This is the first time I have researched in New Zealand and wonder if someone can help me prove information that I have received from someone to be correct.

Robert Walker was born in North Berwick East Lothian Scotland c 1852  he and Janet Smith (aka Jessie )she was born also in East Lothian c 1839 married  when  and where I have no idea . Jessie died c 1886
in New Zealand Robert remarried and also died there c 1931

Thanks
Jessie

Hi
Not sure what proof you are looking for here.
There is an 1874 marriage for jessie Smith and Robert Walker which would fit. You can search for it and order certificate if you want https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/

And a death registered there too for Janet Walker in 1886, aged 47

Hi Jessie,

1874/12895 Jessie  Smith to Robert  Walker  exact date 31/10/1874

The marriage cert will show very little as the early registations only had
Bride and Groom

When and where married
Name and Surname
Age
Rank or profession
Condition
Name of officiating minister (or Registrar)
When registered

Signatures

Signatures of bride and groom
Signatures of the witnesses
Signature of officiating minister (or registrar)

This changed in 1880 when

Father's name and surname
Father's rank or profession
Mothers name and Maiden surname

was added.

As Robert was probably the informant for Janet's death her death "printout" would be a better option,printouts usually contain more information than a legal certificate as it is a copy of the register entry,

 
1886/3293 Walker  Janet  47Y

Cheers Janette
