Gameson Family in New Zealand

New Member
Hello and welcome from the other side of the world. Firstly, may I say that it is exciting to have finally found you all:)

My husband's family include:

Alfred Isaac GAMESON bn Solihull, 1895-96
John (Jack) George GAMESON bn Yardley Wood, Birmingham 1898-99
Howard Kingston (Tim) GAMESON bn Solihull, 1904

Their parents were Alfred GAMESON and Elizabeth NEVIL

Family quite difficult to track, especially from so far away. Any help,
advice would be much appreciated:):). I realise the info provided is very basic, but not sure if I am in the right place!
