London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 Census lookup - Bodle

OK great that makes the 1974 Alfriston centenary book here wrong and it was George and Eliza's auntie Susan and her maid Louisa Haines that came out to New Zealand.  Perhaps George went back for Susan in circa 1881...??? as she was living alone at that stage in Paddington, London I believe with her nurse Louisa and we know both came out to New Zealand and lived in the front rooms of George and Eliza's house in Aldriston, South Auckland. Any other info on them would be appreciated.

I have tracked Louisa Haines to Brighton (b) 1861

Thankyou for your valuable help.

Regards

The Miles you refer to was later although don't seem to have him fitted in anywhere. No doubt off one of the lines and as you say Rossane has more. I am a bit like Rossanne but not as used to technology. What I have in my material is a McInnes line going back to 1500's that looks like....
It would be worth testing the verasity of this with Maggie MacDonald at Clan Donald Centre although I have not done this... My McInnes line I can best gauge is ....

Angus Mor (suggested as related to murdered last Laird McInnes from Morvern - possibly a brother)
Miles (given land Leitir Fura Slate (Sleat))
Neil (Leitir Fura)
John (Leitir Fura) and brother Angus Og (captain of men of Sleat captured 1601)
Malcolm (Leitir Fura) and bother Angus line to Isleornsay / merchant
John(Leitir Fura)
Malcolm (Leitir Fura)
*Black John - Angus - **Donald - Duncan - Miles (to US / War of Independence) - (all born Leitir Fura)
*Miles (b Leitir Fura - last to be buried Isle Ornsay) (m) Marion McKenzie - shifted to Drumfearn circa 1792
(have a list of Miles's brothers / sister also who supposedly were Malcolm - Angus Mor - Angus Og - John - Neil - Rachael)
Miles & Marion (Drumfearn)had :
*Donald - Alexander- John- Neil - Malcolm(1801) - Angus(Sandy) - Miles - Catherine (c1806)
Catherine McInnes (Drumfearn) (m) ***Donald McInnes (Heaste) (my g, g, grandparents)

From ** Donald above
Malcolm - to Heaste
*** Donald

The Miles McInnes (m) Mary McLure you refer to will be related off one of the lines no doubt .... without having all of this in a database it is bit hard for me to follow sometimes. I must ask Rossane if she has a database that I can add to ...
Hope this hasn't confused you .... It maybe of use to others also...

Regards

Yeap... Neil (m) Matheson is the son of Miles McInnes (m) Marion McKenzie. He was originally from Leitir Fura where his father Black John McInnes was one of the last occupants. (relocated by MacDonald in circa 1792 to Drumfearn). Neil was one of 6 or 7 boys I think it was and one daughter Catherine who married a Donald McInnes from Heaste across the loch, (son of Malcolm McInnes (m) Margaret Buchanan).

This Malcolm was also related to Miles of Drumfearn and I have all of this somewhere. The Nicholson / Mary McLure bit I copied in last message is recorded along with Angus Nicholson's family in the front of his bible from Drumfearn (he emigrated to Picton, Australia). He was a son of the John and Meron (nee McInnes) Nicholson's mentioned.

Anything you have on any McInnes's would be appreciated to add to my growing jigsaw puzzle and if I can help in anyway please advise - email is (*)

I have a record of a Donald Nicholson whose son Neil married a Mary McLure. They had a son John Nicholson (1790) who (m 1810) Meron / Marion McInnes - daughter of Malcolm and Margaret McInnes of Heaste.

Do you have any other McInnes connections in your files from Sleat / Strath including Drumfearn area please?

Evidently Dr George Bodle and Eliza (nee Darroch) arrived in Papakura, Auckland, New Zealand in circa 1875. They had supposedly left their home in Alfriston, Sussex, together with their three children. The mother I have now discovered, and that came out with them, was Eliza's mother, Mrs Susan Darrock (nee Parker), and she was accompanied by her maid Louisa Haines who both occupied the front suite of rooms in their new home at Alfriston, New Zealand. Mrs Susan Darrock's husband was a Major Duncan Darrock with Eliza born during the seige of Lucknow in India, 1857.

Background - John Darroch and Mary MacAlpin were booked to marry in the parish of Kilcalmonell, May 18th, 1787. Duncan Darrock-   baptised   23: 1:1796 refer
www.ringofpeace.org/about/darroch.html
Major Duncan Darroch is recorded on the promotion and preferment list for 1842 as being a Brevet Captain with the 81st Foot being promoted to Major. (Appearing inTHE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Thursday, February 19, 1824 - Military column as gazetted - 20th Regiment of Foot, Ensign Duncan Darroch to be lieutenant without purchase)

Does this help...?

Do you have all the info you need on Dr George Bodle, Alfriston, NZ

eg His wife was born on circa 1867 during the siege of Lucknow - her father was a major in British army. Dr George came out to New Zealand as the ship's surgeon, also evidently with his mother plus her maid, (year circa 1874). Her maid's name was a Louisa Haines circa Brighton 1861 (who was my great grandmother). He did not establish a practice here although was registered I understand from records. He gave long faithful service to the residents and gum diggers of South Auckland (Alfriston & Brookby areas) in his capacity as a 'free' doctor.  Mr & Mrs George Bodle built a lovely homestead by all accounts however it has not endured the test of time. He also built, with other residents a place known as the "Meeting House" - a Church of Christ establishment. 'Bushey Park' was the name of his farm covering an extensive area in the 1880's reaching from the Anglican Church to the junction of Ranfurly and Stratford Roads, bording the Alfriston Road opposite the Church, including the school, store and what was the Stone property in the 1970's.

I am interested in any census information on Louisa Haines (b Feb 1861 Brighton UK) and parents from Brighton, as I do not have access to it here....Can anyone assist please?
