Methodist Church of New Zealand Archives Auckland District Baptism Registers

Transcription

1 Holdings at October 2013 For more information, please contact: The Archivist PO 931 Christchurch New Zealand 8140 Phone Website: The in Christchurch is the approved repository for Methodist baptism registers once completed by parishes. They are part of parish and church records held in the Methodist Archives. Registers can date from the first Wesleyan missionaries time in New Zealand during the 1830s, through to the present day. They include all branches of Methodism in New Zealand: Primitive Methodist, Wesleyan, United Free Methodist, and Bible Christian. Some registers, particularly those still in use, are held by parishes. Details of how to contact parishes are on the Methodist website In the case of union or combined parishes, registers containing Methodist baptisms may be held by other repositories such as the Presbyterian Archives and Anglican Archives. The format of baptism registers varied over the years. Early registers often only contained the name of the person being baptised, the date of baptism, the district they lived in and the name of the minister performing the baptism. Later on, when standard baptism registers were printed and distributed by the Methodist, more information was added, such as birth date, names of parents, their address and the parish or circuit in which the baptism was taking place. This information varies from register to register the most basic register is a notebook ruled with lines and often these registers carried on being used until they were full. 1

2 In most cases, there is no name index to baptism registers, and to find information, requires reading carefully through registers. While access to registers held at the Methodist Archives in Christchurch is free, a research fee is charged if researchers are unable to visit in person and Archives staff are requested to search through registers on their behalf. Fees and charges are outlined on our website, along with our opening hours and contact details. See Please note that most of these registers are fragile and require careful supervised handling. To ensure their long term preservation, we do not photocopy from baptism registers. A verified transcript of an entry can be provided for a fee. This list is arranged in alphabetical order by name of parish or church. A catalogue uniquely identifies each register and should be used if referring to individual registers. Registers are not held by our branch of the Methodist Archives in Auckland because the designated national repository for all registers is the Methodist of New Zealand Archives in Christchurch. Maori baptism records Most registers dating from prior to 1860s-1870s, can include Maori baptism entries. However once the Methodist Maori Mission was well established, (which is part of the Methodist in New Zealand), it had its own chapels, preaching places and churches, and most had their own baptism registers. Registers from the Methodist Maori Mission are held by Te Taha Maori. Contact Te Taha Maori, 409 Great South Road, Auckland. Phone Registers are described in the Auckland District baptism registers descriptive list under Te Taha Maori. 2
