Seeking info on George ROBERTSON

| 1 | Hello According to his marriage certificate George was born in Birmingham, UK. His parents are named as George and Elizabeth Robertson. Elizabeth’s maiden name is Rose. I can not find any records re Elizabeth or George getting married, coming to NZ or their deaths... George was married to Helen Dixon in 1901. At the time of his marriage he was living in Hautapu near Cambridge. He ended up living in Maramarua as a farmer and raising his many kids there. He died in 1946 and is buried in Maramarua. At his death he was 71 so that puts his birth around 1975. His death certificate says he was in NZ for 69 years (unsure how accurate this would be). I have read his probate record and there is no mention of siblings. I would appreciate any help or insights as to where else I could look for info. I have tried papers past/ancestry/family search.

| 2 | Ps. Elizabeth Logan Robertson born 1879 in the NZ DBM records has been proven not to be a relative. tstar22 - 2019-04-28 19:31:00 |
| 3 | His 1946 probate is not useful. Although just after the war, the file does not mention his birthplace. stock - 2019-04-28 21:44:00 |
| 4 | If he came to New Zealand around 1877 he was only around 2 years old. Usually this would be with parents, but sometimes with another relative. stock - 2019-04-28 21:46:00 |
