Departed England Gravesend July 27th 1842, arrived New Zealand 31, Jan 1843 at Port Nicholson [Wellington} on the S.S.Thomas Sparkes. Aged 17 according to ship's manifest. |
Note | Sailed with his father and stepmother, Ann, aboard the S.S. Thomas Sparks. He was aged 17 years and was married prior to sailing. His occupation was listed as labourer / gardener. It has been stated that John and Hannah only stayed a short time in New Zealand but he is listed in Jury Rolls as late as 1852. His address was River Hutt and his occupation was listed as labourer. He then disappears from the Jury Rolls for Wellington but appears in the electoral roll for Wairarapa in 1853 as a Stock Manager of Tauherenikau. He appears in the Wellington electoral roll for 1861 and listed as living in Quinn Street. That is the last trace we have found of him in New Zealand. No trace of any of his descendants have been found in New Zealand. |
Note | Tracey Evans contacted me in August 2010 and advised that there is a third Son Harry NZ BDM 1849/798. Tracey has records that show Harry married and had 10 children in Australia and thus the disappearance from NZ after 1861 may look as if this was to Australia |
