Hi.
I found the shipping records as well. I thought strange however, We believe children of young age were not always recorded as passengers. We are going to NZ in 3 weeks which may shed more light. Mary Ann aged 20 lived with her mothers sisters, Charlotte, Lillie and Sarah. Mary ann Wood(Rogers) lost her husband Eli age 31 to cotton weaver lung disease. Mary Ann at 20 whilst living with her aunts had 11 month old Sarah Pamela born 1901. This is where she may have been a widow but, nothing found regarding that and child presumed illigitimate as child was absorbed into Veevers marriage in1903.  I need some help with regards to Archie,hopwoid, Mabel and Ernest Veevers. I jave notes on Ernest as Ernest Charles Veevers Tattersall. Notes on Ernest and Mabel and possibly Beatice surnames being changed for travel. All 3 noted as leaving England under surname Tattersall for Alberta Canada. Ernest and Mabledeceased buried in Keephills Cemetery Alberta Canada. Thankyou so much for your help.

Hi
Thanks for responding. our notes state that in 1898 he was still married to Edith and Robert married Mary Ann in 1903. That would make 5 years so bigamy is highly likely as have found nothing on divorce. Robert listed all children on his enlistment to Army in ww1.
As follows:
Sarah Pamela born 4th April 1900  picton, England.
Possibly born as result of another father before they met.
Mary Thurza 4th Jan 1907
James 11th April 1908
Robert 4th Feb 1912
John 7th Sept 1914
All born in Nelson, England.

Robert and Mary Ann married 28th March 1903 at Oldham,England
Address noted 17 Newport St Picton.

All info taken from WW1 enlistment in Royal Army.

Sean's grandfather is Robert Kenneth born 4th Feb 1912.
Robert, Mary Ann, and 2 youngest boy, Robert and John arrived from what
Dates we have noted...arrived in New Zealand approx 1920.

Shipping info yet to be found. All four are buried in Christchurch Cemetery NZ. As for Mary Ann her death information states born Texas,Usa.
Is it possible her family moved to England from U.S?

We are researching Mary. We understand she was born in Texas,USA. If you could shed some light on her and family that would be great. We are in Australia.
