Title: Brother & Sister: Emma Annie Bamber and James Hughes Bamber, Auckland
Post by: rutht22000 on Saturday 06 July 19 19:08 BST (UK)

I seem to have made some progress on Henry Hughes Bamber and his various wives/partners and offspring

From his second 'marriage' to Ellen Pearce (who seems to be Ellen Anderson or Henderson at birth); it seems the family scattered all over the place.

Henry and Ellen had several children  - two who of whom ended up in New Zealand - Emma Annie who I knew about before and James Hughes who I found on the GRO site (he is totally AWOL on census' with his parents and siblings).  He was born in 1874.

Emma Annie married William Richard George Morgan on 17 November 1896 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and they both then appear in NZ where they both die (WRG in 1936 Auckland) and Emma in 1946 again Auckland.

I cannot find William and Emma between 1896 until his death in 1936 so have no idea if they have kids, or when they went to NZ so that is my first question... ;D

James Hughes married Rose Elizabeth Wareham in Brentford, Middlesex in 1894.  They seem to have split up after they had 4 children - Stanley James (1895), Frederick George (1896), Ivy (1898) and William George (1910)

Rose and the children are separated in 1901 but back together in 1911, but JH is missing until he was found in various workhouses in London from 1913 onwards and then a Salvation Army Hostel in Blackpool in 1929 when he emigrates on his own to NZ.

James marries Anna Louisa Tyler Dean at some point (can't find marriage) and dies in 1949 also in Auckland. 

So far as as James is concerned, if anyone can help find the marriage to Anna as I am not sure if Rose is still alive at the time he remarried in NZ. 

Thank you  :)

Hello ruth22000

At above link you'll find the Will of Emma Annie MORGAN (died 1941 ... 1946) in which her brother (an intended beneficiary), is named as "James Henry BAMBER"  ???

Edit to correct error > should have read 1946 :

James marries Anna Louisa Tyler Dean at some point (can't find marriage) and dies in 1949 also in Auckland. 

So far as as James is concerned, if anyone can help find the marriage to Anna as I am not sure if Rose is still alive at the time he remarried in NZ.

It appears that William's full name was William Cumberland Green and that of his wife, Ivy Elinor Rose Green.

By 1929 there were three children of this union.
