Hi again Snook

Just so we can try to help with finding info for the people you asked about in your initial post ...

>  do you maybe have later information (after 1879) for Esther ??

I'm just curious, because if you are working backwards in the usual manner, (and you don't have details of Esther's son Ernest Alfred READE - other than his birth), then it would seem that you have possibly traced back from Esther ?

Hi Snook

Thanks  ... but I'm still a bit puzzled as to which "line" you are following here ?

>   Did Esther have other children ?

Hi Lu,

Ernest Alfred Reade is the main line i need.

But did he change his name to Ernest Alfred Evans??

Also where did Esther Lawrence come from??

I have not found any other children.

Hi Snook

Sorry, I don't want to confuse you.  :)   But I do want to "un-confuse" myself.   ;D 

Usually when we do our family histories, we work backwards from a known person e.g. let's say a great-grandfather named Ernest Alfred READE.   Then we find out who his parents were (his marriage cert. is generally the best source of information).   And from that we learn the names of his parents ... say Esther and Redmond.

So, do you already have an "Ernest Alfred" in your tree ?

Hi Lu,

Yes everyboby named is in my family tree.

All i'm trying to is find where Ernest was after 1869.

Hi Snook

I've done a comprehensive search of NZ (and some Australian) records, and haven't been able to find Ernest Alfred READE (and var.) or EVANS, sorry.   :(

If he had remained in New Zealand, then you'd expect him to probably show up on Electoral rolls from 1890.

While I have access to images for NZ electoral districts, 1893 is not amongst them unfortunately so am unable to view the earlier reference you gave for EVANS at Sarsfield Street, Auckland.

>   Did that (1893) roll show Esther and Henry EVANS at Sarsfield Street ?

>   So you know the occupation of Henry EVANS ?

Hi Snook

Somebody has a tree (online @ ancestry website) which mentions Redmond READE - 1829-1869 born Kilkenny, Ireland.

The entry for his wife, Esther LAWRENCE, only shows she was born about 1831.

The child named as the son of Redmond and Esther, is listed as >>

Redmond READE - Birth:  1868 - Taiharuru

[Obviously that listing does not tally with what is recorded in the NZ Birth Index.   
The tree seems only to follow the line of Redmond READE (b. 1829) and his Irish roots. ]
