Jessie ADAMSON As a 24 year old, Jessie Adamson emigrated to New Zealand on board this sailing of the Kelso. Originally bound for Otago, she was to meet the recently widowed James Henry Baggarley when the ship called in to Wellington on November 4th 1849. James had recently lost his wife and two of his four children and was no doubt on the lookout for a new wife to care for him and his two children. They were married after a very short time, on 10th December that same year and had three children, before James died in Wellington on 13 February 1856. This left Jessie with 4 children to care for and no doubt this placed her in a very difficult situation, particularly in those years. We will never know what her existence was like at that time but can only assume it must have been extremely difficult.Three years later in 1859 she gave birth to a daughter, Mary Jane, given the surname BAGLEY, whose father, in the Registrar General's records, is listed as Charles ASKINS a soldier in the 65th Regiment. A further illegitimate daughter was born at the Head of the Bay in Akaroa in 1864, whose father was recorded as Henry VALLER and it was unusual then for the father's name to be given. Following this child was another in 1867, a son registered as Harry VALLER, fathered by Henry once again. Eight years later Jessie and Henry married, no doubt having to wait until Henry's first wife had died. Jessie died on 13 Aug 1884 at Porirua and is buried in the old Presbyterian cemetery in Tawa Flat. Her death record states that her father was David ADAMS an Engineer. She and Charles ASKINS were associated circa Aug 1858 at Wellington, New Zealand. Children of Jessie ADAMSON and Charles ASKINS were: Mary Jane Askins; born illegitimate March 1st 1859 at Wellington, New Zealand, married Daniel Thomas KING, son of George Thomas KING and Susannah Ellen DODD, 15 Mar 1882 in Wellington, New Zealand; died 30 Jan 1942 at Carterton, Wairarapa, New Zealand, at age 82; buried 1 Feb 1942 at Carterton, Wairarapa, New Zealand. She was also known as Mary Jane Bagley. Children of Jessie ADAMSON and Henry VALLER were as follows: Harriet VALLER, born 6 Mar 1864 at Head of the Bay, Banks Peninsula, New Zealand, married William VALLER. Harry VALLER, born 6 Mar 1867 at Porirua, Wellington, New Zealand married Elizabeth THORNTON.

Inscription alongside Carkeek name: This inscription on the original passenger list is very faint. If anyone is able to shed light on its meaning, we would appreciate hearing from you. Please contact Denise & Peter.
