thanks nottsgirl1, and all others on this thread. sorry I have been so long. Major life changing catastrophe. The dust has almost settled now. You have been a tremendous help,
Yes .... nottsgirl1, this looks like the right marriage. Lucy's Dad's name is correct. A frame work Knitter is correct. We have the right Lucy, ( my 2nd great Grandmother )
When Lucy NEWTON was born on February 7, 1844, in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, her father, Emmanuel, was 38 and her mother, Charlotte, was 38. She married John Thomas HALLAM on July 24, 1864, in Nottinghamshire. By the time Lucy and her husband John emigrated to New Zealand in ..... they had already lost 2 children at home in Nottingham,England. They had 4 children with them on board the ship and Lucy was pregnant at the time. By the time they arrived in Brooklyn, New York, 3 had died and they only had Lucy, the baby with them. Someone on board was suffering from Scarlet Fever and it went through the ship like a dose of salts, even some of the crew died of it. My mother tells me Lucy and John had 21 children in 23 years. I find it hard to believe. She died on February 6, 1924, in Cheltenham, Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand, at the age of 79.
What I need is...... John Thomas Hallam's exact date of birth ( birth Cert ) more proof of his mothers maiden name.
Cheers,
Jon.
