Hi all,    THIS REQUEST IS NOW COMPLETED THANKS TO ALL

I am very interested in finding out about the Eaton family of Amberley, New Zealand circa 1880 plus.

My main interest is Mary Eaton nee Ford (possibly formerly Hart)

She married Henry Eaton and had a son William Henry,  possibly a daughter as well.

I would like to  end up with a living relative to contact about Mary and her father Thomas Ford.

Any thoughts gratefully recieved.

Cheers

Leandra

Hi Leandra

Interested to know why you think Mary, was formerly "HART"  ?

[According to the NZ Marriage Index, she married Henry EATON in 1880 using the name of "Mary FORD". ]

Hi Leandra

In order to find "a living relative to contact", means you'll need (probably) to follow the line of either the daughter or son of Mary and Henry EATON.

Althea has earlier  given you the daughter "Ethel Mary EATON - born 1881".    The following appears to be the marriage of Ethel.

Ethel Mary EATON - Charles TIMMS - 1901

Children of Ethel Mary and Charles TIMMS :

1902 -   William John Henry TIMMS
1904 -   Charles Edward TIMMS
1906 -   Stanley Gordon TIMMS
1908 -   Norman Ewan TIMMS             }       Twins  ?
1908 -   Ethel Mary Caroline TIMMS     }

NZ Death Index

1959 - TIMMS - Ethel Mary - 77 years (born circa 1882)
