Dimmock / Dufty

[Justanothersmith]

G'day

I'm trying to establish if the Thomas Dimmock who married Lucy Dufty, at the Wesleyan Church in Huntly on 20th March 1901, is part of my extended tree. Without purchasing the marriage certificate is there any way I can find out his father's name.

Hi Doug

Can't actually see the marriage on the NZ index ?
Can you tell us please where you got the details from ?

There are the beginnings of a family tree at ancestry.com -but  doesn't include birth or parental information for Thomas DIMMOCK as yet.

Electoral rolls :

1905-06
Thomas DIMMOCK - occupation, miner -- with Louisa DIMMOCK, married, residing at Huntly.

Earlier on the 1896 Waikato Roll >

DIMMOCK - Thomas - miner - residing at Kimihia
DIMMOCK - William ... same occupation and address

Is knowing Thomas's occupation, of help ?

Bearing in mind that you're searching for Thomas's antecedants, perhaps his death notice or an obituary might help.

Can anyone suggest a newspaper covering the region where he lived?
