Re: William & Jane Christian
In Response To: Re: William & Jane Christian ()

Hi Len and Harry,

Robert Edward Christian and Gertrude Elizabeth Gutberlet married in NZ in 1902 (Folio 2237).

The NZ Society of Genealogists' index also confirms that Robert Edward died in Springs, South Africa, in 1958.

Harry, is this William's death cert in NZ records?
Year: 1936, Registration Number: 1936/15545, Family Name: Christian, Given Name(s): William, Date of Birth or Age at Death: 82Y.
See: www.bdmhistoricalrecords.identityservices.govt.nz/Home/ under "Search".

A Jane Christian died in 1890 aged 35 [1890/4065].

As well as getting their marriage cert from England (details last message), it would be good to get photocopies of these death certs, if possibly their ones. NZ death certs are very detailed, and include both parents' names, and a lot of other information. However marriage certs are the most reliable because the information was given by the person himself/herself. With deaths, families often have only partial memories of what they have been told, and make a few guesses. But sometimes they are completely correct, and are always well worth getting.
If you post the details from William's two certs we should be able to help with his IOM family.
