Many people throughout the country were sympathetic to the plight of Maria and her children and contributed funds:

I am still searching for information on Captain Doble's date/place of birth to determine his age at the time of his death.

Interesting that he was the Mate on the schooner "Tyne" which was wrecked off the coast of Tasmania in early December 1861.

I also found in the Appendix to the Journal of the House of Representives, 11 July 1883 that an application (No. 17) by Maria Doble for a land grant was declined.  Her application was based on Robert Doble joining the Auckland Naval Volunteers on 29 June 1860 and being discharged on 30 November 1867.

I have still to check this out.

i Minniehaha,

Thanks for the links to the death notices.

I have not yet identified any living descendants of Capt Robt Doble.  I have however found the following marriages:

Charles William Doble married Bertha Elizabeth Schapp in 1887, NZ
Annie Louisa Doble married Francis Edmund Bryne in 1917, NZ
Frederick William Doble married Eleanor Reade in 1912, NZ

I can have a look for his death notice if you wish to go down the route of trying to trace descendants.

Thanks Minniehaha.  If you could take a look for a death notice this would be great.

I am also looking for descendants of Alfred Hunt as well and constructing a family tree.

Alfred and Bridget's daughter Violet Stanislaus Hunt married James White Harding in 1911.  They had 4 children:
James Hunt Harding 1912-1991
Violet Olga Hunt Harding 1913-1997.  Married Norman Everard Patterson
Betty Hunt Harding 1914-1914
Joffrey John Hunt Harding 1916-1975

I have not yet been able to identify any children of Violet's siblings yet.

Hello Wendy,

I have that death notice on my list. Do you know where Violet Olga & Jeffrey John died? If you don't, another Rootschatter may be able to provide this information......

Minniehaha.

Hi Minniehaha,

I don't know where Violet and Jeffrey died, although possibly Auckland.  I will check Auckland cemetery records and see if I can find them there.  A work in progress.
