Where were they between 1869 & 1879

Hello...

The following probate may mention where Esther is in 1870. Possibly start a look-up request thread

READE Redmond - Taiharuru - Husband of Esther - 1870

1874/16980 Evans  Henry Embleney / Esther /Henry

Hi again...

The 1881 electoral roll has a Henry EVANS, labourer living in Kawakawa (which is fity-ish miles north of Taiharuru). Maybe Esther's second husband. Maybe not.

And there is an Ernest ALfred READER buried at Omaka Cemetery in Blenheim but I suspect it's a different person because there's a ten year age difference. Maybe start a digitisation request thread for his WW1 file which might/should list his parents.

READER, Ernest Alfred - WW1 80379 - Army -1914 - 1918

Actually, how likely is it for a 46 year old to have served in WW1....so maybe don't bother :-)

Hi Snook,

I'll request the WW1 file Beg mentioned:

READER, Ernest Alfred - WW1 80379 - Army -1914 - 1918
http://archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=20804537

He might have lied about his age.

Janette, I have the marraige cert, folio 2392 correct spelling.
Children could be, will have try & trace them forward?

Cheers Snook

Hello,

Interested to know if you found anything useful on the WW1 file for Ernest Alfred READER?? Were you able to establish as to whether or not he was one and the same as Ernest Alfred READE?

Was the name of the Reader wife, Mary Lilian?

Minniehaha.
