Warwickshire / Re: On finding the real EDWARD ASHWIN!
« on: Tuesday 03 January 12 08:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Kate,
It's a real mixup isn't it ? My records say 7 sons and 7 daughters. But adding them up there appears to be 7 sons and 8 daughters. I have a copy of the passenger list of the Sabastobol which lists 3 of Martin Richards sisters Helen,Mary and Sarah acompanied them to NZ. They set up a school for young ladies in Christchurch called Hagley House.  I think there may be some confusion and they are lumped in with all the kids. Even so they were obviously profilic breeders. My grandmother (Alice) who married Martin Edward was from a family of 16. Big families were the norm. Yes emails would be good. But there is that much stuff here that post would be better.

Name Allan Ashwin. I would love to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Allan.

My records show 7 sons, 7 daughters. 3 of Martin Edwards sisters came to NZ wih the family. Helen, Marian and Sarah had a school for young ladies called Hagley House, in Christchurch. According to the Sebastopol passenger list they brought 7 children with them. I would be interested to know who the extras were.
