World War One Service Personnel
Intention to Marry Applications 1914-1918
Each year New Zealanders commemorate Anzac day and celebrate
Valentine’s Day.
The first Anzac day in New Zealand was held on the 25 April 1916 to
commemorate the first anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.
Valentine’s Day is celebrated on 14 February each year. An early
martyrdom story included a written account of Saint Valentine of Rome’s
imprisonment for performing weddings for soldier who were forbidden to
marry.
In New Zealand when couples wanted to marry they had to complete an
Intention to Marry application. During the 1914-1918 period many
Wellington district Intention to marry applications recorded an Upper Hutt
district address.
Some service personnel who married before they departed for overseas
duty recorded Trentham as their place of residence and their length of
residence was often recorded as only a few weeks or months.
Listed on the Intention to marry applications the brides were recorded as
spinsters or widows. I located three hundred and ten (310) service
personnel (solders) who listed their residence in the Upper Hutt district.
Eleven (11) personnel recorded their intention to marry in Upper Hutt,
one hundred (100) at the Registrar’s Office in Wellington and the
remainder in various other places in New Zealand. Four (4) made
application to marry but never married.
I have listed the details of only some of the service personnel who
completed the Intention to marry application.
Where a cross † is placed next to the name of the service personnel this
indicates that they died while serving.
