I do have the names of John and Mary's children, however I haven't been able to follow them all as yet.  Mary my 2x greatgrandmother had 9 children so there are many descendants living in New Zealand and Australia. And Thomas had at least 10 children as well so he carried the Dewar name to New Zealand.

Hi jericho

I am a NZ relation. My great grand father was Thomas Dewar who married Barbara Barclay. They arrived in NZ 1874.

Hi Heta



Welcome to Rootschat, my 3x great grandmother was Mary Dewar a sister of your great grandfather Thomas, Mary arrived in Nelson in 1842 and married Joseph Andrews of Nelson. I am a descendant of Mary through my mothers side of the family. I was born and raised in New Zealand, however I have been living in Australia for a few years now.  I would be interested in exchanging information about our family but before we can do that, you will need to post twice more on Rootschat.

Hi jericho

Did Mary come to NZ on her own? I have a copy of the 1841 census so I didn't realise that there was an older sister Mary.

Hi Heather


Yes, Mary did travel on her own, she unfortunately was not living with her parents in 1841, and I have had a struggle connecting her to her parents John and Mary Dewar, and it wasn't until I got her death certificate that I was able to connect her to the family, as the daughter she was living with when she died put her mother's Mary Christie's parent names instead of John and Mary Dewar, so that helped confirm her for me and also gave me her grandparents.

Hi jerico

Have you had any contact with the family of Thomas Dewar? There seem to be a lot of us.
