Hello Averil,

Those resources in the Christchurch Library which you gave Bob should be very useful to him. It sounds as though he has some of the certs, but the children's birth certs could have extra info. - Also the burial records, and M.I.s.
Are the certs free there?
- The library has certainly changed since I was at Canterbury Uni!

I hope the records link up with the Boydes I found in Kk German, because I couldn't find an alternative Robert Christian who fitted Bob's description of his ancestor as well as this one.
