New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Lady Jocelny Ship & Swarbrick

thank you - very helpful.  ;D

I know that William and Jocelyn were buried in Waikumete cemetery having found there records online but the other two children are not mentioned.  I do not know that the other children died but there is no mention of them in the 1901 census in England where I have found Prudence remarried and widowed again. I would have thought she was rather young to leave behind but she may have stayed on with Williams brother Jonathon and his family I suppose. 

In a ships diary I have found online it talks about the birth of Jocelyn as being a sign of future success and a happy omen for those on board the lady Jocelyn - not so for poor Prudence I feel.

Thanks again
Tracy

I know this post is really old but here goes...

In the original post Andy was looking for descendants of William Swarbrick and Prudence who went to NZ on The Lady Jocelyn.

Prudence is my ancestor. She and William married in 1880 just before setting sail to NZ. I think they had an additional two children in NZ, but unfortunately by 1892 all of the children and William had died. Prudence returned to England and remarried.

Would love to be in contact with anyone who knows anything about this family's life in NZ.
Thanks
Tracy
