Hi Ian - thank you for your reply.
From this information I found below are you able to tell me if this is the same Henry Sarjeant - my grandfather was Archibald Stuart Sarjeant. A long time ago my parents were invited to attend a reunion at the Sarjeant Gallery in Wanganui but were unable to make it - I am now trying to work out the connection.
Gregor McGregor and family
Gregor McGregor (1818 - 19 May 1876) of Smithfield, Wanganui married Catherine Fraser (4 January 1914) (daughter of Duncan and Marjorie Fraser) on 6 November 1841. According to his obituary, he had eight sons and six daughters at the time of his death. As best as I can ascertain at this point, they were as follows:
1. Helen McGregor (1842 - 10 March 1876) married Isaac Sargeant (variously spelled Sargeant or Sarjeant) (1838 - 1907) of Fernie lea in 1865. Isaac was a widower with two daughters:
A. Louisa Sargeant married John James Tylee (son of John James and Mary Rickett Tylee nee Bowman) (1854 - 1937) in 1881
B. Rosa Marion "Marion" Sargeant (1859 - 1957) married Arthur James Stewart Seaton (1853 - 1918) in 1880
Isaac and Helen had six children, including:
1.1 Isaac William Henry Sargeant (1867)
1.2 Annie Victoria Sargeant (1870)
1.3 Edgar Munro Sarjeant (1872 - 1942) married Jessie McLeod (1875 - 1957) in 1896. The family lived at Denlair, Fordell.
1.3.1 Eric Keith Sarjeant (1897 - 1963). Eric served in WWI, enlisting in July 1917.
1.3.2 Evan Sarjeant (1898 - 1922)
1.3.3 Henry Lyall Sargeant (1899 - 1966) married Myrtle Richardson in 1925.
1.3.3.1 Henry Lyall Jennings Sarjeant (1927 - 1950)
1.3.4 Edgar Sarjeant (11 December 1903 - 1985) married Gertrude Smith in 1926.
1.3.5 Isaac Sarjeant (28 March 1906 - 1982)
1.3.6 Archibald Stuart Sargeant (2 September 1908 - 1974)
1.3.7 Roderick Leslie Sargeant (1910 - 27 June 1942). Killed during WWII
