Hi Magne,

Going through the steps (and probably tripping over on the way) provided by Twiggy Tree I have found that a copy of the applications are held at Auckland:

http://archway.archives.govt.nz/ItemAdvancedSearch.do

I'll still look for the file at Wellington because I want to learn something new, so bear with me.

I could be wrong on this count, but I think ALL naturalisation files are held in Wellington.

Spades! I just go this reply from Archives, so you don't have to use your time on this subject.

I have resized the file. Hope it is still ok to read.
Question: Can more info be found about the naturalisation? This seems very terse.

Yes, only this one. Is it complete?

Hi Magne,

I went in to Archives this morning and despite seeing the image above I decided to order the file for my own experience.

Being me, I got it wrong  ::) and asked the Archivist for help. I mentioned that there seemed to be only one page in the file and the Archivist expressed surprise, suggesting that such files could run to several pages.

I intend to go back early next week to see the file and if there are other pages I'll take photos for you. Don't get your hopes up because Archives usually sends all the information requested so perhaps that page is all there is.

That would be great. As you say, this page is probably all there is.

Goddag Magne,

The complete file was four pages, but the additions don't really add anything. Archives NZ sent you the most appropriate page.

Could you PM me again, please? I've deleted your email address.
