Id on family line difficult
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | James McDonald married Minnie and had Kath, Jim, Connie, Irene, Phyllis, Ruby and Nora. James was born 1884 in Coromandel supposedly died in 1964. I'm having trouble finding anything on him and his family but I don't have the fiche, only the index online and so without his wife's real name, it's like flying blind. Could someone please look it up on fiche for me. jhan - 2019-12-18 12:17:00 |
| 2 | To add, I've tried: ancestry.com, index 5, burial locator, marriage cd, nz bdm online, archway, Auckland cemetery search. I think the fiche will give the clues. jhan - 2019-12-18 12:24:00 |
| 3 | How do you know he married Minnie? carbs51 - 2019-12-18 12:59:00 |
| 4 | The electoral rolls should help too carbs51 - 2019-12-18 13:00:00 |
| 5 | I have a diagram here and a wonderful annotated photograph of the whole family. The photograph was taken in Auckland and the costumes look to be late 40's or early 50's. James McDonald in the electoral rolls, yes, there are two many of them. jhan - 2019-12-18 13:21:00 |

| 15 | Thanks Carbs, I found James died 1964 also cremated at Purewa. Not much information there. Mary Helena Mullins, birth around 1886, where not known. They married in 1903. Paperspast is not working well for me at the moment so I couldn't see if it hit the news. jhan - 2019-12-18 14:55:00 |
