‡ MARY JANE ELIZABETH O'BUGLIEN would appear to have been born posthumously as her father died very early in 1898. She was listed as a patient in the Thames Hospital in 1909 so the family were probably still living in Thames then.

Private EDWARD RAYMOND O'BUGLIEN, No. 14313 1st Battalion Auckland Regiment, killed in action Thursday 7th June 1917, aged 23 years. Buried La Plus Douve Farm Cemetery, Belgium.

Possibly relevant marriages -
JOHANNA THERESA O'BUGLIEN 1900/2066; EDWIN JOSEPH O'BUGLIEN 1908/16.

In the birth registrations of Christina and Alina, Antonio is described as being born Austria circa 1837, and a storekeeper. According to Thames historian, Mr A. Isdale, Antonio and Mary O'Buglien returned to his homeland for a trip after their marriage. It is highly likely that the first children of this union would have been born outside New Zealand thus not showing in the RG's records of this country. Albert Lewis is the way their youngest son was written in the registers at Thames but compiler feels it would more likely have been Louis.

ARNOLD THOMAS HENRY LUKS = (1) MINNIE O'BUGLIEN, spinster, full age, second daughter of Antonio O"Buglien and Mary Dore, RG 1898/3763

It is presumed that Minnie must have died soon after her marriage but no proof has been found to substantiate this. The marriage indexes list the second marriage as being to Winnie or Minnie but compiler's fiche is not very good quality so it hard to be sure. However, the baptism of Leo Frederick (sic) at St Benedict's Church 1904 list his parents as Arnold Thomas Henry and Winifred Catherine Luks
