Mahala Muggridge (nee Chandler)

Thanks Carol.

I'm juggling a number of balls in the air at the moment (well, not literally), but I recall that I was stuck with Mahala, who was a g-g-grandmother. You have inspired me to revisit the family history stuff, and I'll get to it in a couple days hopefully.

If Mahala is who we both think she is, then I have a lot of material on her descendants, and also on the forebears of her husband William Muggridge (or Muggeridge, take your pick). Is this of interest to you?

Regards

Hello Alan,
Thank you for responding.

The one thing a couple of us noticed with your research was that you had not made a final determination as to whether Mahalah Chandler, my g-g-g grandmother and daughter of Edward Chantler and Sarah Smith is one and the same with your Mahala Muggridge.

We're glad to share any information that you wish and if it turns out she is the same - we would love to include your Muggridge history.

When you stop juggling, I will look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,

Carol Chandler

I have just found this information regarding Mahala Muggridge.  Mahala & William Muggridge had a son William born 1836 in Heathfield.  He married Elizabeth Towner in 1866 and their first child was named Mahala Constance Muggridge born 1867.  Mahala Constance's sister Louisa married Frank Drury.  Frank & Louisa came to New Zealand to NZ in 1913.  Louisa died in NZ in 1919.  Their headstone has one of the casualties of the recent Christchurch earthquake.

Have information on this family.
