HI

I am starting to do research on the Streeter family. My 3rd great grandmother is Sarah Mercy Streeter who married John Busch about 1857.
I'm looking for any info, but would really like to know when she came to NZ, Boat?? Who with. I have a copy of a book about the Busch family, and it mentions that when Sarah & John married about 1857 she was a widow with a young daughter, so any info on her first marrige would be great - was it here or England?

  As Sarah Mercy Streeter was about 10 years old when she left England, she must have married in New Zealand. Sarah's mother was Keziah Streeter, nee Rendall, and her mother was Mary Measday.
  If anyone in this chain in interested in Thomas Rendall (c1778-1826) and especially Mary Measday (1780), I have her parents and siblings on my tree on RootsWeb, see http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
and enter   measday  in the database box
  Her father was Thomas Measday (1757-1825), her mother was Susannah Spaine (1759-1834), and her brother was Thomas Measday (1783-1855), my 3g grandfather.
  I have not yet entered the Streeter family in this tree, but will do it soon when I have digested all this information in this chain !!
Best wishes
David Measday.

Hi,
Sarah Mercy STREETER was christened on 8th October 1837 in Thanington, Kent, England. Taken from the IGI. Her birth is registered in the English GRO Births Index.

Sarah according to my research was the eldest child of five children of Richard STREETER and Kezia RENDALL/RANDALL.

From the 1841 English census the family lived at Wincheap Street, Snelling's Row,St Mildred, Canterbury.

The family came to New Zealand in 1851 on the Ship "Steadfast" . They left on 27th February 1851 from London and arrived at Lyttelton, New Zealand on 8th June 1851.
Their name was transcribed as "Sheeter".

Sarah Mercy STREETER married in New Zealand in 1854 to David STEPHENS. He died in Nelson on 3rd August 1856, aged 25 years.
They had one child - Kezia Ann STEPHENS b.2nd April 1855 in Nelson and d.23 December 1857 in Blenheim.

Sarah married John BUSCH on 1st December 1857 in Nelson.

Am I correct that you are a descendant of George William Henry BUSCH and Anna Maria Catherina ALVE, Theresa Anna BUSCH and Charles Cecil EMMEMS?

I would be interested in comparing notes on the BUSCH Family as Annie STREETER, Sarah's youngest sister had descendants marry into the BUSCH family. I am still trying to sort them out correctly with the correct parents.

Hope this information is helpful.

Cheers Helen

Hi
Have been reviewing my information on Jane Maria STREETER. I have that she was christened on 10 November 1844 in Kent, England. She died 30 August 1907 in Nelson, New Zealand. She married in 28 September 1861 to Frederick Robert MILLARD.(b.31 January 1831 - d.9 April 1896).

Can anyone confirm that below are the correct children of Jane and Frederick MILLARD? All born in New Zealand - query Nelson.

Walter Edwin Richard MILLARD (b.23 September 1862 - d.21 September 1928)
Annie Martha MILLARD (b.30 October 1864 - d.26 March 1941)
Randall John MILLARD (b.6 October 1867 - d.21 June 1928)
William Robert MILLARD (b.4 September 1869 - d.12 March 1949)
Lucetta Ann MILLARD (b.24 December 1872 - d.9 February 1943)
Francis Samuel MILLARD (b.20 December 1875 - d.8 February 1900)
Joseph George MILLARD (b.5 April 1879 - d.4 February 1896)
Ethel Ada MILLARD (b.15 September 1881 - d.11 March 1965 )
Edith Mary MILLARD (b.18 October 1884 - d.2 July 1908)

I think that only the eldest five children marry. I apologise in advance if any of the above information is incorrect.

Look forward to any further help.

Many thanks Helen

  The Millard family on Ancestry has Lucetta Ann Millard (1872) dieing in 1907; the others are agree. Worth checking out Lucetta.

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply. I can not access that information. However, I can not find a Lucetta Ann MILLARD dying in 1907. Looking up the New Zealand Birth, Death and Marriage Indexes I have found:

Lucetta Ann Millard birth to parents Jane Maria (Streeter) and Frederick Robert ( Millard) registered in 1873 in Nelson, New Zealand.

The only death recorded for the name Lucetta Ann MILLARD is in 1864 and the child is 6 years old.

I am trying to verify that Lucetta Ann MILLARD married Thomas JONES on 11 December 1902 in New Zealand. I have found a death for a Lucetta Ann JONES dying 9 February 1943 in New Zealand. This date fits for Lucetta Ann MILLARD born 1872 - however it may be incorrect.

I  am open to any suggestions or help.

Many thanks
Helen
