Hi

Fantastic news, I have heard back from grandson with contact details which I have pm'd you.

bye Helen

Well done Helen!

Yep - not always a good idea to look for old boyfriends haha :)

Hello MB,

No worries, hope you get a reply, will keep you updated should I hear anything.

Actually it was a bit of a trip down memory lane for me when I was on that website. Put in my old primary school and was scrollling down the names and VOILA found my first boyfriend. Yep we were just kids, aah but was so disallusioned to read he is now a grandfather of 4 :-)

Where did the years go ha ha

bye Helen

Helen
Many many thanks

I've also seen your PM - I too have sent an email but via a different organisation so perhaps he'll reply as its definately the correct family.

I'll looking to the suggestions you've made

They would then boarded a train for Auckland.

Mary & Helen

Thanks so very much for taking the time to look. My cousin - who I'm researching our parents line with has just told me he thinks the name is HARVISON.
I could scream - 1. for him getting it wrong & 2. for me taking him at his word - I should have checked.

I have now seen and checked the marriage cert and it is HARVISON - the first names are correct.
Thanks once again

Nothing yet - I have someone else looking too, so I'll post if we find anything!

I'll have a hunt for the births - back soon.

You can search for:

* Births that occurred at least 100 years ago
* Stillbirths if registered at least 50 years ago.
* Marriages and eventually Civil Unions that occurred 80 years ago
* Deaths that occurred at least 50 years ago or the deceased's date of birth was at least 80 years ago.

Mary

Thanks so much
Yes, the definately went to NZ, Auckland(?)
But they lived in Dublin and I don't know if passenger records from Dublin or Cork are available to search.

The 100year rule does that apply to Births, death and marriages

Thanks
