Looking for Nathaniel Alfred Winter 1861 1942 of Ireland
Nathaniel was a teacher, journalist, newspaper editor. He emigrated from Ireland to New Zealand c. 1920/1930. After retirement, he was a sheep farmer. Don't know if he had family in NZ. Would love someone to contact me re. this, PLEASE.
This doesn't fit with your dates (the marriage I mean) but I found a New Zealand marriage in 1895 (reg.no.1895/2398) between Bride Eleanor COWPER and Groom Nathaniel Alfred WINTER. He died 1942 (reg.no.1942/23254) aged 81yrs.
Found two possible children's births:- Eileen Eva WINTER born 1897 and William Maurice WINTER born 1904 New Zealand.

Hi,
I am a grand-nephew of Nathaniel Alfred Winter (1861-1942.
His obit. stated that he was survived by his wife and a married son Maurice. He was predeceased by his daughter Eileen "who died some years ago" He was author of a number of books including `Taumarunui Old and New' (1913)The King country: --recollections of an old timer(1937)
Northern King country: Random sketches (1938). The obit has quite a lot of detail but is not dated.
I have a William Winters in my family tree. He was born in Nov 1845 in Co Limerick
I regret that I have nothing further and wondered if he survived the famine of 1844/46
He and his family came from the Kilfinane area
