Hi Janette & TedD.

Yes I have all their travel details thank you.

Ted, Charles should read Charlotte a daughter of Jacob & Charlotte & yes Teakins should be Feakins, thats one that had me confused at the beginning when in came up on a marriage certificate. It was hard to decipher the T or F.

Hi Janette & TedD.

Yes I have all their travel details thank you.

Ted, Charles should read Charlotte a daughter of Jacob & Charlotte & yes Teakins should be Feakins, that's one that had me confused at the beginning when in came up on a marriage certificate. It was hard to decipher the T or F.

Charlotte (Jacob and Charlotte's daughter) is also listed in the record.  I was not sure that it was a double entry and would like to be able to see the original document.  However I spent a lot of time yesterday scanning the UK Birth and Census records.  I found 2-possible birth Index Records for Charles Feakins but cannot find any record of the family at all in the 1871 UK Census (have them in 1861).

So only suggestion of a Charles so far is in the immigrant list I found.

Cheers

It was supposed to read Charlotte age 13 she was transferred to womens.

Thanks - I followed the link to the original images of the Passenger List.  I will study the handwritten records tonight.  I looked at the index pages - there are no Teakins from what I can see between the flowery script and the watermark on the page and there is no Charles with the Feakins.  The LDS transcriber got it wrong.  Our job is to get it right.

Charles had a very short life - imagined - and mysterious but resolved by MacKiwi.

Thanks

Yep,

Thanks Janette that is an excellent link to a resource I have never seen before.  I read each page by inverting it as the negative image of faint writing is a lot clearer than normal view.

Charles Feakins was indeed a figment of the original LDS transcribers imagination.

I see everyone except Jacob and Charlotte travelled for free (100% on the NZ Government).  I presume Jacob and Charlotte had to pay a share of their fare due to their advanced years.

Cheers

The original ship's manifest is on the FamilySearch pilot website,the passengers are in alphabetical order and yes the Feakins are before the Friends,it is well worth a look,it gives the cost to the government and cost to the individuals

Janette a great site, finally found time to check out somme of the rellies.
Am I right in thinking that where the is no mention of payment that the total cost was covered by the government?

Somewhere back in the 1900s I was researching the Rogers family and had an address to write to for Methodist records but when driving through Bell Block we came across the graves of William Rogers and his wife Eliza Scandlyn which we had been hunting for. Badly damaged and tucked away in the corner of an empty section on the corner of Mangati Road. Was going to get permission to restore this grave but a new church popped up on the same property and the grave was restored. I then ceased to follow up on finding the records until now this Feakins family have surfaced and they are buried in the same cemetery.

Does anyone know where the old records are and can we access them or were they destroyed with the church? 

Ted - what is your interest in the Rogers family? This is my husband's line and I have some information, including a picture of the gravestone of William Rogers and Eliza Scandlyn.

Hello Cindy

My wife's  mother was a Feakins. Her father was Horace and her mother Mary Anne Rogers. I did a similar project on the Rogers as I am proposing for the Feakins. I do have photographs of the grave stone of William and Eliza and also have a very nice original photograph of William and Eliza. This photo started me on Genealogy because I thought what an interesting person he looked. When you think of the way the older Rogers children must have helped their younger brothers and sister when their mother was  murdered. A great family and there must be many wonderful stories out there about them.
