Thank you so very very much.  A family member had told me what was written on the headstone but I had never seen a pic of it. Makes me all the more determined to try and visit Down. The cemetery is so picturesque.  Much appreciated - Leonie

Hi once again Johnny,

I have connections to both Clegg and Emerson.

My g/grandfather Thomas Patton m Sophia Matier and their children were

David Patton - died train accident Bangor/Dublin train line occ train driver
Eliza Patton  - married Richard Archer CLEGG
Anne Patton - married James EMERSON
William Patton - my grandfather m Mary Elizabeth McNEILL

My great aunt Eliza (Lizzie) Patton married Richard Archer Clegg born c1897, they were married 19 Sept 1923 in Donaghadee and had two children Archer Clegg and Betty Clegg. When Richard died Lizzie emigrated to New Zealand with the children.

Anne Patton c1896, Lizzies sister married James Emerson, they had a daughter Winifred.  Anne emigrated to NZ with Winifred after the death of James and she was cremated and interred with my grandparents at Andersons Bay cemetery, Dunedin.

I have a photo of James with Anne and Winifred.  Winifred would be about 4yrs old

I am originally NZ born but have lived in Aust for the last 20 years.  My g/grandfather Thomas and his brother emigrated to NZ followed by my grandfather.

Hi ,

I would be very interested in any information that you may have regarding my paternal line.  The name Matear I have since found out is usually spelt Matier. My great grandmother was Sophia Matier married Thomas Patton,lived in Donaghadee.

My eldest uncle William (Willie)- These are my notes in regards to William- William has an inscription on the gravestone of his uncle Richard Emerson, which is in the Copeland Is Graveyard it reads " Also her nephew Wm.Patton who was lost at sea through enemy action in Feb 1942. Safe in the arms of Jesus. At rest".


I eagerly await your reply.

Kind regards and many thanks

Leonie Bingham (Patton)

Jim,

Thank you so much.  I had not heard of Linen Hall or or the Ross Davies site.

I am a fully paid member of ancestry and uk genealogist but have run into dead ends.

Thank you so much for another avenue to check out.

Have a great Christmas and may 2008 be kind to you.

Kind regards

Leonie

Riley,

Thank you.  The nearest I can come to a date is from a newspaper article I have come across and it says he arrived in 1904, but doesnt say what part of the year.

It says he arrived in Wellington and tossed a coin as to whether he went to Auckland or Dunedin.

So assuming the port was Wellington.

Appreciate your help

Leonie

Thanks Zephyr,

I have since found out that it may have been on the ship Ruapehu.

Now just have to see if I can find the lists of passangers for the Ruapehu

Riley,
Something else I have just found out, apparently he came out on the same ship as Sir James Fletcher of Fletcher Construction and James Love of Naylor Love, but again I cannot find anything on the internet as to which boat these men came out on.

Regards

Leonie
