Intention to Marry Lookup PLEASE
« on: Wednesday 17 January 24 23:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I have a confusing marriage & was hoping that something in the Intention to Marry may help.

Mary KENNEDY md.Feb1906-Auckland to Rupert Sydney FOOTE
They divorced May1914-AKD
No obvious children, remarriage or death found :(
Rupert remarried in 1916

RSF & MK 1906 Folio 0023 Registration#1906/66

Cheers, D :)

Hi deelin

What exactly are you hoping to find ?     What is "confusing"  ? 
We may be able to help in some other way.   ;)

Link to Intention to Marry info > >   (Apologies if you have already seen this   :)  ... but it does give details of what you can expect to find in an ITM notice. )

I'm guessing that you have already viewed the  newspaper article re: the divorce ??

Added :   Has your search more to do with Mary KENNEDY (FOOTE) ?    There is a death notice available for Rupert S. FOOTE  ... which mentions children (although these may be children of 2nd marriage or children of his 2nd wife) ?   https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NA19480830.2.3

Added :    Actual date of marriage was   13 February 1906

[ITM's only indexed up until 1881 ... therefore actual marriage date and place of marriage is required for a look-up.   ;)  ]

The children mentioned in the death notice are from Rupert's second marriage.

The marriage in 1906 was at Registrar's Office in Auckland, according to article about divorce.

The information I was given is that Mary was b C1884 in Auckland
Without a middle name I found only the one
RGO/B: 1884/14883   Kennedy   Mary        Jeanie   William [b.10Sep1884]
RGO/D: 1974/31780   McPhail   Mary Cecelia   10 September 1884
Marriage=Charles McPHAIL md.1910 Mary Cecelia MEEHAN
I'm thinking that Mary MEEHAN is not mine because of the marriage year, but the same birthdate has muddled me.

=Thanks for that. I was hoping Mary's age & birthplace, may help.

Still learning to drive Rootschat, so hoping this doesn't come through muddled.  :)

Do you not have the marriage certificate, as this should have her age, birthplace and parents names.

Mary stayed with a sister in Auckland for a couple of weeks after hubby went off. But I don't have any names. :) D
