Edwin Fox
Ship: 836 tons
Captain: John S Davies
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr Tighe
Sailed London December 23rd 1874 - arrived Wellington April 18th 1875
The Edwin Fox was a full-rigged ship
of 836 tons, built to the order of the famous East India Company. In 1878 her rig was
changed to a barque. About the year 1873 she was brought by the Shaw, Savill Company, and
in that year she made her first tri to New Zealand, Lyttleton being her port of call. In
1874 the Edwin Fox sailed from London on December 23, and arrived at Wellington on April
18, 1875, bringing 259 immigrants. She originally left London on November 24, but during a
gale at Deal lost her anchor and put back. The vessel was then in command of Captain
Walpole. On resuming her voyage again she ran into and sank
a collier schooner, the Edwin Fox drifting on to the rocks at Deal. She was towed off and
docked, and finally left on December 23, in command of Captain Davis.

MILLS family: Henry Mills was born about 1842 to William and Elizabeth at Lyme Regis, Dorset, England. His wife, Mary Ann Gould was born in 1848 to Isaac and Marie (nee Le Tissier), St Peter Port, Guernsey and died in 1883 in Wellington, New Zealand. Henry and Mary Ann were married in August 1869 at St Peter Port. Children born in St Peter Port were; Eliza Ada in 1871and Lily Ann on October 15th 1873. Lily Ann died on the Edwin Fox on the voyage out to New Zealand on December 25th 1874 aged 14 months. Subsequent children born in Wellington, New Zealand were; Joseph Henry in 1876; Lily Isabel in 1878, who married James Robert Lowe in Dunedin 1901 and died in 1960 in Dunedin, New Zealand - she is buried in the Anderson's Bay Cemetery, Dunedin - this is my Great Grandmother - Granma Lowe - and Charles J. born in 1880 or 1881. Little is known of Henry Mills after the death of his wife but it is thought that he went to Pahiatua and died there either 1910 or 1911. The older daughter, Ada, came to New Zealand some months after the death of her mother. The younger three children were in various schools in Dunedin between 1885 and 1891. Lily appears to have lived with William and Susanna Pickett for a number of years including 1891 but trace is lost of the boys after their last school entry in 1897. If you have a connection with this family or can provide any further information please contact Shona Paton. |
