Masterton Strays
As the family trees grow, the number of unallocated Mastertons diminishes. Finding homes for these strays in one of the established trees is always a very satisfying breakthrough. The following lists contain some of the Masterton strays who appear in indices of the records, but are not yet allocated (and paying for all of the certificates would be rather expensive!). Any information on where these individuals might belong would be warmly received.
New Zealand Marriages
1854-1938
There is good evidence that the Catherine Masterton recorded below who married Edwin Cuff in 1875 is Catherine "Masterson", born in 1852 (see New Zealand Births "strays"). Their son, William Masterson Cuff was killed in WW1, for example.
Similarly, the Margaret Masterton recorded below who married George Bridger Flint in 1870 is probably Margaret "Masterson", born in 1854 (see New Zealand Births "strays").
