Lookup Request: Intention to Marry: Campbell-Hudspith 31 Dec 1925 Whangarei

[ValJJJ]

I wonder if someone could please look up (or tell me where to look up online) the intention to marry for John Campbell and Margaret Jane Marinda Hudspith? 

Would these intentions be published in a newspaper, a bit like banns in the UK?

Thanks.

These are held at Wellington Archives and looked at in person.  Our wonderful Moderator when he has time between work and home life, kindly does this.

As you have posted on the Resources Board, I have asked for this to be moved to the Main Board by the Moderators.  Spades will respond when he sees this.

Oh sorry to put this in the wrong place.

Also I didn't expect anyone to look stuff up in person, I thought there'd be an online source somewhere.  As I'm in the UK, it means I can't take a look myself though!  There may be someone I can ask who lives in Wellington - I'll find out.

Thanks.

Hi Val,

I posted above that our Moderator kindly does this, as where he lives.

ADDED:  This is what we do on Rootschat, look ups for people, who live overseas.

Extremely kind!  Thank you. Much appreciated.

Hello Val.

I know not part of your stated request. But if interested, the Hudspith surname is associated with the very early days of pioneering in the upper Kaiprara Harbour area of Northland. And on to more recent times. A devout Wesleyan he started lay preaching before there was a Minister assigned to the area, and was a key promoter behind the building of the first local church.

While I did not find a Campbell - Hudspith engagement on Paperspast when I went looking just now I did find some 800 Auckland & Northland papers hits for the surname. The excellent Matakohe Kauri Museum, which I visited some weeks ago and due to return to soon, gives a great insight to what pioneering in this difficult area was like.

Thanks, I too found a lot on Paperspast - a great resource.  Plus info from descendants of the marriage that I'd like to see the 'intention' details of.

Our lovely Spades has a guide to ITM's in the resources

An ITM is more like a  licence to marry rather than the religious Banns

Hi Val,

Looks like you will have to be patient with getting this look up.  Have noticed this on their website.
