George Sinclair and Peti Matiaha

[wivenhoe]

Using NZ BDM index I am not seeing the ABEL - HUTCHINSON marriage. Where do you see it?
Where have you found the SINCLAIR - MATIAHA marriage?
Where do you see this name - Elizabeth Peti Sinclair?

Is this your family?

The only info I have been able to find regarding George and Peti are a few family trees that include them so I don’t know how accurate any of this may be. Unfortunately, I don’t know when George died however, I think I might have found some more of their children.

Elizabeth Peti Sinclair
1836-1930

Heeni Sinclair
1838-1918

Ruiha/Louisa Sinclair
1842-1912

Riripeti Sinclair
1844-unknown

also, yes Minniehaha, that is the marriage of George and Peti’s daughter. Betsy/Elizabeth was married to Issac Van Arsdale before she was married to Abel.

Any of the births from 1875 on would include good information about the origins of parents Abel and Elizabeth.

You either accept what you are seeing on family trees........ or do your own research.

You need to see the printout for a birth.

Do you have any documentation for the BDM events in the lives of the people you are researching?

[edesearch]

I don't have anything from BDM concerning George and Peti. I have been trying to gather info on their daughter Elizabeth, but I didn't have her maiden name. Once I found out it might be Matiaha, I had a look at BDM but had no luck.

Hello again.

With the arrival of keeping written records Maori started assigning two names to their children, especially if baptised. They also developed their own naming conventions, not unlike Scot's with their patronymic maming.

On that basis do you know of any family links with Waiariki or Rotiti ?

Further to reply #10, I think your best option at this point is to purchase the death registration printout for Elizabeth. Providing they were known by the person supplying the information, her parents names should be recorded.

In this list of PAKEHA(EUROPEAN)/MAORI TRANSLITERATIONS

https://www.sooty.nz/Pakehamaori.html

The transliteration for Peti is Bessy or Betty which are both pet names for Elizabeth
