NEW ZEALAND AND WORLD WAR ONE
MISCELLANEOUS OVERSEAS MARRIAGES WITH A NEW ZEALAND CONNECTION 1914 - 1920

PLEASE NOTE: This list is in groom order and are snippets noted in newspapers, usually while researching for other things, or from military files. At the bottom of this is a table of miscellaneous marriages in bride order. I always appreciate anymore to add to these lists.

PRESS, VOLUME LIV, ISSUE 16224, 29 MAY 1918 - Our London correspondent writes that the "Torquay Times" devotes a column or two to the question of the welfare of English girls who are going out to New Zealand as the wives of returning soldiers. Nearly a hundred girls have left the borough under these circumstances in the previous weekend, and the "Times" was doubtful whether they all understood what they were going to. Their anxiety must have been a good deal relieved by an interview with a New Zealand gentleman who lives in Torquay. He painted quite a reassuring picture as far as the great majority of the girls are concerned, provided they go with their minds made up to help their husbands to the greatest extent for a few years with the object of becoming independent. Unfortunately the New Zealand gentleman is made to refer to Maori villages as "warries," and in other ways to show an ignorance of matters, which may or may not be due to the interviewer. He is, however, confident that English girls arriving in New Zealand as the wives of our soldiers will get a very hearty welcome in the Dominion. Nevertheless he advises girls who think of marrying New Zealand soldiers to let them return to the Dominion alone and prepare a home for them, and when it is ready send them the money to go out. "If the men are sincere in their love, they will have no hesitation in doing this. If the women are sincere they will be content to wait a little time. I say this because I have my doubts as to how the future is going to 'pan out' for some of those who have already gone to New Zealand."

MARRIAGE PERMITS FOR N.Z.SOLDIERS AT HOME
NUMBER OP APPLICATIONS INCREASING. BIGAMOUS MARRIAGES COMPLAINED OF.
A somewhat serious increase has taken place in the applications by New Zealand officers and soldiers for permits to marry in the United Kingdom; and complaints have been made in the British Parliament that bigamous marriages have been contracted by soldiers from overseas. The increase in the number of applications is attributed partly to the separation allowances now granted to the wives of New Zealand soldiers. The following circular regulating marriages in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force has been issued by Brigadier-General Richardson (commanding N.Z.E.F., England).
MARRIAGES.
1. All officers and other ranks of the N.Z.E.P. who are desirous of marrying in the United Kingdom must obtain permission from Headquarters, N.Z.E.F., London. Each application, in the first place, must be submitted to the applicant's commanding officer.
2. The soldier will forward with his application a certificate of character of the person he wishes to marry, from a clergyman, magistrate, or leading local resident.
3. The O.C. unit will interview each applicant before forwarding the application, and will satisfy himself that, so far as he can ascertain — (a) The soldier is legally free to contract a marriage; (b) the certificate of character is genuine; (c) the soldier realises the difficulties likely to arise in obtaining a passage for his wife to New Zealand, and that the New Zealand Government cannot be held liable for her passage to the Dominion; (d) the soldier is not contracting a hasty and undesirable marriage.
4.The O.C. having satisfied himself that the application is one that should be considered for approval, will forward it to Headquarters, N.Z.E.F., London.
5. On receipt of the application at Headquarters, the Staff Paymaster will ascertain from the allottee if the soldier's allotment can be varied in favour of his future wife. If this variation is not agreed to, the O.C will be notified that the application for marriage has not been approved. If the allotment is varied as requested, the soldier's O.C. will be notified that the application is approved, and a copy of this approval will be forwarded to the Officer in Charge Records, London.
6. When the soldier has been notified by his O.C. that he has permission to marry, he should apply direct to the Officer in Charge Records, N.Z.E.F., No. 8, Southampton Row, London, W.C.1,. for a record certificate of his marital condition. He will present this certificate to the clergyman or registrar to whom he applies to solemnise the marriage.
7. The Officer in Charge Records will also supply any information available from office records regarding the marital condition of a soldier to any clergyman or registrar applying for the same.
8. Instructions have been issued to all clergymen and registrars that marriages of New Zealand soldiers are not to be solemnised until they have assured themselves by reference to the Officer in Charge Records, that the soldier ia legally free to contract a marriage.
9. A certified copy of the marriage certificate will be forwarded by the soldier concerned to the High Commissioner for New Zealand, 415, Strand, London, W.C.2; also a certified copy of the birth certificate in respect of each child of the marriage.
10. Separation allowance — A soldier who has married with permission as above may apply for separation allowance to the High Commissioner for New Zealand, 415, Strand, London, W.C.2.
