James George Bristow

Hi

I do not have any certificates. This is from family and other info I have found on the internet.

It is possible that he is just James Bristow. I've not been able to find anything and the dates could definitely be different.

They were definitely married in Dunedin NZ but I couldn't find James arriving in NZ or any of his relatives. It may be he wasn't born in Brighton??

I also only have 4 children for James and Matilda though Matilda's family all from Jersey were a large family and many of the jersey ones seems to be.

Well then, your first step is to order printouts of James death certificate which you can do online and the marriage certificate, which I think you will have to phone them about  because for some reason it is not showing up in the official index.  Have your credit card ready.

Order the PRINTOUT not a certificate, it is cheaper and has slightly more information and will come by email as a PDF.

It is possible someone in your family actually has these certificates already.  Have you asked?
