The ship Maryann sailed 24 September 1841 and landed in Nelson 7 February 1842. On board amongst 174 emigrant passengers were

Benjamin Eyles child age 10 bap 25 Aug 1833 d 1882
Ezra Eyles child age 2 who died on the voyage. ( the illegitimate child of Elizabeth before she married Thomas Tidd)

Daniel and Jane are my gggg grandparents. Their son Charles who is between Mary and William was not on the. He was believed to be serving with the Devonshire regiment in Australia and came to NZ between 1848-52 on the brig "spray".

Also there are two older children of Daniel and Jane who traveled on the Maryann under their married name. Elizabeth b c1814 d 1899 with Thomas TIDD and Amelia b 14 Sep 1816 East Meon Hamp d 1 July whose first husband Thomas CRESSWELL died on the Whitby on the way to nelson. Her second husband was a John Holdaway who I believe was also on the Maryann to Nelson

Charles Eyles b 26 January 1821 in Lasham Hampshire and died 5 April 1886 in Lower Wairau Blenheim ( no grave stone)
m (1) Maryann Dunkley b 24 November 1822 in Little Bowden, Northhampton d 21 October 1899 in Blenheim NZ.
and alter lived with Selina Higgins.

Any other Eyles reasearchers out there other than the ones I have already been in email contact with?
