Marriage

"..William Merrigold who came to New Zealand in the early 1870's and married in 1875."

MERIGOLD / MERRIGOLD / MARIGOLD....  And he married in New Zealand?

Using New Zealand BDM index I am not seeing this marriage. Can you identify it please.

Can you please list all the information on the document.

Hi Gail

It looks as though the birth and baptism tie in well - with the couple baptising their child after they married.   I looked at Handford Road in the 1851 census but can't see any Hubbards living there at the time

This shows up on Ancestry as

Name:   Matthew William Marygold
Marriage Year:   1875
Marriage Place:   New Zealand
Folio Number:   157

But I can’t find on NZBDM

Here it is

1875/101   Amelia Corlina Alexander   Fransen   Matthew William   Merrygold

Yes, I agree.  Thanks Kay.

Also, yes that is the same Matthew William Merrygold who married Amelia Fransen in New Zealand.

Ancestry, Victoria, Australia Police Gazette   6 Jul 1881
Extracts from New Zealand Police Gazettes
...whereabouts of William Marshall MERRIGOLD, English, labourer and a sculleryman, 30 years of age, 5 foot 9 inches....seen in Wellington in January last. Inquiry is made for him  so that proceedings can be taken to compel him to support his wife and three children.

Is he Mathew William, or William Marshall?.

From BDM NZ he is Mathew William as father on birth records for three children.

Who is the informant on the three birth records?   Age and birthplace of parents should be on the record.

I’m assuming “Emily” here must be Amelia? Running a house of ill repute?
