Hello Doug

My father was Vern Rountree. Son of Ivo and Elizabeth Rountree. Ivo was son on William Rountree.

In reading the thread I made a few notes about the children of Margaret Anne and Meredith Rountree.

According to Janettekaye the children were Meredith, Joseph, George, William, Christopher and Gilbert.

Fizzyross says there are seven children: Emma (from whom he is descended), Jones, Annie Alicia, Meridith, Stephen Gilbert, Margaretta and Joseph

That gives us:

  • Margaretta (died in infancy)
  • Annie Alicia
  • Emma
  • Meredith
  • Joseph (died aged 9, 12 or 14)
  • Jones
  • Stephen Gilbert
  • William?
  • George?
  • Christopher?


I'm not sure whether anyone has already posted this (apologies if it has), but here is a link to a Daily Southern Cross article which lists the passengers arriving on the Portland in 1863:

Passengers include:

Meredith Rountree
Margaret Rountree
Gilbert Rountree
Emma Rountree
Meredith Rountree
Joseph Rountree

James Gilbert
Eliza Gilbert [Eliza Jane]
Anna Gilbert [Annie]
Stephen Gilbert
John Gilbert [Jack]
Maria Gilbert [Sara Maria]
Thomas Gilbert [Tom]
Mary Gilbert [Mary Elizabeth/Minnie]

Eliza Jane Gilbert was Margaret Anne Rountree's sister.  I hadn't realised they'd gone to New Zealand together until recently when it was pointed out to me by a descendant of the above Sara Maria Gilbert.
