It would be interesting to know what was the given marital status of AGNES ROSA AYDON when she died in 1875 NZ.

Would the NZ certificate give this information?

Her death notice uses the term "WIFE of PHILLIP HENRY AYDON"

ADDING

The implication is that at the time of her death, he was at SANDRIDGE??

The 24th July 1875 Nelson Evening Mail newspaper notice says 'wife of Phillip Henry Aydon of Sandridge Victoria'

Fed Aydon's sister died at sea in 1922. GERRY

Just to clarify here.

This is KATE RICKARDS who has alredy been mentioned on the thread.

Kate Rickards (widow of Henry Rickards theatrical promoter) died in 1923 and left money to her brothers Frederick and Archibald Aydon.    ROS

She died in Sept 1922.
The news item in 1923 is regarding her will and its bequests.

Miss O. AYDON (Olive) aged 36, the neice of KATE and the dau. of FREDERICK  is also on the passenger list and is mentioned in the text linked by GERRY.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for all that info. I new a little bit about Katie and Frederick, but what you have found made very interesting reading.

Philips parents were Isaac Aydon and Maria Ann Robinson born and died England.
Agnes parents were John Thomas Smith and Emily Rington know that they were born in England not sure about deaths yet, still working on that one.

Still trying to find when Archibald went to NZ if any one can point me in the direction of a good website that would be great. He married May Jane Woodward, and had 14 children. Of the triplet boys only one lived to aultdhood.
