Sepia Saturday 201: Ghosts in an old house - a baby's head

This is my second attempt at Sepia Saturday which is a fabulous thing I've just discovered!  I have already written a post on an ancestral house which had three generations of my family living in it.  Click here to read more about Willowgrove and its history.   It was a beautiful old colonial cottage, built sometime around 1870-1871, probably built by builders for my ancestor Karl Philipp Meng who bought the land from the Crown in the district of Ohoka, Canterbury, New Zealand.  

This house had many deaths in it - seven in total that we know about, possibly more.  There was the death of twin baby girls aged three and four months, named Lina and Amelia Meng who failed to thrive as their mother had no breast milk and they wouldn't drink from a bottle.  Then there was the death of their mother Elise Katharina Meng in 1879 along with her stillborn baby.  She bled to death and her husband Karl came back and found her dead.  We don't know any exact details of what happened, only that her husband wasn't there when she died and that "postpartum hemorrhage, ignorant neglect" was written on her death certificate.  Very accusing words, but who was to blame was never mentioned!

Karl was left without a wife to care for the four girls he still had.  Then his daughter Elise Mary died aged 12 of pneumonia in the same house - four deaths now in this house.  Karl remarried, moved out and leased the property to other farmers.  When he passed away in 1885, the house and farm passed to his three daughters.    One of the daughters, Mary Lord, nee Meng ended up owning the property with her husband Edwin, eventually paying out her sisters.  

While the Lord family lived in the house they lost two family members.  Catherine Lord who died at aged 1 month old as she wouldn't feed and their son Carl Edwin Lord, or Carly for short, died aged 7 years old in 1910 and so very much loved by the family.  He died of diptheria and left the family in a state of mourning.

Carly aged about three

So Willowgrove, which probably had a lot of good memories, also had a lot of ghosts.  

I visited the property in February 1997 with my Mum, it turns out we made the visit only two months before it was demolished.  At the time we had no idea of this impending demolition and were sitting at the dining table that day and started talking about the house.  Some pine trees had been cut down and the house was now visible in the distance from the road and we kept thinking about it.  We decided if we didn't visit then and there, then we would never do it and might miss the chance.  We drove the 9 kms to get there and knocked on the door of the new house which was built about a hundred metres away from the original farmhouse.  The people in the house were tenants and said we were welcome to look around the old farmhouse but that the floorboards upstairs were rotten and not to go up there. 

We took many photos inside and outside the house and I got them printed and filed them away for a few years.  When I went to do a family history book over ten years later, I decided to scan the photos and put them into my book.  After scanning them and blowing them up, I saw two strange faces looking at me from the picture.  One looks like a face in the top window and the other a baby's head.  They are probably just cobwebs or shadows but everyone in our family agrees that they look ghostly.  I like to think that ghosts do exist.  What do you think?

Spooky baby's head?





























A face at the window?

Beautiful Ada and Hinga!

My Great Grandma and her sister May had two friends from their childhood in Ohoka.  Their names were Ada and Hinga Ropu.  I can not find where they were born, only the record of their burial in Sydenham Cemetery, Christchurch.  They likely met my Great Grandma, Dorothy, and her sister through either the Tuahiwi Church or Te Waipounamu school for girls in Ohoka.  Maybe they went to both places?

In adult life they apparently lived in a small house near Hagley College and Hagley Park, Christchurch and never married.  The photos we have of them are glamorous and they were truly beautiful.  They apparently often wore furs and beautiful clothes.

Ada Rahara Ropu was born 1897 and died 31 December 1941 aged 44, spinster.
Rangihau Hinga Te Ropu was born about 1900 and died 31 May 1973 aged 73, spinster.

They are also buried in Sydenham Cemetery with possibly a brother:
Thomas Te Ropu Ropu born about 1900 and died 14 June 1960 aged 60, shearer.

The following photos are the kinds that people used to give to friends and family at Christmas with a small greeting written on the corner.  These ladies had natural classic style and even today it is still timeless! They are some of my favourite photos from our family collection. The first photo is of glamorous Hinga Ropu and the other four photos are of beautiful Ada Ropu.




 

The Oldest Photo I Own

This photo is very very old.  I'm guessing around 1856-1860 judging by the hairstyle over the ears and the sleeves on the dress.  She is wearing a pale dress, not as common in the 1860s and 70s I think (I might be wrong here).  I am not used to seeing such a light coloured dress.  Many of the photos in our collection have women in darker coloured dresses probably because they were serviceable and the fact Queen Victoria was wearing a huge amount of black after the death of her husband in 1861.  Women looked up to her and copied her.  This photo is possibly a daguerreotype photo as it has a weird mirrored look.  But it could be an ambrotype and I'm mistaken.  The image almost appears like a negative, however it is not.  I'm not sure if it is exactly how it was in the 1850s or if it has been damaged over the years to give this weird ghostlike appearance.

Is the picture English or German?  I have both nationalities in my family tree.

I don't know anything else about it which is very frustrating.  It was in an old trunk of photos that my great grandmother stored in her house for 60 years.  If anyone can shed light on it, I would love to know!  I have a feeling it was brought out on an immigrant ship to New Zealand.  A likeness of a sweetheart, which we still have today.

Could it be an image of Sarah Winfield Brown?  Did she give a likeness to her sweetheart James Potts who departed for New Zealand on the ship Glentanner leaving 11 June 1857.  Sarah followed in 1860 on the ship Gananoque and married James soon after arrival.  Sarah is the most likely candidate for the subject of the photo.   It is hard to compare this young girl to the older lady I know as Mrs Potts, age having taken it's toll so to speak.  Or could this girl be a sister of one of my ancestors who left for New Zealand all those years ago.  Less likely but still possible.  Or a sweetheart that never followed her man out and found the idea just too risky and adventurous so stayed behind in her homeland.
 

Ship Diaries Hidden in Wardrobes

I was at a party at the beginning of the year and talked to a friend of mine about my ship books (you have to be careful how you say that in a loud room!)

Anyway he said that his friend had a ship diary in her wardrobe which only her family and a couple of friends had seen.  My eyes popped out of my head!  Then he said that he was sure there were many people with ship diaries hidden in their houses that have never seen the light of day.  They have never been bequeathed to a museum or sent to the Alexander Turnbull Library.  After the Christchurch earthquakes we have all learnt how important it is to preserve our history as it can be lost in a second.  Diaries too can be lost in a second due to flooding, fire and various other tragic events. 

So anyway, I am putting out a request for any such diaries which could be turned into a super wee book.  In return for use of the diary I would give the family some free copies of the finished book and full credit and ownership of the information, (stated in the front of the book.)  The books would go into the National Library and other libraries around the country, to be preserved for another 100 years or more.

All my books are fully referenced in an academic manner so that every statement can be traced back to the original source.  I am writing them out of interest and to help others tracing their family's ancestral journey to New Zealand.

If you are interested in sharing your precious diaries, please email me using the email on the right hand side of this blog.  I promise you won't be disappointed in the final book I would produce for you.

The Jemmett Family - From humble NZ colonists to royalty in 800 years!

This blog covers my family tree on my Mum's side of the family.  It doesn't cover the tree on my Dad's side. My Dad has written a whole book on his side of the family which was published in 2003.    He has done an amazing job on the Jemmett family tree!

The Jemmett family consisting of Daniel, Hannah and their children Nathan, George, Charles, Martha and William left London for Lyttelton, New Zealand in 1873 aboard the Edwin Fox.    They were incorrectly named as Gimmett.  

Why did they come to New Zealand?  Probably because they were dirt poor Agricultural labourers and thought there would be more opportunities in New Zealand.  Work was getting more scarce in England and New Zealand was a new hopeful place to go.  

Daniel Jemmett's father was named Griffin, of John, of John, of John, of Griffin, of John, of Griffin, of Walter. By the time you get back to Walter (born about 1583 in Shiplake - died before 1659) you are in the time of Queen Elizabeth I.  He even lived to hear about the execution of Charles I in 1649.  This puts the era into context.  We are now a long long way back to the time of ruffles around the neck!

Walter Jemmett was somewhat well off compared to his Jemmett descendants.  We know this because he actually had a will.  I am not sure of the exact words in the will.  My Dad has it somewhere.  Walter Jemmett wasn't the commonest name and it was easy to find that he married a woman named Mary Higgs.  

A few years back I didn't know what to get my Dad for Christmas so I started looking at the far back end of the family tree that my Dad had spent many years on.  I was trying to get back further, using mainly information on the web.  This can be somewhat dangerous and shouldn't really be attempted without good references and proof.  There are some genealogical nutcases out there, I'm sorry to say.  In some cases though it does work, as in this case!

Dad knew that Mary Higgs was probably born to Griffin Higgs and Sarah Payne.  We thought this was highly likely considering the amount of "Griffins" in the Jemmett family.  However we needed further proof as there was another Mary Higgs born around the same time in a similar area.  

Mary Higgs, daughter of Griffin Higgs had a brother Griffin Higgs.  I did a google search and found the following article on this man.  It turns out he was famous!  He was an academic, a churchman and the dean of Lichfield from 1638.  I had been to Lichfield Cathedral with my father in law and his partner, my husband and baby daughter at one point on a lovely family outing while visiting England in 2007.  At that stage I had no idea that my 10x great granduncle had been dean there.  

Griffin (sometimes known as Griffith) also had a lot to do with Merton College, Oxford.  He gave them one of the largest bequests that the College Library had every received.  Higgs was a Fellow there from 1611-26.  Afterwards he was Chaplain to Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia.  This was during her exile to the Netherlands.  He bought most of his books while overseas at auction sales.  There are over 650 of his book collection in the Merton College library.  Wow, he was educated and left a great donation to Merton College.  He seemed great but how could I connect him for sure to my Mary Jemmett nee Higgs!

It was this properly referenced academic article that helped me.  Click here

The article has a transcription of Griffin's will word for word, with the following sentence: 

"I do give and bequeath to my eldest sister, Mary Jemett of Shiplake in the county of Oxon, widow, a gold ring with a fair diamond in it, in forme of a heart given me by her Ma^tie the Queene of Bohemia." 

This finally proved that the family relations were all correct.  After that the sky was the limit.   Griffin was the son of Nicholas Higges, son of Thomas Higges, son of John Higges who married Julianna de Sandford.  The de Sandford family are very connected but I couldn't prove who the father for Julianna de Sandford was.  I then looked at the Barton family.  One of Griffin Higgs' great grandfathers was Griffin Barton of South Stoke.  His father was Harrye Barton who married Alice Marten, and Harrye's father was Thomas A. Barton who married Catherine Mylbourne.

Thomas and Catherine Barton nee Mylbourne had a son Griffin (Griffith) Barton born about 1506.  So the name Griffin is still present in the tree!  How much further back did it go? 

Catharine Mylbourne was the daughter of Simon Mylbourne and Jane Baskerville.  This now leads us back to royalty.  Catherine was one of 12 sisters!  A huge family of girls!  One can see why our family never were that rich or titled.  Our family follows a mainly female line to get back to any kind of royalty.  

The Baskerville family were a very well to do and connected family.  There is a comment in the Baskerville family history (click here) that the Baskervilles of Eardsley (which is our line) lost their wealth.  Well that is probably another reason why we ended up as farm labourers.

To stop this story becoming very long winded I will summerise what happened next.  I found the Baskervilles were descended from many of the Welsh Kings and Queens, because of a marriage of Robert Baskerville born 1090  to Agnes Verch Rhys.  Agnes family tree includes all the very old Kings and Queens some of which were at Powys Castle (the newer version of which I have visited).  Her father was Rees App Griffiths (another Griffith!!)  Once you have one royal in the family you go back to just about every royal house you can think off.  The tree goes nuts!

So I put all the information together.  It cost me nothing and it was basically the best Christmas present my Dad had ever received.  He bounced off his chair with excitement. 

By the way, everyone who has some sort of English ancestry will have a similar connection to royalty, I'm sure.  But it is just finding that key ancestor which unlocks the rest of the tree for you.  For us, having a very uncommon surname, combined with a very uncommon yet repeatedly used Christian name (Griffin) as well as a lot of hard work from my Dad, reading old parish records and wills, has led us to this point.  I also must say that relations in England had already worked out the connection but hadn't told my Dad.  So when Dad told them, they weren't surprised.  So I can't claim to have been the first to have found this connection! Good luck with searching!!

Prostitutes in Christchurch, New Zealand, 1867

I have been researching a couple of ships, the Brother's Pride and Lancashire Witch and both had women on board who were, or became prostitutes.  The reasons why they took up the "world's oldest profession," are not always known, but some notes on the document, tell of tragic tales of women who needed to support themselves and had no other means. Others may have had parents that neglected to bring their daughters up with the appropriate morals needed to have dignity in society in those days! The following is a transcription of the document R22198680 held in Archives New Zealand, Christchurch.  I hope it can be of help to other researchers.  I have done the best I can with transcribing but some words may still be wrong.  Please email me with any changes.

The Ship Clontarf 1858 - 1859 - 1860

Just informing everyone about a wonderful book written by Marolyn Diver in 2011, called "The Voyages of the Clontarf."  Her book is available on Trade Me or from Dornie Publishing.

The blurb on the back is as follows:

"The story of the clipper ship Clontarf:
In her short career the Clontarf made only two journeys to New Zealand between 1858-1860; introducing just under 800 emigrants to Canterbury. But before she slipped beneath the North Atlantic ocean she carried with her the unfortunate infamy of accumulating the worst human fatality from illness alone in a single voyage.

Using shipboard diaries, official documentation, shipping lists and the combined information from the descendants of Clontarf passengers themselves, this is an informative and in-depth record of the ship and her journeys."

I love this book and I would recommend buying it.  It gave me such an insight into what my ancestors went through and even has maps of the journey.  

It is only with Marolyn's help that I have been able to start writing my own immigrant ship books.  She is the founder of the "Ancestral Journeys of New Zealand Series" and I have meekly followed behind her.  She has given many hours of her time to help me and I can't thank her enough.
