Partial Listing of Births 1859 -1865 in the Timaru and Geraldine Districts

The N.Z birth index is available on microfiche at public
libraries, through LDS and local genealogical libraries. The District Registrar
forwarded birth entries quarterly or annually to the RGO.
The numbers listed are page numbers also known as folio numbers and there can be up
to nine entries per page. NZSG published District Keys to the New Zealand
Registration Index, births 1848-1900, will identify the district were the
event was registered. An invaluable aid. These
District Keys
de-code the reference number on the index. Bookmark 1

2. The
District Keys are on the fiche (?the first fiche), this was the source that the
books (full set, 8 books) were taken from. The books are easier to follow
though.
Photocopies of the birth entry may contain
the name and signature of the informant from the The
Registrar-General�s Office now
situated on Floor 3, 47 Boulcott Street, Wellington (the same building as the
Passport Office).

On 25
January 2009, the NZ Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships
Registration Amendment Act came into force. One of the results of this is that
it is no longer possible to purchase NZ BDM indexes. While
the indexes are being removed from sale, individuals and organisations who
currently hold index information will be able to
continue using that information - subject, of course, to the Crown copyright and
New Zealand Privacy Act restrictions that currently apply. As of 25
January 2009 it will be an offence for any person to publish index information
unless the information relates to the person publishing it, or if the person to
whom it relates
has given permission for it to be published, or the information is
"historical information" or could not reasonably be expected to identify any
particular person, due to its form. These restrictions apply to any information
published on "member-only" websites or internal "Intranet" sites. Any breach of
these new legislative requirements is punishable, upon summary conviction, by a
fine of up to $50,000.
Historical Births, Deaths and Marriages Information - as defined by
Section 78G of the Births, Deaths, Marriages and Relationships Act 1995.
Historical Information is:
- Births that occurred at least 100 years ago
- Still-births that occurred at least 50 years ago
- Marriages and Civil Unions that occurred at least 80 years ago
- Changes of name for overseas born people - if they were born at least
100 years ago
- Deaths of people who died at least 50 years ago or who were born at
least 80 years ago.
"The child was born in one place and baptised elsewhere." It was quite common with a first child, mother goes home to her mother's home for the birth of the child, but is subsequently baptised in her own home county.
Some queer names were fastened on innocent children during the Boer War and again during the Great War.

TWENTY-ONE TO-DAY 1923 �19-11.
Geraldine, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs Fox, of Birdwood Avenue, Lower Hutt, attained her majority. The celebration took place on Saturday, 10th September and
a large gathering of friends and relatives came to assist, and under the baton
of that inimitable master of ceremonies, Mr. Clarrie Pegler, things went with a
swing right from the start. He must have had that beautiful verse of poetry in
his mind�
"And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day.
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away."
for throughout the whole evening there was no hitch in the merry festival. Among
the guests was Miss Betty Hendry, whose outstanding ability in the rendering of
character sketch items is so well known. Her renderings were excellent and very
much enjoyed by all present. But we must not forget the guest of honour, Miss
Fox. In due course her father presented her with that symbol of freedom "The
Key" and with it a framed poem bearing on the event. To enlighten the reader
Miss Geraldine was born in the town of Geraldine �so now
To Geraldine of Geraldine 1923 �1944.
Now Geraldine please listen dear,
And do not blush nor frown,
It is not you I talk of first,
'Tis Geraldine �the town.
'Twas there in Nineteen twenty-three
A fair young damsel came A
And the town bowed down before, her
Saying, Please accept my name.
So Geraldine of Geraldine
Now you have got the Key
May every happy door in life
Be opened unto thee.
And so in the early hours of the first day of October the tired but happy guests
wended their way home ward and the general trend of thought was �Twenty-one! How
would like to travel back to that age. Twenty-one! I wish I was that age. There
is a mystic glory and grandeur unknown at any other time.
