Note down the details for the marriage and death notices of William Edward GILMOUR (subject, date of article, page number etc).

As the death notice was published on the 17 July 1990 it's safe to assume it relates to BDM NZ Death 1990/44233 - GILMOUR, William Edward

Go to the Palmerston North Library contacts page here ....
http://citylibrary.pncc.govt.nz/staff-contacts.html
and send an email to the "New Zealand and Pacific Islands Librarian" asking for a copy of the two notices, giving the necessary details.
She is really helpful and will email you the notices usually within a day or two.

Assuming there are any :-) the death notice should mention children of William (i.e grandchildren of Joseph and Elizabeth). You can then check electoral rolls or similar (google, white pages, old friends, fb) and make contact. Then just ask if they know of anyone in the family with an interest in family history and, if so, would they mind pasing on your contact details to them.

Sounds a bit convoluted but why re-invent the wheel when a few emails could do the trick.

Or if you want I can email the library, get the notices for you and then just forward them to you :-)
