Is anyone going to the Wellington Archives at all?

[Janette]

FindMyPast has a shipping entry that would fit with Minniehaha's #16 post above

Herbert T. Lawrence Alder aged 30y,birth year 1874,born England left Liverpool for New York 1904 aboard the Arabic.

Edited

Another entry has H T Alder born 1875 leaving Liverpool in 1894 for Ellis Island New York on board the Majestic (1890)


Cheers Janette

There are entries here which may also show Randal arriving in the US. I have not yet signed up for free access but if you do, the ships' manifests can be viewed.........

It's the Lunacy File at Wellington Archives that Christine needs - all the other info has been found and recorded.

Cheers to Spades for offering to have a look - we are all on tenterhooks waiting.....

Hi again.

In simple terms, if records are held in an Archives branch, they should show in an ARCHWAY search. As long as there were no cataloging errors.

Not necessarily Alan, as Auckland Archives hold a lot of admission books for the Avondale asylum and the individual entries are not indexed on Archway.these books are a great source of information.

Cheers Janette

Thanks for that Janette.  Any tips for how to approach the admission books for a look see? All I previously spotted was 1850's - 1880's and the restricted access, 1970's to 1990's. What do we search for ? [Auckland; Avondale; Carrington; Kingseat.] The only other public viewing book I can find is Auckland Hospital admissions 1917 -1918 R24556081 and I'm assuming the contents are catalogued.

With respect Janette that does not answer my question for future reference re Auckland Archives held material.


I'm assuming any record book or file held, is catalogued, even if the individual contents therein is yet to be itemised. Otherwise how do you go about arranging a public viewing?

Alan,

My comment was for everyone who has been helping Christine with her search.As your question is rather involved I chose not to answer here and hijack Christine's thread.

p.s. We need to find him in a mental hospital Register. I assume they will be held at Archives NZ in Auckland.
