Jessie ADAMSON 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. |
