I am interested in contacting anyone connected to Eliza Eckhardt , born Sydney Australia in 1831, married John Stallard in 1847 Gundaroo,Yass, NSW, then Joseph Myers 04 Jul 1857 Melbourne and finally Peter Cato 1869 New Zealand.
Children;
Matravers Paul Stallard, b. abt 1848 Australia
Maria Stallard, b. 1850 Adelaide m. Ross 03 Mar 1866 Hokitika, Westland, West Coast New Zealand
Helen Stallard b. 1853 Sydnet m. John Dick 29 May 1870 St John's Church, Westport, New Zealand
Susannah Myers b. 11 Jul 1858 North Melbourne m. Robert Whitten 187 New Zealand
Sarah Jane Myers b. 22 Jun 1860 Inglewood, Victoria, Australia m. John Anslie Montgomerie 1879 New Zealand
Joseph James Myers b.Abt Joseph James Myers d.16 Mar 1876 Reefton, Buller, West Coast, New Zealand
Other names connected to this family are Dick, Frost, Ross, Rathie
Mainly in the Westport, Reefton area of New Zealand
My connection is to Joseph Myers, I suspect Eliza & Joseph never did actually marry, as both remarried after their supposed marriage - or the both committed bigamy!

She possibly wasn't born in Sydney.

Hello Yorkslady
... and welcome. :)
I see that you've already looked at the Ancestry website but if you return, you can find a "tree" (and fellow researcher) for the family of Susannah MYERS.
Firstly though, a couple of corrections to note:
NZ Marriage
Susanah [sic] MYERS - Robert WHITTEM -- 1876
[Surname is "WHITTEM" ... rather than Whitten. ]
... and "tree" gives bride's maiden name as "MYLES" (rather than "Myers").
[To search > enter "Robert WHITTEM" / place of death: "New Zealand" ]

Thank you so much, all very helpful, especially the Whittem spelling. A bit confused though - is Whittem the correct one?
-
Hi,
I think Whittem is the correct spelling as Lu has found,here is a newspaper notice about his will

Hi Yorkslady
Based on the details you supplied regarding Susannah MYERS, I'm confident that the information I've given here, relates to the same person.
[Susanah [sic] MYERS m. Robert WHITTEM -- Susanah/Susannah WHITTEM a.k.a. Susan WHITTEM :
Death - 1937 -- Susan WHITTEM 79 yrs - born circa 1858, which matches the birth year you gave for Susannah MYERS.]
Perhaps if you could explain why you have doubts about WHITTEM being the "correct one" -- we may be able to provide further help. :)

I suspect that it is not that you can't use the PM system but that your computer security is not allowing you to open a website from a link on an email.

Hello there
I am a descendant from this line. Maria Stallard, Eliza and John Stallard's daughter is my Great Great Grandmother.
I have done (always ongoing) research into this family and may be able to fill in some gaps for you.
