Title: Jehoida Williams Born 1860 Wales Arrived New Plymouth New Zealand Circa 1865
Post by: AuntyGene on Tuesday 11 February 14 12:17 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find the following family on a passenger list, they left Wales for a new life in New Zealand in New Plymouth Taranaki about 1865.

Rachael (Rachel) Williams Born 1828 (Now she was born a Williams, her first husband was a Williams and her 2nd husband was also a Williams).Her first husband was James Williams but he died in Wales in 1859 then Rachael took the children to New Zealand her children were:

Mary Williams Born 1854
Emily Williams   Born 1856
George Williams Born 1858
Jehoida Williams Born 1860

It is believed the family comes from Monmouthshire.

Rachel married again in New Plymouth in 1866 to a George Williams.

Any info on this family would be great but what i need is what ship they arrived on.

Many thanks

Aunty Gene

(This database is complied from the passenger lists published in the Taranaki Herald. ... the period 1843 -1885 for arrivals to and departures from New Plymouth.)

For some reason it doesnt seem to be working for me but maybe you could try.

Hello AuntyGene,

Please excuse my ignorance, but is Jehoida a masculine or feminine name?

As I have not been able to find a marriage or death for this person, might the spelling of the Christian name have been varied in New Zealand perhaps?

Hi,
Perhaps AuntyGene already has the following:

WILLIAMS   Jehoiada   55Y

There are 2 other Jehoiada WILLIAMS listed, 1943 (as found by Janette) and 1962,(males).

Hi Aunty Gene,

I had a few extra minutes at Archives NZ and looked up the Coroner's Report for Jehoiada WILLIAMS.

If you send me a PM with your email address I'll send the images.

Hi,

Bit of a long shot as this post was some time ago, but Rachel Williams' son George Williams is my great great grandfather. Would like to know more about Rachel and particularly where her first husband James is buried in wales.
