Hi All

Can anyone help please.

I am afraid I put the request on the wrong board.

This family arrived in Auckland 1865 aboard the "Andrew Jackson".

      Louisa                        }       of origin I'm afraid
      William
      Arthur
      Louis Roberts

The listing directly below shows

(I'm presuming they are all one family - William and Mary the parents ?).

Will see if I can find another passenger list for this voyage which may have more detail.

Ah ... if you look again at the Purewa Cemetery listings,
William EADY is buried with Mary Louise EADY (b.c. 1829)

And two children shown on the passenger list, Arthur and Louis Roberts EADY, are also buried at Purewa.

Mmm ... after all that, I hope they are "yours"  (or I might just have to start hunting all over again) ?

And might this be William and Mary's marriage ?

Thought I recognised the name - Lewis Eady was (and still is) a very well known music shop here in Auckland - it was the place to go for sheet music or anything musical. 

There is a history of the company on their website

which includes photos of the various shops.
