Thomas James BILBE, in New Zealand 1952-1956

[gracol]

I have found from online records that he emigrated from England and arrived in Wellington in 1952.In 1956 he returned to England leaving from Auckland.
On his outward voyage from Glasgow in 1952 there was a passenger "Mary Louise Fiveash".They must have married in New Zealand and I believe in 1954 Mary returned to England with a 1 year old son.
I would be very interested in details of their marriage,and the birth record,or any other details of their time in New Zealand.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Mary was b 1928 - see freebmd

Thomas returned 1956 - alone.  He died 2003
Mary Louisa Bilbe b 1928 died 2010

Can't see an incoming entry for Mary but both Thomas & Mary are on the 1965 ER at Orchard Rd Walthamstow

Hello,

Thomas James Bilbe married Mary Louisa Fiveash in 1952. That is all the information I can provide.

At some stage I can look for the birth of the child when I visit the library.

Many thanks for your replies.
I suppose there are many ships passenger lists still to be transcribed that do not appear on line.
Should be very grateful Minniehaha if you could look up the birth.

Hello.

Both surnames are rare in NZ. 

FIVEASH, mainly in the South Island.

BILBE, Auckland, Waikato & Bay of Plenty [BOP] districts.

Thank you for your offer Minniehaha,and also Fresh Fields reply.
I assume the ships passenger lists viewable on line are all of the voyage records of each individual shipping company.The lists that cannot be found being shipping companies that still await recording.Don't know if that is the case?
