The Ted D'Auvergne Story

The Channel Islands, an archipelago in the English Channel, 10 to 30 miles off the coast of France, belonging to Great Britain. The group comprises of Jersey (45 sq. mi.), Guernsey (25 sq. mi.) and the following dependencies of Guernsey: Alderney, Brechou, Great Sark, Little Stark, Herm, Jethou and Lihou. St Helier is on the south coast of Jersey, 122 miles ssw of Southampton. St. Peter Port is the principal town of Guernsey. Many islanders were Anglican or RC and fluent in French and English. A remarkable number of people from the Channel Islands came to New Zealand especially in the 1870s.

I invite you to utilise the guestbook or submit Channel Islands surnames that you are researching by email. Please email me with names (SURNAME capitalized) (maiden names in brackets), origin, departure port, New Zealand arrival port and year, vessel, and locale (area in New Zealand where your ancestor settled). Your query must have a New Zealand and Channel Islands connection or it will not be posted. Maybe a pattern will emerge that will assist others in identifying their descendants, route and arrival vessel in New Zealand. At least ten Channel Islanders families came out on the Dilharee in 1874 to Lyttelton.

Queries

Elaine 30 May 2007
SARRE : I am looking for information on Selina Sarre who left Guernsey with her sister Julia, probably in the early 1870s. Selina married Thomas Edward Simms. Selina died on September 17, 1918 and is buried in the Terrace End Cemetery, Palmerston North. Pilot T.E. Simms drowned at Wellington Heads in 1889. Any information on Selina would be greatly appreciated.

DAWES and SIDDALL - I have my Gt grandfather's name from my g/f birth certificate - Richard Charles Dawes born 1863 St Heliers Jersey CI, Occupation listed as miner, he's listed on the Marsden electoral roll in 1893. He married Elizabeth Siddall 4 Aug 1891 at Kamo, Whangarei Registry Office. According to the tale, he deserted his family and went to Australia? There were two children from this marriage Julian Vivian Siddall and Alice Siddall.
On my g/f birth certificate, Julian Vivian is listed as Siddall not Dawes, Siddall being his mothers maiden name. Richard has to date been extremely elusive, that is all the information I have. If you have anything at all I would be most grateful as I have spent a lot of hours looking for this man

Edward FRICKER
Mary FRICKER nee HAGGIE
Children: Edward, William, George,Mary Jane and John
This family left the Isle of Jersey 21 February 1856, for Southampton to sail to New Zealand on the 'Sir Edward Paget'. A misunderstanding and the family missed the ship and they were left in London for four months until a sailing was found on the 'Strathmore', sailing from Gravesend on the 24 June 1856 arriving at Port Chalmers, Otago, New Zealand, 4 October 1856. They settled in the north of Otago.

GAVEY: I am trying to find out when my mother's family came to New Zealand from Jersey. Their name was GAVEY and the head of the house was Joshue Edward who married an English woman called Jane Mary Langford. They produced 6 children on Jersey - Louisa who was 11 at the 1881 census, Edward 9, Annie 6, Walter 4, Rose 3, (my grandmother) Gertrude 9 months and then they had Martin who was born we understand in Scotland. All the children were given the name of Langford as their second name. Before they left they lived at 14 Library Place, St. Helier. Rose, was about 16 when they landed in Auckland. That means they must have arrived here about 1904. I think they may have looked at settling in Sydney (Aust.) but didn't like it and came on to Auckland. In Auckland my great grandfather, Joshue, opened up an importing business and they lived in the suburb of Te Rapa. The graves of both Joshue and Jane Mary Gavey are in the Purewa Cemetery in Auckland.

WHITEMAN: I am currently trying to trace a Whiteman family from Jersey and in particular Clara Ann WHITEMAN. I understand she was born around 1859 she left for New Zealand ca 1874 with her parents William Thomas WHITEMAN (described as a coachbuilder) and Susan nee WEBBER. Sometime after arriving in New Zealand, Clara married James Parsons WILLIAMSON in Napier. Clara died on 29 January 1894. The Death Certificate I have shows her place of birth as Jersey but I have been unable to find any trace of her or her family through any other sources.

BENNETT, Matthew Herrix b. 1834 St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands - served as an ensign in the British Army in India 1857-8 (Perhaps at the relief of Lucknow? - possibly in the 65th Regiment?) On return to Great Britain married Sophia TAYLOR (2nd marriage for her - nee Sims) on 6 May 1861 at Saint Leonards, Shoreditch, London - first son Matthew John Bennett born 26 Jan 1862.

Travelled out to New Zealand in the mid to late 1860's - family letters indicate he may have been with the British Army (65th Regiment again?) based near Wellington. By the mid 1870's the family were living in Auckland and M.H. Bennett started up a successful importing and decorating business - later named M.J. Bennett, Ltd (after the first son) with showrooms at 253-255 Karangahape Rd, Newton and Broadway, Newmarket, Auckland.

Marriage notice of the oldest son: BENNETT - LIPSETT On June 25, 1884 at St. Matthew's Church, by the Rev. W. Tebbs, Mathew John Bennett, eldest son of M.H. Bennett, Painter, Freemans Bay, Auckland to Margaret Lipsett, late of Gisborne, second daughter of James Lipsett Esq., North of Ireland - Gisborne and Home papers please copy.

James Lipsett may have served in the army with M.H. Bennett? Can anyone help? Although a New Zealander, I am married to an Italian and now live in Italy, making the Internet my only means of research in New Zealand. We are trying to find out when & how M.H. Bennett and family came out to NZ. Also I find genealogy research in Jersey very difficult and would appreciate any contact information there.

ARMSTRONG: I am interested in obtaining more details regarding Francis Wheeler ARMSTRONG. He was born in Tipperary, Ireland and married Esther de Quetteville 15 June 1819 at St Helier, Jersey. They had 5 children born at St Brelade or St Peter, Jersey.

The third son, Fredrick Gerard ARMSTRONG (born at St Peter), was a Captain in the Coldstream Guards and in the Prince of Wales own West Yorkshire 14th Foot Regiment which traveled to New Zealand in January 1861. Any information on the extended family would be appreciated.
