While researching my family tree i have found out that two brothers travelled to New Zealand on this ship.
LADY JOCELYN - LONDON TO TAURANGA
27 September 1880 - 02 January 1881
the passenger list is as follows, and they also had a son born on board who they named Jocelyn after ship.
SWARBRICK Alice 7, Daniel 5, Emily 3, Harriett 11, Isabella 8, John G 2, Jonathan 6, Jonathan, Oswald 4m, Sarah Mrs 36,
SWARBRICK William, Prudence Mrs 30, Jocelyn
1881 January 1st Mrs William Swarbrick A son
I was wanting to find out if i still had any living relatives in New Zealand, but the only info i can find is a log of the Birth for Jocelyn, i also have a lot of letters that have been sent from New Zealand by the two brothers to their remaining family in the UK, but they stop after a few years.
Dose anyone have any information or some advice about where best to look.
many thanks
Andy

hi, I have just seen your message while scrolling thru the Seddon messages.
My great grandmother came to New Zealand to look after her two brothers who had recently sailed here, her name was Sarah Louisa Swarbrick. I am unsure of the date she came to New Zealand or the name of the ship. Sarah Louisa Swarbrick and her 2 brothers settled in Hamilton. I know 1 brother was called Arthur, he was born in 1851 and married in 1881 to Adriana Henrika Pieters of Rotterdam, they were married in England, and went onto have 5 children. I'm not sure who the other brother was. The brothers set up their own legal practice in Hamilton.
Sarah Louisa met her husband in New Zealand and married him in 1886, his name was Robert Seddon. They went on to have 4 children.
Sarah and Arthur were part of a family of 13 children. Their parents were Samuel Swarbrick (he had something to do with the railways) and Sarah Fawcett.
Other children in the family were called:- George William Fawcett, Mary Harriet, Emily Jane, Florence, Elenor Maud, Henry Herbert, Frederick, Alice Maud, Charles Fawcett, Baby boy, and Benjamin.
Surnames of those they married include:- Smith, Wilson, Fawcett....
Don't know if their is a connection, let me know.

Hello,
I was raised in Hamilton and I remember Swarbrick Park.
The Hamilton Swarbricks are geographically closer to Tauranga than the ones mentioned above in Hawkes Bay.
Here is a link to the history of the Swarbrick & Swarbrick Solicitors in Hamilton:
http://www.swarbrickdixon.co.nz/history.html
Good luck

Hi
Thank you so much for your information re the Swarbricks. For some reason or other my family did not have any contact with their family so I have very little information. My great Grandfather was Robert Seddon, he married a Swarbrick, and I believe it was his Seddon family who also gave Seddon Park in Hamilton. We are not related to the PM.

Hi. I am researching the passengers on the Lady Jocelyn (which arrived Tauranga 2 January 1881) who went on to settle in Te Puke. This is for a book on the families and people of the area. On board the Lady Jocelyn were
SWARBRICK
Alice 7, Daniel 5, Emily 3, Harriett 11, Isabella 8, John G 2, Jonathan 6, Jonathan,
Oswald 4m, Sarah Mrs 36,
SWARBRICK William, Prudence Mrs 30, Jocelyn (male born 1 Jan 1881)
Jonathan and his family ended up in Gisborne. His brother William died in 1891 and is buried at Waikumete cemetery, Auckland. It looks like baby Jocelyn Jenkins SWARBRICK who was born the day before they arrived off the coast of Tauranga died in 1888 aged 7 years and is also buried at Waikumete. I would love to exchange information on this family.
Also this was printed in the Bay of Plenty Times newspaper:
SEDDON – SWARBRICK - On the 12th August at St Peters Hamilton, by the Rev R O’C Biggs, Robert Seddon of Tauranga to Sarah Louisa, third daughter of Samuel Swarbrick, The Cedars, Tottenham, London. [Waikato Times, Tues 17 Aug 1886 + Bay of Plenty Times, 21 Aug 1886, p2].
I don't think that this Swarbrick family (ie the Hamilton solicitors) are related to the Te Puke/Gisborne family. Robert and Sarah Louisa are buried at the Hamilton East cemetery.
Yours

My maiden name is Swarbrick and I live in the Waikato NZ. My great grandfather was Arthur who is mentioned in a previous posting my grandfather was Henry Augustus who married Dorothy Mary Seddon. My father Roger Louis married my mother Dorothy Mary Court in 1950. Both my father and grandfather and great grandfather practiced law in Te Awamutu and then my elder brother Richard joined my father and still practices today in the firm now known as Swarbricks having practiced law in NZ since 1893 - I am one of the 23 mentioned in oldfriends along with my nephew James -

Te Puke does have a connection with the Waikato Swarbrick's. Robert Seddon (c1859-1906) married Sarah Louisa Swarbrick in 1886 in Hamilton.
They had three sons and one daughter as far as I can make out. There is a Seddon Street in Te Puke named in honour of Robert. Please contact me if you require any further information.
Yours

Hi Balloonatic
Your great grandfather - Arthur Swarbrick, was brother to my great grandmother - Sarah Louisa Swarbrick, who married Robert Seddon.
Arthur and Sarah's parents were Samuel Swarbrick (who was the accountant for the Midland Railway, and then General Manager of the Great Eastern Railway Company in England) and Sarah Fawcett.
Robert Seddon and Sarah Louisa Swarbrick had 3 sons and 1 daughter:- Professor Herbert Robert Seddon (who helped set up the veterinary school in Sydney), Samuel Thomas Seddon, Diamond Seddon, and my grandfather George Hume Seddon, who was a lawyer and became Register General of the land and deeds dept.
I have a little info. on the Swarbrick family if you are interested. Sarah L. left a family tree which I have in my possession. I can post you a copy if you let me have your details.

Dear Christine and Jenn,
Jonathan Swarbrick was born in 1846 in Upper Rawcliffe the son of John Swarbrick and Alice [Parkinson] - John and Alice had nine children in total and I have some information on this Swarbrick family.
Sarah Louise Swarbrick was born in Manchester in 1849 the daughter of Samuel Swarbrick and his wife Sarah [Fawcett] - Samuel and Sarah had ten children in total and again I have a fair amount of data on this family.
I can send you a file with all the data I hold if you would please send me a PM so that we can exchange email addresses.
regards,

I know this post is really old but here goes...
In the original post Andy was looking for descendants of William Swarbrick and Prudence who went to NZ on The Lady Jocelyn.
Prudence is my ancestor. She and William married in 1880 just before setting sail to NZ. I think they had an additional two children in NZ, but unfortunately by 1892 all of the children and William had died. Prudence returned to England and remarried.
Would love to be in contact with anyone who knows anything about this family's life in NZ.
Thanks
Tracy

Hi Tracey,
Welcome to Rootschat ;D
There appear to be 3 children born to this couple between 1880-1890 in N.Z.
Jocelyn Jenkins SWARBRICK 1881
Ruth Alice " 1882
Margaret Isabella ' 1885
Cant help you with their life but thought you might like names of children :D
Jocelyn died 1888 aged 7yrs and Ruth 1885 aged 3.
as this website is fairly new can not find death of William or Margaret on it yet.
I am sure other people with connections to this family will contact you soon. You need to make abt 3 postings before you activate the PM (personal message) system.
Good luck with it all ;)

Is it possible that Margaret Isabella did not die?
There are 2 possible marriages for her under the name Isabella;
1901 to Walter Joshua WADHAM
1917 to Henry Christian ROSACKER
All searchable on;

thank you - very helpful. ;D
I know that William and Jocelyn were buried in Waikumete cemetery having found there records online but the other two children are not mentioned. I do not know that the other children died but there is no mention of them in the 1901 census in England where I have found Prudence remarried and widowed again. I would have thought she was rather young to leave behind but she may have stayed on with Williams brother Jonathon and his family I suppose.
In a ships diary I have found online it talks about the birth of Jocelyn as being a sign of future success and a happy omen for those on board the lady Jocelyn - not so for poor Prudence I feel.
Thanks again
Tracy

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for - my great grandfather was Arthur Swarbrick son of Samuel who emigrated out to NZ then married Adriana and my grandfather was their son Henry Augustus who married Dorothy Margaret Seddon
