William ROSE

[fred21]

I'll have to try and hunt them out - they are all packed away at the moment in storage.  From memory there is not a lot on them.

Just father's name: William.  occupation is hard to read but could be labourer?

Her birthplace on her NZ marriage says Maidstone, Kent (this is from memory but I'm pretty sure that what is said)

She is on the 1841 census for Kent - aged 15 a servant.

She married James Stacey the following year  23 Aug 1842 in Maidstone, Kent.  Her and James then left no long after as he was transferred overseas.  They went 1st to Australia and then to NZ.  James died in 1852 in New Zealand and Martha remarried in 1853 to Samuel CAMPTON who was also a soldier.

He was in the army 57th Foot Reigment and his rank was Private

Where was this information recorded in relation to a Martha?

So this is probably the English marriage

A transcript on FindMyPast states that James was a Sergeant in 58th Foot, his father was George Stacey, a tailor, and Martha’s father was William, a labourer.
