Joel Asher was Jewish according to his marriage notice. In 1870 he served on the jury of an inquest into the death of Mr Lazarus in Auckland.
Research Notes
No marriage for an Asher male to any Harriet or a Keesing (or variations) on NZBDM. May be because married according to Jewish rites, and not civil marriage
No marriage for an Keesing female to any Joel, Henry or an Asher (or variations) on NZBDM. I have uploaded the marriage notice to show it did happen but it does not say where they were married
No death for Joel Asher on NZBDM
