NZ Electoral Rolls 1853-1981

[Fleetfoot]

Hi Althea,

Thanks very much for the welcome message and the info.

Regarding the thread subject I am now a bit confused as the initial post was asking about a Henry Baylie Cullerne born 8 Sept 1856 in Gravesend, Kent which is a match I have in my family tree but now Isobelruss you say he was baptised in 1819?

I did point out that I am new to this and I may have errors (ie wrong parent names) further down the ancestral line, but as there were unlikely to have been two Henry Baylie Cullernes born in Gravesend in 1856 I thought it was worth asking if there was a family link.

sorry fleetfoot.

Henry Baylie Cullerne was born 8 Sep 1856 baptized as an adult 19 Nov 1884 at same place he married in 23 Apr 1885 to Alice Rebecca Edwardes his certificate gives Baylie Henry Cullerne as his father and I have him on census with him and his mother Mary Ann Cartwright.He had a daughter with Alice in 1887 Gladys Mary Cullerne.I have her marriage,baptism and will.He disappeared from England after her birth and appears in Australia.

Hi Fleetfoot
Sorry to confuse
What I meant was if you have a new query on the family it may help to start a thread with the heading eg
Baylie Henry Cullerne in New Zealand

People looking would see this current thread as query on an electoral roll
so sometime you are more likely to gather new family info and contacts if the thread name lures them to click and find more

Great to see some new poster popping in
Bye
Althea

Hi there - can anyone help please with electoral roll in 1936 in Christchurch new Zealand.   I am trying to get the actual date of birth for Alfred William Wayman - born in Camberwell London in probably 1873. (Arrived NZ 1927 I think).  Thanks, pauline

Hi Pauline

Mmm ... the electoral rolls won't help you in finding "date of birth" for this man.

The was no Christchurch e/roll in 1936 ... 1935 is the nearest.

1935 - Canterbury - Avon Roll

WAYMAN

- Alfred William - occupation:  cook
- Arthur Herbert - pastrycook
- Rose Ann - married    .... all residing at 48 Bligh Street.

This death > @ NZ BDM (online)

1950 - WAYMAN - Alfred William Blundell - 78 years   [bc 1872 ]

Is this who you were looking for ?

If thats your man that Lucy found heres his marriage

5 Nov 1905
Alfred William Wayman 38 bachelor  cook abode 128 Waterloo Street,Father Watson Wayman(deceased) compositor
Rose Ann Cook 29 spinster of 18 Caspian Street,father George Cook french polisher
Emmanuel Church Camberwell.

so he would have been born 1867

But on most census hes was born 1873
they had twin daughter
Ada Elsie and Edith Florence baptised 21 Oct 1906 born 12 Aug 1906 Edith Florence died.Baptised Camberwell. Also another child Frederick born 1910.
do any of these names match your Alfred?
Alfred was born Lambeth.He had a sister Annabella born 1852 who I suspect could be his mother as his parents would have been a little old and such a massive age difference between the 2 children.
