alf mcm Posted 14 October , 2009 Share Posted 14 October , 2009 Thanks for the 'McMurchie' information Christine. There is a lot more than I expected. John {4} is a bit of a mystery. The Archway website is very interesting, and I have just read on another post that the records are being digitized. This is excellent news.

alf mcm Posted 15 October , 2009 Share Posted 15 October , 2009 Hello Christine, Thanks again for the additional information. John McMurchie, {Nos 2 and 4}, was born in 11 Argyle Street, Port Glasgow, Greenock, in the County of Renfrewshire, Scotland, on 14th February, 1883. His parents were Archibald McMurchie, riveter {journeyman} and Catherine Ross {or Rose}. They were married in Port Glasgow on 4th March, 1876. Archibald and his family appear in the 1881 {Scotland} census, but not that for 1891. Perhaps they emigrated to Australia first, between 1883 and 1891, and then to New Zealand. Perhaps John's service records will explain what happened at Colon. Hopefully they will be digitized soon. Regards, Alf McM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eenie15 Posted 5 May , 2010 Share Posted 5 May , 2010 Hello Christine, Iam researching a NZ ww1 soldier and I am having trouble finding some information on him. If you could find his war diaries, medal index cards, photos etc. That would be great. I already have his birthdate and death date and info on his parents. His name is Francis Alexander Dunn, and he served in the 1st battalion otago regiment. Thanks in advance, -eenie15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgarry Posted 6 May , 2010 Share Posted 6 May , 2010 Recently the St John's branch of the NZ society of Genealogists issued a CD of all the soldiers who joined the NZEF in WW1. It is called New Zealand WW1 service personnel and reserves index. It includes all the names in the Nominal rolls, the Reserve. NZers who served in the AIF, Military defaulters, Native Reserve NZers who served in the RNVR, Nzers who served in Allied forces - about 283,000 records -almost the entire male population of NZ at the time I would be willing to do lookups Thats very good of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
