William Charles SIBREE

[Sibbie]

I am related to the above. He was born on the West Coast (Granity) 18/04/1896 and died at Trentham Military Camp 4/02/1921 from TB. His parents were Charles Allen Sibree who married Elizabeth Davidson at Granity 25/04/1895. I am interested in the parentage and line of both Charles and Elizabeth. Charles appears to have come from Australia, and Elizabeth from Northumberland about 1883. Can anyone help please?

His parents were Charles Allen Sibree who married Elizabeth Davidson at Granity 25/04/1895.

Your first step is to look at the marriage certificate and collect all the information that it contains about the background of each person.

Hi Sibbie, and welcome 

Their 1895 marriage certificate should provide the names and occupation of both their parents. You can purchase this from NZ BDM but ensure you request a print-out, their name for a copy of the original document.
It can be emailed to you.

Have you looked on Papers Past for any record of the SIBREE family?

Regards,

Hi Sibbie,

Do you know if the SIBREE’s had a connection to Protestant missionary work?
