Looking for Beeston New Zealand and Prior Too Imigration to Nz
Hi, I am researching my BEESTON family tree in New Zealand. My earliest names are John William Beeston who married a Mary Hunt.
I have no details on the marriage. The earliest I can go back is to about 1875 in New Zealand.I have found info on Beeston's in the Thames district and also the Auckland area. My branch of the family moved North to the Whangarei area. Please contact me if you think you have any connection.
Hello beeston01,
I was just browsing and came across your request. The following could be useful. You will notice that the folio number and the year are the same in both sets.

On the NZ BDM Online file it reads.

This might assist but obviously will need more research to achieve accuracy.

Thank you Vernon7, I have very little info on these two people. They are the earliest ancestors I have been able to find on the Beeston side of my family.
