Le Ruez, Rouet, or Lorraway
« on: Sunday 23 October 16 04:49 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
I am trying to trace my ancestors who moved from the Channel Islands to Waimate, Canterbury, New Zealand around 1874.  My great great grandfather, John Charles Lorraway passed away in New Zealand in 1881 and the family then immigrated to Mt Morgan (Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.  I am currently trying to find the ship they would have come to Australia in.  I am guessing they moved in 1882 and the following people would have been on board the ship - Mary Jane Lorraway (mother), and the children were John Charles, William, Edward, Alice (but I don't think Alice came to Australia, I think she stayed in Waimate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  It is very difficult with the name change.  Mary Jane's maiden name was Hutchins.  She married John Charles Snr in Jersey, Channel Islands.
Thanks
Toni

Thank you. It sounds like this would be a daughter of one of the children as this is my Grandfather's age.
Thank you. I will investigate it.

Yes that is Alice's death.   I have had the same problem trying to find his death. I couldn't find anything in New Zealand and nothing in Australia however the information I have says he died on 12th November 1881 in Owate Suth Island NZ.  This is not sourced however.
Thanks

Hello...

Welcome to Rootschat :)

Quote from: tcwaters
The information I have says John Charles LORRAWAY died on 12th November 1881 in Owate, South Island, NZ

Your informant may have been confused by the following death...

1882/1809 - LANAWAY, John Sydney - 22Y - d.o.d 12 Nov 1881

John Sydney LANAWAY drowned in the Catlin's River, in the South Island. The Catlins and Owake (modern name Owaka) seemed to be interchangeable names at the time.

http://tinyurl.com/zept8m7

(Or possibly "The Catlins" refers to the area and Owake/Owaka refers to a settlement in the area. I get a bit confused south of Christchurch :-)

---

Some more name variations from the BDM NZ website...

Births:
1878/17735 - LEURAWAY, George - mother:Mary   father:John

1880/15961 - LERAWAY, Charles Henry - mother:Mary Jane   father:John


Deaths:
1880/3654 - LERAWAY, Charles Henry - Age at death: 18 days

Regards
Beg
