Loraine Report 10 Jan 2021 04:34

Joseph was born in New Zealand around 1900 in the mining area of the South Island New Zealand.
He married my grandmother in 1935. The rest of his life is pretty well known.
We have next to no information prior to the marriage.
Can anyone help please.
Thankyou Loraine

Do NZ marriage certs include father’s name?

At what stage(s) of his life did Joseph use the different surnames?

He was Creek at marriage (if this is the right marriage). Sadly no other details are transcribed on Ancestry, and no image to view:

Joseph Creek
in the New Zealand, Marriage Index, 1840-1937
Name: Joseph Creek
Gender: Male
Marriage Year: 1935
Marriage Place: New Zealand
Relation: Bridegroom
Folio Number: 7588

The bride??

Winifred Rose Morris
in the New Zealand, Marriage Index, 1840-1937
Name: Winifred Rose Morris
Gender: Female
Marriage Year: 1935
Marriage Place: New Zealand
Relation: Bride (Wife)
Folio Number: 7588

Winifred Rose Ferguson
in the New Zealand, Marriage Index, 1840-1937
Name: Winifred Rose Ferguson
Gender: Female
Marriage Year: 1935
Marriage Place: New Zealand
Relation: Bride (Wife)
Folio Number: 7588


How do you know his name was Tikey?
Was there ever any middle name mentioned?

Winifred Rose Creek
in the New Zealand, Cemetery Records, 1800-2007
Name: Winifred Rose Creek
Death Age: 74
Birth Date: abt 1911
Death Date: 24 Apr 1985
Death Place: Wanganui
Burial Place: Wanganui, Rangitikei, Wanganui
Cemetery : Cremations

She was a widow when she died.


In 1981 with Lavinia Olive Creek and Maxwelll Joseph Creek:

Winifred Rose Creek
in the New Zealand, Electoral Rolls, 1853-1981
Name: Winifred Rose Creek
Electoral Year: 1981
District: Waitotara
Region or Province: Taranaki


Earlier ERs also show her (and Joseph) as Creek, so presumably Joseph was born Tikey (if you're correct in thinking that) and became Creek at or before marriage.

No, this can't be him.
There's a code letter F beside his name, which means this man had more than four children.
