New Zealand Military Pensions 1900-1902

This collection of transcripts is of individuals eligible for military pensions in 1900 and 1902. The details were extracted from The Statutes of New Zealand, passed in the 64th year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, covering the first session of the 14th Parliament of New Zealand on 21 June 1900 and the third session on 1 July 1902. The records were transcribed by Wendy Leahy.

• First name(s)

• Last name

• Pension year

• Service number

• Rank

• Unit or regiment

• Next of kin name, relationship, and address

This index will not only allow you to learn if your ancestor qualified for a pension but also the name and address of your ancestor’s next of kin, often including the relationship between the next of kin and your ancestor. This may prove to be vital in your family research as it could aid you in discovering another generation of your family by providing you with your ancestor’s father’s name, for example.

• Not all first names were recorded in full. If you are having trouble finding your ancestor, trying searching on only the first initial of your ancestor’s first name.

• You can search by service number and rank. If you know what unit or regiment your ancestor served in, you can search by it using the optional keywords field.
