Hi ellvera,

Here it is;

Intention to Marry Notice. Archives NZ Ref: BDM 20/8 Wellington 1863 p. 128/18.
Notice dated 12 February 1863: John JENKINS, bachelor, a mariner aged 39 dwelling at Wellington, length of residence 8 years, to marry Sarah DUCKWORTH, a widow aged 29, relict of William Duckworth deceased, dwelling at Wellington, length of residence ‘about 16 years’, in the private residence of the Rev. John MOIR in Wellington. Minister: Rev. John MOIR and others.

Thankyou so much Riley,
That is the best result I could have hoped for with the "relict of William Duckworth" thrown in
Much appreciated

Hi Barbara

I just spotted the ITM "result" (... and three cheers for "Riley" by the way).   

Yes, great news the William Duckworth info.

Now time to get the calculator out  ... "Sarah = about 16 years in Wellington".   

[Yes, I reckon she's looking really good for having been "Sarah BARRATT" (d/o of Wm. and Mary Ann). ]

Yes Lu
Calculator already out.I think this must be the daughter of William and Mary Ann.
John Jenkins has lived in Wellington for 8 years,which means circa 1855 - so must have been somewhere else if he came to NZ in 1842 (according to death cert)
Looking good though
Barbara
