Welcome to the boards Julie. What information are you looking for?

If you have the dates of marriage (which you appear to have ) it would help if you amend your opening post to include these, to save helpers looking for them and duplicating research already done. It will also help when looking for their children. You have to pay to purchase the record. You can use the free site below to then look for children of the marriages and possibly their marriages

https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz

eg. Frederick Marshall married Louisa Boswell 1905

Registration Number Bride's Given Name(s) Bride's Family Name
Groom's GivenName(s) Groom's Family Name
1905/2727 Louisa Boswell Frederick Marshall

which gives these probable children
Registration Number Family Name Given Name(s) Mother's GivenName(s) Father's Given Name(s) Still Birth
1911/18691 Marshall Herbert William Louisa Frederick - Order Product
1907/14992 Marshall George Frederick Louisa Frederick - Order Product
1909/17890 Marshall Louisa Olive Louisa Frederick - Order Product
1913/7556 Marshall NR Louisa Frederick S Order Product <<<< S for stillbirth

There is a privacy of 100 years for births (50 for stillbirths), 80 years for marriages and 50 years for deaths

ROBERT MARSHALL

Robert was my great grandfather and I am stuck trying to find more info on him, including his actual birth date in 1843. He was 31 when he married in January 1875, and 56 in September of 1899 when he died. I have his marriage and death certificates but they don't list a lot of details. There were a lot of obituary notices on his death found in PapersPast and one lists his birthplace as Dungannon in County Tyrone.

I have some information on his emigration on the ship "Mary Shepherd" with a note saying fellow passengers William D and Mary Ann Leslie were Robert's cousins.

I have searched Roots Ireland with no birth results that match.

Any one with suggestions I would welcome your help :)

Many thanks
Julie
