Vine Chatterton family

[keith110639]

My Gt GT Grandfather Matthew Southwell Vine's youngest sister married Michael Chatterton and one of her son's John Vine Chatterton B.1847 married in 1871 to Annie Parrett in London, UK after which it seems they emigrated to New Zealand. I would like to know if they had any children but do not have access to records here in the UK. Any help would be appreciated.

John Vine CHATTERTON had a long life - he died in 1926 aged 79 years.

Archives New Zealand (Wellington office) hold a Probate file for him.

Can't immediately see when exactly he came to New Zealand, but NZ Passenger Lists (available free to view at the Family Search website), show J V CHATTERTON (bc 1846) returning to Wellington NZ from Sydney, Australia, on 4 November 1924 (at which time he would have been about 77 or 78 years of age.)

In 1924 he is on a passenger list from Sydney Australia to Wellington

Hi keith110639

There is actually a CHATTERTON family tree (at the ancestry.com website) - although it appears somewhat strange as it doesn't have JV 's children listed.

Hello again

According to the online CHATTERTON tree, (wife) "Annie made the journey to New Zealand as an assisted emigrant ... whilst John Vine is said to have worked his passage to NZ as an AB seaman".

Hi

.... just needed to confirm something found on the online tree (e.g. Annie's arrival in Canterbury, NZ, per the ship "Dover Castle").

It appears that Annie emigrated using her maiden name.     Fact is, that that surname is actually mis-transcribed on the index to (NZ) Immigrants at the Family Search website.

Here's the listing >

Annie PARRELL - aged 25 years - ex Devonsh. - occupation:  Cook

The "Dover Castle" arrived at Canterbury (Port of Lyttelton) in 1872.

You can view on the Family Search site the scan of the passenger list ... which helpfully has recorded alongside of Annie PARRELL's name, that she was "married to John CHASSINGTON".

So obviously some errors with spellings of surnames.      But given that Annie's age at death > 75 in 1921 ... and the age recorded for Annie PARRELL in 1872, equate to a birthyear of circa 1846 > it would seem most likely that the lady on the "Dover Castle"' was the wife of John CHATTERTON.
