Cameron/Levy/Marks - birth Query

[koren]

 
Hi again. 
I am slightly saddened after reading all of this thread.  Not by anything you have said.  But that back in the day something must have happened to my gg grandfather James Hyde, to be totally left out of his mum's will (the only child to be forgotten).  The only thing I can think of is that it may be because he married my gg grandmother, a full blood maori?  If only we knew! 

According to his grand-daughter (my nana who turns 80  this year), he had NO family!
I have all of his line sussed though and its sad that there is so much info on the other siblings but not him.

Arther Hyde (the last son born)  was originally on James' will until he moved from Wairoa to Wellington and had his own family.  He signed over rights to be an executor.  Why was he the only one on James' will.  There were plenty of other siblings and Arthur was 12 years James junior! contd

Also to 'swandee' i think it is - Arthur Hyde's great grandson's wife - I would love to know more about this side as there may be clues to James.  Is your husband the son of Elizabeth Jean, Nola or Norman? 

I am so excited after reading this thread fully, yet so saddened that my nana, who thought there were no other Hyde's could have met her great aunties and family!  I have an aunty and cousins who are named Ellen after one of the twins, and it wasnt till reading this thread I was able to find the link to the name Ellen!  James first daughter (my g grand mother) was named Ketia Eliza Hdye - after her grand-mother on the maori side, and Eliza Hyde (Charle's wife).

Oh the mystery.  If anyone can help I would be greatly appreciative.

Hi
So are you one of the Clevedon bunch?  I grew up in Papakura and we never made the connection.  Thanks to James (Thomas's nephew) never mentioning ANY family.  Please lets talk.

Hello Koran

Great to hear from you.
Thomas Hyde and his uncle Henry I have first found in Wairoa [ Ardmore  area as is now] in 1854 with some land.

In May 1864 Henry married a widow Ann Cooper and returned to Buckden after disposing of his assets to Thomas.

As you know from shipping records Charles Hyde and his family arrived 1870 and with them came two younger sisters Martha and Harriet. They bath married in Clevedon. Another sister, Maria also came out here. She was married to a George Couldrey.


I could go on for pages but I think we are going to have to get together around a table with bits of paper etc and old photos.
Are  you still in Papakura ? I would like to catch up with your family.

Regards,
Libran

Hi
Believe it or not my family live in Ardmore Heights.  But I am in Wellington.  However, I am moving back home after 9 years with my family and will be living in Papakura.  My son is enrolled at Ardmore Primary to start in April 2011.  I am the only one doing any research but am passing on all info to family concerned.  I would love to catch up at some stage.  I will be up there before xmas for a visit.  Are we able to exchange emails?

Hi,
My husband is descended from Arthur's son, Norman.  I've only just started researching his family.  I don't have a great deal at the moment. Just Arthur's d/c and m/c. THis post has given me clues to the English census, which is great..  I did see Eliza Hyde's obit on papers past.  In reference to the original post here, it did mention her son E Hyde in Sydney. So I guess the family knew where he had taken off to.

Hi
I researched Arthur a bit because he was the only one on my gg grandfathers will.  I am now trying to work out why he was disassociated with his family and not on his mum's will even though he was still alive at the time of her writing it.  What I have of Arthur is who he married, his childrens names, who they married and where the burial plot is in Karori.  Also, bits in pieces like home address in Brooklyn of Arthur and Elizabeth, where he died, paperspast has a bit on one sister Nola.  Happy to share if you dont have this info.  I have put anything I do have (except plot numbers) on my geni family tree.  If you want to go on there search geni.com and become a member (its free). Search their names and it should pop up, then you will just need to invite me into your tree. 
So I know the family were in Wellington.  Where are they now?  I live here so could meet up.  I am fascinated with all of this and its sort of become a hobby.

Hi everyone - Lozza here!

Sorry haven't been on for ages (dealing with a marriage break-up) and just got my family history out the last couple of days again. Just re-read messages on here.

Smandee, Koren & Libran - did you meet up? Any new discoveries? Would love to hear the latest!

Would still like to get to New Zealand one of these days but won't befor at least 2 years.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and is enjoying a well-earned break,

Loz
