Hi Valda
Thank you for all that information you have given me a lot to think about and work on.  Francis was a confectioner and He owned a confectionary shop in Wolverhampton, the family lived in Tettenhall Rd a relative has told me it was the 3rd house from the city end but we do not know if that is where the shop was. The 1791 date was a baptism not a birth date and he may have been a few years old then.  I know that jane died in 1837 but could not find anything on Francis so I will check out the 1857 one.
Once again thank you for all your help.

Hi
Thanks heaps Lucy you have found Nurse Tricker.  One of Christopher's sisters was called Elizabeth I had only only found her in papers past where she had taken someone in who was injured.
I haven't found them arriving in Aust. or NZ. Australian shipping gives arrivals and departures 1788-1968 but I haven't found them there.
The daughter born in 1881 was called Emily. Christopher was a Coachman when he lived in London and I think he was listed as a labourer in NZ. I understand He owned property in Newtown but am not sure how to track that down.
I will send for those Certificates to see if they help.  I have the plot No. at Karori Cemetery.
Thank you for your help
Cheers

Hi
I am trying to find Christopher John George Marshall and his wife Harriett Marshall/Deane. I have them in London on the 1861 census and also think the are still there in 1871 but in Aug 1881 they had a daughter born in Rintoul St Newtown.  The family think they arrived in Petone but I have found no trace of them at the Settlers Museum. They may have come via Sydney but also no trace in Australian Shipping. They may have had 1 or 2 children with them one of them Thomas. I don't know where to go from here.
Also I am looking for Nurse Tricker who said to be Christopher's sister in his death notice.
Help Please
