Henty May Chappell 1871 portsea Hampshire

[pincard]

My hobby is finding old photos that have names and births on them and trying to trace their family to scan the photo to them.
I have a photo of Henty May Chappell born 1871 Portsea Hampshire
I have been told by a rootschatter that she sailed on the Lady Jocelyn to Te Puke New Zealand 1880. I know her mother's maiden name was Fielder and her father was Joseph bygrave Chappell.
This is the first photo I have had where the person has left the Uk and I am a bit out of my depth now.
I would love to find Henty's decendants and scan the photo to them.
Any help would be much appreciated.pincard

This site lists some CHAPPELL death notices for the Te Puke area in the 1950/60s

It lists some grandchildren of the deceased.  It's possible they are still alive.

And a more recent one here

Hi there just wanted to thank you again for the info and to say that Christine Clement is going to put the photos in her book and also send copies to the local library. A good result but will still try to find living relations.
Thank you again. Always good to get results.

Henty Chappell married firstly Thomas Owen Williams (1892) and secondly George Whitelaw (1921).  She died in 1931 and is buried in Bromley Cemetery Christchurch.  Children from the first marriage were Margaret Alice (1893) and Charles Henry (1907).  Margaret Alice married George Thorp (1919) and seems to have been widowed the same year, marrying Robert Jennings in 1923.

Apologies if this has been posted on one of the other threads.

Descendants of Henty May CHAPPELL

Henty May and Thomas Owen WILLIAMS, also had other children.    

NZ Births

1896 - WILLIAMS - Mildred May
Parents:   Henly [sic] May & Thomas 0.
-------------------------------------

There is a marriage < after 1930, so unable to post details here > for a "Mildred May WILLIAMS" - if same person, then she wed rather late in life, so maybe had "no issue" ?
Slightly complicating that find, is no (apparent) death registration in NZ under married or maiden names - and it appears that husband may have re-married some 5 years later (but no "divorce" to be seen.)  ??

Mildred May does not appear under married name on Electoral rolls - she's there however, (as WILLIAMS)  living at times in same locations as other family members.  [Last on Wellington West roll in 1938.]

Arthur Owen WILLIAMS   -  cont'd.

Further Electoral listing

WILLIAMS - Arthur O. - at Rotorua - 1972 to 1978

There is also a probate record (at Archives NZ - Auckland) for the following:

WILLIAMS - Arthur Owen - Waipukurau/Rotorua
- Ret'd. Company Director - 1977

Maybe there's a burial or cremation record at Rotorua which might confirm age of this man ?
