Continuing Neil's possible scenario

   James Alexander Newman was tragically killed by a train in Armidale in 1898

reg no 529/1898    NEWMAN    James A    Thomas    Priscilla    ARMIDALE

  Amelia G Newman died in Armidale reg 3951/1925    NEWMAN    AMELIA G    76 YRS      ARMIDALE

  I tracked their registered sons - Robert Thomas, Willie and Vivian and they are accounted for

regards,

Any names for his siblings Don?

No I am afraid the only knowlege I have of his siblings is the reference to being the eldest son of mr H LINDHAL which was in the wedding announcement in the Wellington "Evening Post" of 17th January 1908 -  1 day after his marriage. See the advert here:

Hi Don....This is a strange lot for sure. On NSW BDM there are two marriages same year 1871 for what appears to be two brothers. One marries Sydney John Newman-Oldman to Jane Riley. Same year James Newman-Oldman marries in Braidwood NSW.

John and Jane have 16 children  variously scattered across the Monaro region near Canberra NSW. Quite a few die young, some survive a bit longer. Must have been interesting around the dinner table.

James and Amelia had 10 children one of which was a Priscilla She died young along with two others who both died 1889.

I dont believe you will find a Lindahl/Lindhal/Lindbeck travelling to NZ. You might find a Newman or a Newman-Oldman though.

I meant to say that although these two married under the name of Newman-Oldman, they both dropped the Oldman for the registrations since.

Just adding....James and Amelia were my great grandparents
 through their daughter Edith. James descended from convicts Thomas Newman and Mary Beck. James’ father was Thomas Newman. This name Newmanoldman first appeared as one long word  on the marriage certificate of James and Amelia. Love to know what prompted the change!
