Thanks Bronwen
That's great info.
There's also a son named William.
John and William were mentioned as sons on a death notice I found in paperspast for the dad William in 1921.
I have John McClimont's death certificate and marriage certificate to Jane Nelson Harris from BDM and her birth certificate.
I always though that John was born in Ireland but it must have been his Dad. Until I got John's other certificates, I didnt know he was born in NZ. Both have Rangitata.
I just cant get a birth certificate. The BDM dont have him listed.I've gone back and forth with EMails to them and promised them the $15 to look but they assured me they dont have him. And the McClymonts are not him.
He must have been born so far from town that he was never registered. No wonder he would get on his horse and ride into Ashburton fron Mt Somers every time Jane had one of her 15 babies out on the farm. Except fo the last 2 born in Ashburton hospital. He wanted to make sure his own children were registered and had papers.
Tell me, where does his birth date come from? A Bible or what?
