UK request for help - Charles MYERS

[Fresh Fields]

Welcome Michael.

Glad you have joined, feel free to now run with the thread, as it is your quest, not mine. If it is to be found, the contributors herein will find it for you.

I will supply you with an ARCHWAY [our NZ Archives portal] listing of a Waikato Militia land grant application file, which I can photograph once the public are allowed to return, to the reading room at the NZ ARCHIVES, Auckland branch. If you see a Wellington held file of interest, our moderator “spades” will probably be able to help you out.

I will also supply you with some notes taken from recent research into the Journals of the Rev V LUSH an Anglican minister that details his monthly journeys out from Auckland to his parish base at Dury, and then covering all that South Auckland area, from there to Waiuku, down the coast to port Waikato and back via Tuakau to Dury, and home again. Will give you a great insight to what bush life was like in the mid to late 1860’s.

I will also keep looking for the accounts of friendly HOME INVASION by curious Maori, while the man of the humble home was away, or out for the day. I have read of several accounts, it’s just a case of trying to relocate them.

Housekeeping. Thread contributors live in differing time zones, and depending upon the zone that their computer is set at, can vary when online. Therefore when referring to previous posts we quote the unique post to thread number [eg Reply #6 and not the date stamp appearing on your screen]

All the best.
Alan.

Hi Michael, and welcome

Firstly, thanks for all the new information you’ve given us, it will point us in the right direction.

We can now discount the Myers who served in the 43rd Light Infantry Regiment and arrived per Lady Jocelyn, and the Te Aute reference as well.

PS Hard name to search on papers Past. Over 1,000 Auckland press hits for MYERS 1865 - 1870. Less if you drop the adverts, but then something might be missed.

Part quote from reply #23.....

"Charles’ son - Louis (Lewis on birth certificate) Myers born ?London Jan. 1, 1864, or 1865  - very confused and possibly inaccurate – "

This could be his birth registration?

Trying to pin down an arrival in Australia by looking at the directories

I’m really not having much luck.


Do we know Charles’ occupation in Adelaide?
