Richard Ansell Hayter ca 1825 Berkshire

[josey]

Richard Ansell Hayter was born ca 1825 probably in Sunninghill Berkshire, parents Richard Hayter & Sarah Ansell.

I found a webpage - 1860 Christchurch list of people liable to serve in the militia, when he was a farmer in Lower Heathcote - indicating he had emigrated to New Zealand. In the 1861 census his sister Henrietta was in England with a son, Edwin Richard J Hayter, aged 8 born in New Zealand. Perhaps the siblings emigrated together but she decided to go back? Neither are findable on the England 1851 census.

Might I be able to find out if Richard married and when he died?

Thank you, Josey

EDIT: a kind rootschatter found a newspaper advert of 1859 wherein Richard advertised a pregnant sow, imported from Berkshire, for sale.

Little bit about the son Edwin in case you don't already have it.

He appears in the 1891 London census with a wife Helena 32 and children William 13 Helene 4.

I had found that census, but thank you.

I have no experience whatsoever researching NZ records

Thank you both Leanne & GLC, both look good.

Henrietta said she was unmarried in the 1861 census. Would the father Thomas have to have attended the registration for his name to be entered if the Edwin was born illegitimately?

The above was registered in Christchurch and the last listing for Richard Ansell Hayter in the NZ Electoral Rolls is 1905/6 at Sydenham Chambers , Christchurch. You can search for a marriage here , but I couldn't find one :

Thank you. NZ records are a new venture for me, that's a useful site. 

BTW I have your cat's twin here....

Lovely cat - I'm afraid we lost Tommy at Christmas . We miss him very much.

Good luck with the NZ records.
