Hello Vidar,

I see you also tried this one in another forum about 10 years ago, so you are still working on this brick wall This time I do have some information that might be of interest. By searching in Archway on Martin Nelson you will find Martin Johan Nelson - Manurewa - Retired Storekeeper, 1948, under Auckland probates. Martin Johan Nelson is also listed under Land Valuation Court Files, 1944.

Manurewa (Muriwai) is located on the west coast of Auckland as show on this map.

With this info it should be possible to obtain a death certificate which might include more data.

The Cemetery Records for Hillsborough - Onetangi, Waiheke Island - Otahuhu Public - Waikaraka includes Annie Sine Nelson, died 06.03.1939. Maybe she was Martin Johan's wife.

According to New Zealand Society of Genealogists CD "New Zealand Marriages 1836-1956", was Martin John Nelson married to Ann McCarthy in 1887.

The New Zealand Electoral Roll for 1893 CD reports Martin J. Nelson, labourer, Dargaville in Bay of Islands.

Tusen takk VidarO

Det var første bekreftelse på ekteskapet, kan jeg bestille et sertifikat der nede?

[Vidar Sigurd Øverlie]

Hei VidarH

Med den informasjonen som er gitt ovenfor bør det være mulig å bestille ekteskap og døds sertifikat hos The Department of Internal Affairs.
