Help with name and code which I cannot understand - George Seymour 3Y8K-JX8
Christine Mercia Savory (Seymour) 08 December 1944
I am very new and inexperienced with genealogy but am becoming engrossed !
We have been searching for George William Seymour presumably born in UK and we think arrived in New Zealand in 1853 on Cresswell.
He married Elizabeth McGee on 14 October 1856 and died on 11 October 1860 in Nelson area of New Zealand. Dates on marriage and death certificates vary and he could have been born between 1830 and 1833.
My grandfather Charles Alexander Seymour was born on 03 September 1857.
I have very recently found a print out and I have no idea from where it came but must have been other family members searching over the years.
It shows a George Seymour born 1832 to parents David Seymour and Mary Clapson and shows the code 3Y8K-JX8 and refers to Partner
trees:MyTrees.com as well as family search.org.
As I said I am new to this and although I have searched your site I cannot find any information and would very much appreciate some help please.

Hello @ChristineSavory
That ID number for George Seymour is not found in Family Tree, so we looked for it in Genealogies and found the following:

Here is what appears to be the same George Seymour in Family Tree: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GZXG-DY8
I'm hoping this information will help you in your research!

Thank you very much for your assistance but sadly it is not he George Seymour I am looking for as this gentleman died in England. The George William Seymour I am looking for arrived into NZ on a ship, the Cresswell in 1853 and died in NZ but his marriage and death certificate have no details of where he was born or a date. We presume he was born in England about 1830.

I am just another 'lowly User/Patron ...
And, not that I can be of much help.
But ...

Just in case you had not seen this, there are some 'Trees' in "Ancestry_com" that list his Parents; as,
Father: Richard Henry SEYMOUR
Mother: Elizabeth
But, NO other details.
And, like you, no EXACT 'Place' of "Birth" for 'George', just a 'guesstimation ' (ABT. 1831/1834, England).
Oh, and, Spouse / Wife, "Elizabeth McGEE", Married, 14 October 1856, St Marys Church, Nelson, New Zealand
I just though, that is you may not have; or, not 'seen', such - it may just give you another avenue to explore.

Hi @ChristineSavory I did a search in Family Tree from the "find" screen using just the full name George William Seymour and spouse, Elizabeth McGee, and this is the first record I found in Family Tree which looks to me like it might be your ancestor. Please go to Family Tree and search with the PID of GWJT-CCZ to open and review this record. There are two sources and two memories documents that are already connected to this record in Family Tree. You can click on the name of the person who has contributed information for this record if you also believe this is your ancestor. This will allow you to send them a private message to collaborate and perhaps learn more about your ancestor. Please note that one of the children listed for this record is Charles Alexander Seymour who you have identified as your direct ancestor.
Clicking the name on the Summary card above will open the details. I hope this is your ancestor since you can learn more about your extended family through the efforts of other contributors. Best wishes in your continued research!
