Hi Wayne, and welcome to the Boards.

Unfortunatley, this thread dates back to 2006 and Philipa may no longer be checking it.

You could send her a personal message (PM) by clicking on her name. if she is still active and uses the same email address as back in 2006. GR will notify her that you have left a message.

Fingers crossed :-)

If you are wanting to trace forward you would need to find out about records in New Zealand. Not sure if any are online. You could google New Zealand + genealogy or look on cyndi's list. nell

Any ideas how I can trace the Sparrow Family who emigrated in 1905/6? Len Sparrow and his wife Florence Amelia Cannon emigrated from London in 1905/6 They lived in Christchurch, Manawatu and Nelson They had 3 children: Iris - born 1906 in Christchurch. She remained single, lived in Avon Terrace, Nelson. Died approx 1980's. Article about her published in Nelson Evening Mail June 16th (Year?) Know as Iris Hughes-Sparrow then. Mavis - born 1908, married C Murphy Jim - born 1911, ? joined the navy Any ideas? Pippa
